　　It is related to the fundamental task of Lide Shuren.

The heavy academic burden of students is a chronic malady, and the students are miserable.

　　Promote quality improvement within the school.

What are the results of the "double reduction"?

　　The false fire in the training market has been greatly cooled, advertising has basically disappeared, capital has been withdrawn substantially, and the phenomenon of savage growth has been effectively curbed.

The original 124,000 offline off-campus training institutions have been reduced to 9,728, with a reduction rate of 92%; the original 263 online off-campus training institutions have been reduced to 34, with a reduction rate of 87%; The completion rate of “revision review” has reached 100%; the pre-charge supervision has basically achieved full coverage, with a total supervision of more than 13 billion yuan; all provinces have issued government-guided price standards, and the average fee has dropped by more than 40% compared with before the introduction; after-school services are generally implemented in schools” 5+2” full coverage; a third-party survey shows that 85% of parents are satisfied with the school’s after-school services, 72% of parents report that their anxiety about education has eased, and more than 90% of students say that their academic burden has eased.

What to do in 2022?

　　The first is to strictly investigate invisible mutations and consolidate the results of governance.

Improve the normalization mechanism for illegal training inspections, severely crack down on violations such as “offline to online”, “crowdfunding private education”, “one-to-one”, and “discipline training in the name of non-discipline”, and strictly control discipline training at the non-compulsory education stage , to prevent a new training fever.

　　The second is to strengthen the supervision of non-disciplinary training and make up for weaknesses in governance.

Strengthen the co-governance of education and industry authorities, clearly set standards, strengthen price management, and maintain student health and safety.

　　The third is to improve the work promotion mechanism and strengthen supervision and inspection.

Build an off-campus training law enforcement system, promote the informatization of supervision, and continue to regard "double reduction" as the "No. 1 project" for education supervision.

　　The fourth is to adhere to both the symptoms and root causes and reconstruct the education system.

The fundamental purpose of deeply understanding the "double reduction" is to force schools to accelerate the realization of high-quality balance, improve the quality of classroom teaching, reform examination evaluation, realize the overall reform of basic education and teaching, and promote the overall and healthy growth of students.
