Implementation Status and Influence of After-School Services under the Background of "Double Reduction"

Abstract

"Double Reduction" marks a turning point for the high-quality development of school education, with various regions putting a stop to after-school tutoring to cut off sources of pressure. Schools are strictly controlling the overall workload while optimizing assignment designs and promoting flexibility. "5+2" serves as a new focus for enhancing the quality and efficiency of schools, with each school developing unique after-school service courses to cater to students' individual development needs. The combination of "Double Reduction" and "5+2" effectively "reduces" academic pressure on students, promotes their comprehensive development, and reinforces the core position of school education. However, it also gives rise to an "addition" effect, increasing parental anxiety over their children's academic performance, intensifying mid-week study pressure on students, and demanding higher levels of self-management skills.
