A Study on the Current Situation of Childcare Anxiety among Secondary School Students under the Double Reduction Policy

Abstract

In recent years, with the increasing pressure of employment competition, the society as a whole attaches great importance to education. The unified education standard has been unable to meet the needs of Chinese families for children's education, which directly leads to the aggravation of students' academic burden and the prevalence of parents' childcare anxiety. It has become a common social phenomenon. In response to this phenomenon, the government has issued a "double reduction policy" to regulate and rectify from four parts: reducing the homework burden, improving the school teaching quality, standardizing off campus training institutions and ensuring the after-school service level. This research takes urban middle school parents as the interview participants, through the interview to understand the change of middle school parents' childcare anxiety after the introduction of the policy, and deeply explore the relief and influencing factors of the policy on parents' childcare anxiety. Based on the policy, this research puts forward relevant suggestions to alleviate parents' childcare anxiety from the three dimensions of society, government and family.
