| description | This paper discusses China’s “double burden reduction” policy and its impact on student’s academic performance, especially in mathematics this subject. The discussion covers the background of the specific policy, the controversies in its implementation, and previous research on its impact. The study aimed to explore the effect of policy on student performance in mathematics—the methodology involved semi-structured interviews with 26 participants, mainly conducted in Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province. The research result shows the implementation of the double reduction policy, especially in reducing homework, has largely been well received whereas the policy has had little impact onstudents’academic performance in mathematics. The interaction of this provision with the double reduction policy and its specific impact awaits further observation and research. |
