Abstract

This research aims to establish the impact of the Double Reduction policy about China in 21centery relieve teachers’ workload, the development of teachers, and trends in global education. Initiated as an intervention to reduce students’ academic burdens, this policy limits homework, after-school tutoring and shifts its focus to in-class quality learning. The literature indicates that the policy has eased some of the workload demands associated with tutoring and extensive grading. However, it has brought about other demands for education improvement that involve teachers’ modification of methods for teaching during regular school hours. The policy has also fostered professional growth by promoting interactive and student-centered teaching approaches, though its success depends on constant support and professional development resource. Positioned within a global context, the Double Reduction policy aligns with international movements advocating for balanced, sustainable education. From this perspective, the research points out how this policy can be one of the models for educational reform in the world to balance academic vigor with student and teacher well-being.
