Since 2021, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council have issued the "Opinions on Further Reducing the Burden of Homework and Off-Campus Training on Students at the Compulsory Education Stage", and education departments across the world have responded positively, seeking to cultivate high-quality students who are well-rounded in moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic development and to reverse the traditional criteria for screening talents in which marks are paramount. In terms of curriculum reform and cultivation guidelines, there are different degrees of innovative reforms around the world. This study compares the educational reform achievements of Beijing National Day School and a suburban high school in Shandong Province. Through structured observation, semi-structured interviews, data review and other investigative methods, this study analyzes the similarities and differences of the teaching and learning reforms of the different schools and the causes behind them, and provides suggestions and countermeasures for the future system formulation of relevant education departments and the education of teachers, students and parents.
