On October 31, a netizen shared a work reminder issued by the Donghai County Education Bureau in Jiangsu Province, requiring schools to strictly adjust their schedules, control evening self-study hours, and regulate holiday arrangements. Except for the third year of high school, schools must strictly implement two-day weekends.

The news sparked discussions among students and parents, with some Jiangsu netizens claiming that similar measures are often abandoned as soon as the inspection teams leave.
