There is increasing acknowledgement of the need to lighten the academic burden on Chinese primary and secondary students because it affects the quality of their education and well-being. This study investigates recent education policies to analyse how the problem of academic burden is framed in these policies and how they attempt to solve it. In this study, Carol Bacchi’s theory of the construction of policy problems and Paul Preuss’ theory of root cause analysis were utilised to provide a productive way to interpret the problem and causes of the academic burden. The data reveal larger social issues related to Chinese educational values perceived by different stakeholders and educational equity necessitating the lightening of academic burden. Therefore, policymakers need to consider the complexity of educational change to effectively reduce the academic burden.

Improving literacy skills has been of interest to researchers and it is strongly correlated with academic success. Investment in the education literacy is crucial even now or, more precisely, even more now, as it represents a significant part of preparing students for their independent learning and future work. In today's technologically driven, knowledge-based culture, young people need to be expert readers, writers, and thinkers to contend, compete, and succeed in the global economy. Higher education is evolving dynamically worldwide. After the medical crises during COVID-19 pushed faculty and higher education to shift to a totally digital environment, while facing economic and social insecurity, fast-paced changing labor work demands urged higher education to questioning its missions and roles. Digital technologies tremendously changed learning environment, especially the way knowledge is conveyed, transferred, and build up, as well as the way information is created, stored, and distributed.
