Education reform would make gaokao only one factor in China.
In June every year, nearly ten million Chinese students take
this national college entrance tests called gaokao to enroll in universities
across the nation, which currently simply ranks them by test scores and gives approximately
six out of ten test takers tickets to enroll in the universities accordingly to
their test scores. The country initiated its testing system over a thousand years
ago to select intelligent government servants and the people seem to have been
very acceptant of the practice. Now they seem to want to review the practice
not to lax the students but to have them focus more on academic achievement
rather than test scores or to give more flexibilities to universities to select
students to stay competitive in the global education market.
Enjoy reading and learning how the testing practice is
reviewed.
