The Impact of the Implementation of 'Double Reduction' Policy on Tutors in Shadow Education: Legislation Goals and Early Experiences
Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, v54 n7 p1099-1115 2024
Private supplementary tutoring, also known as shadow education, has had a profound influence on Chinese education during the past twenty years. The rapid expansion of shadow education has attracted the attention and increased regulation of the Chinese government. In July 2021, the Chinese government adopted one of the most restrictive legislative constraints on shadow education: the so-called 'double reduction' policy. This policy aims to reduce the dual burden for students of on-campus classes and off-campus tutoring. Through analysis of China's central and provincial double reduction policies, this study examines the policy goals, accompanying instruments, and delineated implementation strategies. Interviews with tutors from shadow education institutions in five major cities in China uncover the strategies shadow education tutors have applied to mitigate the policy constraints and offer criticism of the Chinese political system and deficiencies in the neoliberal education system.
