In July 2021, China introduced the ‘double reduction’ program, which aims to reduce the academic load for K-12 level (primary and secondary) students while also standardizing off-campus schools. Numerous investigations and research were carried out in China following the establishment of the ‘double reduction’ policy. These studies mainly focus on the people’s concerns and the impact of the policy. In this paper, four impacts were discussed including: 1) School education becomes the main part of Chinese education. 2) Parents’ anxieties are increased. 3) Educational training institutions are confronted with decruitment and transformation. 4) Private tutoring exacerbates educational imbalances. Then suggestions such as allocating educational resources equally for the government, setting rational expectations to their children for parents and focusing on the comprehensive development of students for schools are indicated in the end.
