摘要

Primary and junior-high school stu-dents and their parents across the country have seen some changes since the new school year started on September 1. Students have less home-work, and their parents no longer need to correct the homework of their chil-dren. At the same time, the number of after-school tutoring institutions for pri-mary and junior-high school students is reducing. These changes are the con-sequence of national guidelines to ease the burden of excessive homework and off-campus tutoring for students during the nine years of compulsory educa-tion. Known as the "double reduction" policy, the guidelines were issued at the end of July, and took effect this semester.
