Discussion on How to Realize Educational Equity in China from the Perspective of Double Reduction Policy

Abstract

In order to solve many existing problems in society, the double reduction policy was promulgated by China's State Council in 2021. Before that, too much homework has seriously affected students' physical and mental health, while the after-school tutoring agencies not only increase the economic burden on families but also lead to vicious competition to a certain extent. After the double reduction policy was promulgated, off-campus tutoring institutions around the country were under standardized management, and schools also launched more services to meet the needs of students. Since then, school has once again become the primary place for students to learn. The above problems are the causes of educational inequality. Moreover, there are many other problems in China, such as the unequal distribution of educational resources among different regions, the inability of rural students to receive better education, and the social climate of "score is the only one". These problems continue to simmer, creating anxiety throughout society. Therefore, the implementation of the double reduction policy has come to the point of no delay. The social desire for such policies shows that students with different economic conditions can no longer get the same level of educational resources, and the current schools are also unable to meet the needs of students and parents. This paper explores the existing educational problems in China from various aspects by taking the double reduction policy as the starting point. And these problems are analyzed, so as to give constructive suggestions one by one.
