[Explanation] With the implementation of the "double reduction" policy, China's education ecology is undergoing a lot of changes.
By the end of 2021, the reduction rates of offline and online institutions for subject training were 91.45% and 87.07%, respectively. The chaos of expansion of training institutions has been effectively curbed, and the problem of students' excessive homework burden has been initially resolved.
[Explanation] The 2022 National Two Sessions will be held soon, and the "double reduction" as a hot topic in the field of education has also attracted the attention of the delegates.
The Democratic Progressive Central Committee submitted the "Proposal on Reasonably Reducing the Burden of Teachers and Providing Effective Incentives and Guarantees under the Background of "Double Reduction".
Recently, Zhu Yongxin, member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy secretary-general and vice-chairman of the Central Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party, said in an interview that the "double reduction" is essentially to ease the anxiety of education and respond to the needs of the masses, and a series of positive progress has been made.
However, there is still room for improvement in terms of teacher incentives and guarantees.

The burden on teachers has increased. On the one hand, it may be necessary to reconsider the background of "double reduction" in terms of teacher establishment.
Because after-school service hours have been extended and holiday service hours have been extended, the staffing of teachers may still not be enough.
Then the other is the income of the relevant teachers. Now, in many places, teachers add 5 yuan per hour to the class, so it seems that there is still a big gap compared with the labor value of teachers.
[Explanation] In the process of "double reduction", how to meet students' personalized learning needs is also particularly important.
Zhu Yongxin said that in addition to on-campus resources, some high-quality social education resources can also be better utilized.

In fact, after the rectification of off-campus training institutions, these off-campus training institutions, whether disciplinary or non-disciplinary, actually have a lot of very good educational resources. Now these educational resources have been rectified, I think it is actually a big waste. .
So I think we need to study how to make good use of various socially effective educational resources to serve our school education.
The other is how to increase financial input, I think this issue is also worthy of attention.
[Explanation] In addition, Zhu Yongxin believes that under the background of "double reduction", it is still necessary to encourage the development of non-profit private education.

Now many places in the country have banned the establishment of new private education, and many places only require that the current private schools should be changed to public education. I think this may not be the direction.
Private schools have more flexible mechanisms, and many experimental and exploratory ones can be promoted in public schools after private schools mature.
Private school is not a simple supplement, it has its special meaning.
Therefore, I propose that our country should encourage the development of non-profit private schools. In the past, it was wrong for capital to enter education in the direction of profit-making, but the way capital entered education to use foundations to carry out non-profit private education, I think it is should be encouraged.
[Explanation] The current "double reduction" policy is still advancing steadily.
Zhu Yongxin expects that in the near future, education can return to its essence, and common sense in education can be transformed into social consensus.

The real test of "double reduction" is this year (2022) in the senior high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination.
If the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination are still the same as in the past, the score is still calculated, or the memory test is to brush the questions, then parents will choose to increase the burden on their children (schoolwork).
Of course, what is more important is how to better help the whole society improve educational literacy after the "double reduction", better understand education, pay attention to education, and realize what good education is.
Happiness is more important than success, and adulthood is more important than success.
Acknowledging children's differences and helping each child to truly enjoy his life and his learning is the most important thing, and have a happy childhood.
