In recent years, China's education department has been promoting the policy of reducing the burden to reduce students' excessive academic burden. The policy of reducing burdens aims to improve students' learning quality and quality of life by reducing workload and examination pressure.

However, the effect of the burden reduction policy has been controversial. Some people think that the policy of reducing the burden is a positive reform measure, which can effectively reduce the burden on students and promote their all-round development. However, some people worry that the policy of reducing the burden may reduce students' learning enthusiasm and competitiveness, and affect the quality of education and national competitiveness.

First of all, the burden reduction effect of the burden reduction policy is remarkable to some extent. According to the data of the education department, in recent years, the schoolwork burden of students has indeed been reduced, and the number of schoolwork and examinations in schools has also decreased.

These data show that the policy of reducing the burden has played a role in reducing the burden to some extent. In addition, some schools have adopted some innovative teaching methods and evaluation methods, such as implementing quality education and canceling heavy homework and exams, which provides more possibilities for students to reduce their burden.

Secondly, there are some problems in the effect of the burden reduction policy. Some education experts point out that the policy of reducing the burden may reduce students' enthusiasm and competitiveness in learning to some extent. Due to the reduction of class hours and examination times, students may become slack and lazy, which will affect their learning effect and competitiveness.

In addition, some schools may have some deviations and shortcomings when implementing the burden reduction policy, which leads to the effect of reducing the burden is not obvious, or even counterproductive.

To sum up, the effect of the burden reduction policy is a complex issue, which needs the joint efforts and discussion of the whole society. To some extent, the policy of reducing burdens can reduce students' academic burden and improve their learning quality and quality of life.

But at the same time, we should also see that the burden reduction policy may bring some negative effects, which need to be guided and adjusted in the implementation process. Only by continuous improvement and perfection can we truly realize the effect of reducing the burden of policies and make contributions to the healthy growth of students and the future development of the country.
