Whether the double reduction policy reduces parents anxiety over their kids future: a qualitative research from China

This qualitative research aims to explore whether parents' education anxiety has been alleviated under the background of China's "double reduction" policy and the current involution of education in China. In 2021, China issued a "double reduction" education policy aiming to reduce the burden of homework and off-campus training for students in the compulsory education stage, thereby alleviating parents' anxiety about education, education investment, and easing the involution of education in Chinese society. So far, the policy has been in place for more than a year. When a new education policy is implemented, it may receive doubts, criticisms, and support from the public, but its results will gradually become apparent over time. In other words, it is of educational practical significance to study whether the "double reduction" education policy, which has been implemented for more than a year, alleviates parents' educational anxiety to a certain extent and improves the current situation of China's education involution to a certain extent. Based on the results, the authors summarize some suggestions.
