On 20 17, the Ministry of Education and other four departments issued the Plan for Popularizing Senior High School Education (20 17-2020), proposing to popularize senior high school education throughout the country by 2020. But universality, obligation and free are three different concepts. Popularizing high school education focuses on solving the problem of learning, not bringing high school education into compulsory education or implementing free education.
In response to the news that the senior high school entrance examination will be cancelled, the relevant person in charge clearly stated that it was not true. According to the overall arrangement of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on deepening the reform of the examination enrollment system, the Ministry of Education promulgated the Guiding Opinions on Further Promoting the Reform of the Examination Enrollment System in Senior High Schools on 20 16. We have always stressed that the implementation of the junior high school level examination in this reform is not to cancel the senior high school entrance examination, but to combine the junior high school graduation examination and the senior high school entrance examination into one, so as to realize multi-purpose of one examination, avoid multiple examinations, and reduce the burden and pressure of students preparing for exams repeatedly.
