After the"Double Reduction"Policy:Families'Coping Strategies and Unintended Consequences
Translated Abstract
It has been two years since the implementation of the"Double Reduction"policy,but has it had the desired effect?From the perspective of families,we conducted in-depth interviews with 25 parents,school teachers,students,and practitioners of training institutions in F city.The survey found that some families have not fully adapted to the"Double Reduction"policy.While schools have"reduced their burden",parents have"increased their burden".Additionally,although out-of-school training institutions have been affected,tutoring continues.Some families have formed alliances with schools and off-site training organizations in response to the"Double Reduction"policy.As a result,the"Double Reduction"policy has had limited success and unintended consequences.On the one hand,competition in education has expanded,shifting from competition among individual students to competition for family resources.On the other hand,the polarization of education has intensified.Depending on family resources and family strategies,families can be classified as"resourceful family","anxious family","relaxed family",and"lying flat family".The education of different types of families has become polarized.The fundamental reason for the failure of the"Double Reduction"policy to break the involution of education is that education is an important criterion for social stratification,and this underlying logic has not changed.
