Abstract：Providing high-quality after-school services is an important measure to achieve the goal of “double reduction” and an important livelihood project to “follow public opinion and warm people's hearts”. Based on a survey of 11139 students from 64 primary and secondary schools in 7 provinces across the country， this study investigates the quality of after-school services and its impact on the academic burden of students. The results show that： firstly， the higher the quality of after-school services， the better is the effect of reducing the burden on primary and secondary school students； secondly， improving the quality of after-school services is more effective in alleviating academic pressure for urban students， and there is no significant difference between its impact on primary and junior high school students； thirdly， psychological resilience and homework pressure play a mediating role between the quality of after-school services and the academic burden of primary and secondary school students. Improving the quality of after-school services can significantly enhance the psychological resilience of primary and secondary school students， alleviate their homework pressure， and collectively reduce academic burden. Therefore， it is necessary to establish evaluation standards for the quality of after-school services in primary and secondary schools， and to carry out third-party comprehensive assessments； create a collaborative mechanism to guarantee resource for after-school services， and establish a “supply station” to fund after-school services； improve management and quality supervision platforms to ensure the effectiveness of after-school services in reducing academic burden.
