Liu Xiya (3rd L) seeks suggestions on the implementation of China's "double reduction" policy from representatives of teaching staff at Yucai Middle School in southwest China's Chongqing, Feb 24, 2022.

Liu Xiya, principal of Chongqing Xiejiawan Primary School, keeps her focus on the development of high-quality compulsory education.

Since she became a deputy to the National People's Congress (NPC) in 2013, Liu has made a series of suggestions about education, covering off-campus tutoring and the protection of minors, after she visited schools of different types and collected public opinions from social media.

Liu also pays more attention to the country's "double reduction" policy, which was introduced in July 2021 aiming to ease the burden of excessive homework and off-campus tutoring for young Chinese students.

At China's ongoing annual "two sessions," Liu said during an interview that against the backdrop of the "double reduction" policy, education resources should be better optimized to facilitate students' growth. [Xinhua/Huang Wei]
