What does involution in education mean?

"Education involution" refers to the continuous increase of teaching labor input within the education system to achieve performance growth, but the teaching efficiency and results have not been significantly improved. In short, "involution" is disorderly, meaningless, worthless and chaotic competition. This kind of competition is extremely utilitarian, which invisibly adds a lot of pressure to the contestants.

This phenomenon of "involution in education" stems from the close relationship between excessive and disorderly educational competition among provinces, cities, schools, grades and classes. As one of the main battlefields of this involution phenomenon, "parent group" has become a tool for teachers to assign "tasks" to parents.

Sadly, everyone knows that this phenomenon is not good for anyone, and everyone is struggling from it. Even some parents make irrational withdrawal from the parent group, and no matter how hard they struggle, they can't get out of the competitive pressure of "involution".
