Specifically, the "three reductions" are: minimizing the number of teenagers and students involved in traffic accidents, injuries, and drowning; reducing the number of teenagers and students involved in drug use in any form; and reducing the number of teenagers and students engaging in bad behavior and violating the law.

"Three increases" refers to strengthening the skills of young people, especially in swimming, life skills, and talents; increasing the organization of summer activities; and strengthening the responsibility of the entire political system for the task of managing and educating young people.
