More than 90 percent of students, parents and teachers agree with the “double reduction” policy(“双减”政策), according to a report. They think the policy makes students relax. The report was done according to a survey of 1.69 million parents and students, teachers and head teachers at 3,564 primary and middle schools across the country.

It found that 96 percent of students agree with the new policy, with parents at 92.8 percent, teachers at 90.5 percent and head teachers 96.8 percent. It also found the policy has achieved its intended results, with fewer students attending tutoring courses(辅导课) and schools giving less homework.

More than 88 percent of teachers said they have strictly limited the amount of homework given, 75 percent of students felt their homework has been reduced, and 83 percent of students said they can basically finish all written homework at school. As a result, primary school students are now getting about 9.3 hours’ sleep, with 8.5 hours for middle school students, the report said.

Sun Yuquan, a father of a sixth grader in Beijing’s Fengtai district, said the new policy has brought “more laughter and less conflict” to his family, because his son could spend more time developing his hobbies. He can finish almost all his homework at school, and in his free time, he can rest, do physical exercise and read, Sun said. His son also became more interested in taking photos and Sun said he often takes him to parks and museums on weekends to record beautiful things in life.
