The study believes that: firstly, the value orientation of education equity of the "double-reduction" policy should be well recognized. The introduction of this policy results from the timely judgment of the Communist Party of China and the country on the fairness of our compulsory education and the precise insights of the unfair dilemma of education stratification issue in west countries, aiming to respond to the people's need, return to the original intention of education, and promote and achieve more education reform results with more equity to benefit all people.
