Abstract: “double reduction” is the hot issue of recent educational governance, and the policy mainly targets to after-school training institutions. On the premise that the state is still the political representative and shoulders the responsibility for both the country and its citizens, the people need an enabling government to regulate the disordered after-school training market. An effective market thus reconstructed under the guidance of the enabling government focuses on supply side reform, and bear the following principles: first, non-profit nature we should stick to, that is, the new market should never just pursue profit; second, a transformation of education service units from families to schools we should explore, that is, a redistribution of educational resources through purchasing services through schools (bridges) we should carry out, to alleviate the competitive pressure and ensure the high-quality and balanced development of basic education; third, a participation in the supply by classification and stages we should adopt, to change the situation of the existing market’s being dominated by family oriented discipline training, and encourage the transformation of these training institutions towards the later stage of basic education, and vigorously cultivate parent schools, quality education, after-school trusteeship, vocational education and lifelong education. Under the guidance of the government, after-school training will eventually form a market with subdivided fields, subdivided objects, subdivided stages and orderly access, so as to meet the people’s growing demand for high-quality education.

Key words: double reduction, after-school training, education policy, educational goverhance, the enabling government, an effective market
