Abstract

On May 21, 2021, the 19th meeting of the Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform considered and adopted the Opinions on Further Reducing the Burden of Homework and Off-Campus Training for Students at the Compulsory Education Stage. At this moment, the double reduction series of policies are officially introduced. The core of the double reduction policy is to reduce the academic pressure of the students concerned and focus on their psychological health development. This paper analyzes the policy itself in terms of the reasons for its implementation, its content and multi-dimensional impact. At the same time, it also focuses on the social environment, school level and family level to explain the impact of the policy on the psychological development of young people. Finally, based on the impact, this paper proposes strategies and solutions, mainly including reforming of the education system itself, promotion of pilot work and good cases, community-wide family education discussion, and after-school practice work. In previous studies, it has been generally accepted that the impact of mental health education on students under the "double reduction" policy is mainly due to parent-student relationship problems and students' self-management of time. In fact, this explanation does not take into account the synergy between society, schools, teachers, students, and parents. Therefore, in the context of the double reduction policy, it is crucial to study the mental health of adolescents and its related effects in a comprehensive and multidimensional manner.
