A Discussion of the Long-term Implementation of the “Double Reduction” Policy Dilemma and its Countermeasures

Abstract

The "double reduction" policy has achieved remarkable results since its implementation. However, the management of the academic burden in the compulsory education stage is a long-term project. The key to achieving the "double reduction" policy goal lies in the long-term implementation of the policy. Based on the analysis from the perspective of the policy implementation network, this research found that the dilemma of long-term implementation of the "double reduction" policy is as follows: Policy path dependence in the network environment, short-term conflicts between national and individual development needs, utilitarian and short-sighted educational culture; The policy configuration represented by the government is not reasonable enough; The production network cooperation relationship represented by schools, off-campus training institutions and social organizations is weak, and the supply efficiency of educational resources is low.Faced with the above dilemmas, this paper tries to argue that it is necessary to build a government-led, multi-participation policy collaborative innovation mechanism; to build a coordination mechanism for supervising administrative law enforcement under strict supervision and the rule of law; to create a valueled and demand-oriented whole-process policy communication mechanism; and to optimize the supply of public education resources through multiple cooperation and mutual compensation.
