Li Youyi, principal, Beijing No 12 High School: The high-profile double reduction policy, which reduces students' extracurricular tutoring and homework burdens, has attracted great attention from society at large. It is far from sufficient for adolescents nowadays to only gain textbook knowledge. Education should instead inspire youth to stay curious, think independently and nurture problem-solving skills. In this way, they can shoulder relevant social responsibilities. Implementation of the double reduction policy is bringing education back to its essence, allowing students to have more time and motivation for all-around development.
