Research on the Transformation of Educational Institutions under the Policy of Double Reduction

Abstract

With the development of the education industry, the increasingly fierce educational competition environment has put forward higher requirements for the quality education of primary and secondary school students in China. The introduction of the "double reduction" policy effectively regulates the whole macro society and promotes the transformation of educational institutions. Whether to do a good job in the transformation of primary and secondary education institutions is a major problem facing primary and secondary school students in improving quality education. Thus, this paper will make a case analysis of the policies issued by Beijing Municipal Government and the countermeasures taken by Beijing New Oriental Education and Technology Group. On this basis, the paper discusses the transformation of New Oriental education institutions in the face of the "double reduction" policy from the perspective of parents and students. The research shows that under the "double reduction" policy, the focus of quality education will return to schools. Although the government and educational institutions have taken a series of measures to reduce the "double reduction" policy, the transformation of primary and secondary educational institutions is still restricted by the demands of schools, parents and students. The current transformation of primary and secondary education institutions is not enough to meet the needs of schools, parents and students. To improve the quality education of primary and secondary school students not only needs to perfect the transformation of educational institutions, but also needs to adjust the school examination system or teaching system. This paper will examine this through qualitative analysis and a case study of New Oriental Education & Technology Group to conclude.

Countermeasures of Educational Institutions and Consumers under the Double Reduction Policy and during the COVID-19 Outbreak

“…Without a doubt, this may lead to solidification of social stratification and intergenerational transmission of socioeconomic status." [15] Considering the present environment, educational institutions need to speed up their transformation, which is embodied in the following two aspects. First, offline education should be shifted to online inquiry learning; and second, they should devote themselves to improving students' comprehensive quality, that is, tutorship oriented by academic scores needs to be replaced with an inquiry learning model that combines general knowledge courses with art and hobby training.…”

Research on the Impact of the Double Reduction Policy on Educational Institutions and K-12 Students

“…Extra-curricular classes generally meet the needs of two groups of students: those who are behind in their studies and cannot catch up with the class, who cannot fully understand the content in class and cannot receive timely and targeted instruction from the teacher in class, and who need targeted instruction after class. The other category is for students who are excellent learners in the classroom and are no longer satisfied with what is being taught in the classroom, so extracurricular tutoring can help them master more knowledge, preview, or learn what will be taught later [11]. This means that while students are given less homework, more free time, and less competition and pressure from outside training, they are required to improve their self-learning and mastery of control.…”

“…New Oriental Education & Technology Group, known as one of the largest and most well-known AST education companies in China, aims to transform its business not only within the education field such as quality education, but also launched active exploration outside the education field. Just one month after the double reduction policy approach, New Oriental established the Quality Education Growth Center with the aim of changing the original exam-oriented education and the major subjects to quality education to cultivate students' reading, language, art, and other aspects and follow the national call to promote the integration of moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor education [11]. The growth center has set up six sections: the Academy of Chinese Studies and Reading, the Language and Business Literacy Academy, the Arts and Creativity Academy, the Nature Science and Creativity Space Academy, the Intellectual and Physical Sports Training Center, and the Quality Parenting Studying Center, in which to cultivate children's aesthetic ability, creativity, and imagination [12].…”

The Impact of the Double Reduction Policy on the Development of Quality-oriented Education

“…In the wake of the policy stipulations, large education corporations have targeted new markets, investment institutions have shifted their investment targets, and more and more education practitioners have chosen the track of quality education. According to a study by Yiling Jin and Zhiqing Lai, New Oriental Education adjusted their business model in a very short period [11]. New Oriental Education established the Quality Education Growth Centre, which cultivates students' ability through six sections, which are the Academy of Chinese Studies and Reading, the Language and Business Literacy Academy, the Arts and Creativity Academy, the Nature Science and Creativity Space Academy, the Intellectual and Physical Sports Training center, and the Quality Parenting Studying Center.…”
