Shanghai's education authority said on Tuesday that it will research a recent State Council guideline and work out measures to enforce the document aimed at advancing education reform and improving the quality of compulsory education. As the guideline requires administrators and schools to prevent students becoming overburdened with studies and homework, the Shanghai Education Commission said it will release two documents before September to guide schools in reducing burdens while improving study efficiency and managing homework. The national guideline requires teachers to focus on class teaching, protecting students’ curiosity, imagination and thirst for knowledge, inspiring their study interest and improving study capacity.
