Why do you want to propose a "double reduction" policy?
One of the most important functions of the "double reduction" policy is to solve the fertility problem. The main reason why many young people refuse to have children now is that they can't afford it. Education accounts for a large proportion of household expenditure, and it is increasing year by year. For that sentence, most families spend a lot of money on education, accounting for more than 20% or even more than 50%. Too many families scrimp and save, cut out normal expenses, and put all their money into the education of the next generation, so that children can "win at the starting line". The arrival of the double reduction policy is a blow to K 12 education company, which stops the utilitarian education of subjects, promotes the fairness of the overall environment, relieves the pressure of education expenditure, and makes young people "dare to live".
Another function of the "double reduction" policy is to correct the current abnormal off-campus education and create a good environment for healthy quality education. The policy has never denied the education industry, and from a historical point of view, from advocating filial piety to imperial examination system to quality education now, it is enough to see the affirmation of the education industry. This "big cleaning" is a denial of capital injection in the education industry. Mainly the gradual deviation between capital and educational purpose. What was the purpose of establishing educational institutions at the beginning, to make up for the shortage of school education or the knowledge loopholes of some students? Please remember the word "make up". With the influx of a large amount of capital, abnormal selling anxiety has stimulated market demand, and the status of educational institutions is also changing quietly. From "compensation" to "rigid demand", it is said that "you come, we will train your children; If you don't come, we will train your child's competitors. " It is the change of status that makes this market grow rapidly. Just look at "New Oriental", the leader in the education industry. From the end of September 20 15, its share price began to skyrocket, and by the end of February 2020, it reached its highest point. In five years, its share price rose from 20 to 186, an increase of 9 times, with an average annual growth rate of 56%. What? The favor of capital and the recognition of the market, who else? From then on, the task of educational institutions is not to invest more in knowledge research to make up for the shortage of students, but to dig deep into the skills, questions and "shortcuts" of exam-taking. Therefore, its courses deviate from the purpose of quality education to train talents, and strive to train customers into "examination machines" that can get high marks. The arrival of "double drop" is the biggest "killer" to change all this.

It is strictly forbidden to train preschool children in offline subjects (including foreign languages) in the name of preschool classes, young bridging classes and thinking training classes.

The management of discipline training institutions for ordinary senior high school students shall be implemented with reference to the relevant provisions of this opinion.
