This research starts from the perspective of work intensification and comprehensively analyzes the manifestations of teacher work intensification in the burden reduction policies for teachers in primary and secondary schools in various provinces and cities in Mainland China. And explore ways to combat the intensive work of teachers, from the perspectives of reducing accountability pressure, weakening expressionism, clarifying the boundaries of internal and external affairs on campus, and clarifying the roles and responsibilities of teachers in the school. On this basis, this research attempts to put forward some suggestions for improving the burden reduction policy for primary and secondary school teachers, hoping to have a clearer understanding of the problem of burden reduction for primary and secondary school teachers.
