10月28日，浙江省教育廳發布《浙江省中小學生減負工作實施方案（征求意見稿）》，面向社會公眾公開征求意見。

Fourteen departments in Zhe-jiang recently introduced the guideline which contains 33 detailed measures aimed at schools, after-school training institutions, parents and education authorities to help reduce students' academic burden.
該方案由浙江14個部門聯合起草，針對學校、課外培訓機構、家長及教育管理部門列出33項具體舉措，幫助學生減負。

The guideline allows primary school students to leave their homework unfinished after 9 pm, and middle school students at 10 pm, with parents' approval.
方案明確，在家長同意的情況下，小學生晚9點、初中生晚10點后可以不做作業。

對于這一條規定，網友們反應不一。

While no parents want to see their children yawning while overwhelmed with homework, many worry that if schools reduce homework assignments, make tests easier and downgrade the importance of scores, it is the parents who must provide their children with more extracurricular learning to help them stand out from their peers. This is because the all-important national college entrance examination, or gaokao, is not going away anytime soon.
雖說沒有家長愿意看到自己的孩子熬夜趕作業，但是很多家長也擔心，如果學校減少作業，降低考試難度以及分數的重要性，家長就得通過課外補習來幫助孩子在競爭中脫穎而出。因為最重要的高考在短期內是不可能取消的。
