Abstract
Originally unique to the economic domain, the phenomenon of involution has extended its reach into the realm of education with the development of the times. In China, the manifestation of involution in education has emerged as a significant driver of educational anxiety, mainly drawing widespread attention at the compulsory education stage. The Chinese central government introduced the Double Reduction Policy in July 2021 to mitigate parental educational anxiety and foster a conducive educational ecosystem. This paper analyzes the Double Reduction policy from the perspective of involution, delving into the underlying rationale of Double Reduction as a means to alleviate educational anxiety. Furthermore, it scrutinizes the potential risks inherent in the involution of compulsory education and the escalation of educational anxiety in the post- Double Reduction era and provides some suggestions to mitigate these risks. The findings of this study not only serve as a catalyst for research into the involution of Chinas compulsory education system but also present fresh insights into mitigating educational anxiety.
