A new policy aiming to reducing student stress from school was implemented recently in northwest China’s Shaanxi Province.

　　The new policy said primary schools in the province should not give homework to students in grades one or two, and that students in other grades should spend no more than one hour on home assignment.

　　The policy also says students in grades one and two of junior high school should only spend at most one hour and a half doing homework everyday.

　　The same policies can also be seen in east China’s industrial and business center Shanghai and the province of Zhejiang.
