Father's fear of policy

Zhang Xiaochi, the father of a kindergarten pupil in Dongguan, Guangdong province.

Like many other parents, I support the idea of reducing the excessive academic workload on my son but doubt its effectiveness.

I fear the "less homework" policy for primary and secondary school pupils implemented by the Ministry of Education will turn out to favor the rich, since they have the means to send their children to expensive after-school classes or private schools.
