Education is the core of a nation, which determines its future. Thus, education reforms play an indispensable role during the whole process. Recently, Chinese government put forward a new policy called “Double Reduction” aiming to relieve the study burden of Chinese families. This research paper focuses on its influence to Chinese families and answering the following question. Does the double reduction policy really relive parents’ anxiety of children’s academic performance? Through questionnaires and the analysis of data, most of parents become more anxious than before for the high-stake examination still exists but the cram schools are banned. Therefore, majority of parents choose to tutor their children by themselves or hire expensive one-on-one teachers. This paper shows some aspects of the influence of the policy and put forward some solutions that could be taken into consideration.
