The Ministry of Education did not announce the cancellation of the senior high school entrance examination, but some CPPCC members suggested canceling the senior high school entrance examination, truly pointing the baton of education to quality education, implementing the enrollment of ordinary high schools nearby, gradually narrowing the gap between regions, urban and rural areas and schools, and coordinating the balanced allocation of compulsory education resources in urban and rural areas.
It is not true that the central government announced the cancellation of the senior high school entrance examination in 2022. The Ministry of Education once said that China's current national conditions do not have the conditions to include senior high schools in compulsory education. In April 2022, the General Office of the Ministry of Education issued the Notice on Doing a Good Job in the Proposition of the 2022 Senior High School Entrance Examination, proposing to actively promote the provincial unified proposition.
Provinces that have not yet implemented the provincial unified proposition should actively create conditions, strive to achieve the provincial unified proposition in 2022, and ensure the quality of the proposition. Provinces that do not have the conditions should study and put forward a work plan to accelerate the provincial unified proposition, clarify the timetable and road map, and realize the provincial unified proposition of the senior high school entrance examination by 2024.
For more than a year, we have been talking about adjusting the admission rate of senior high school entrance examination, but this policy is only a suggestion given by the Ministry of Education to local education, and it has not been enforced in all provinces and cities, that is to say, only some areas have adjusted the ratio of senior high school entrance examination to 5: 5.
In other provinces and cities, the ratio of senior high school entrance examination to general vocational education is between 60% and 70%. Although it has not reached half of the admission rate of senior high schools and vocational high schools, today's senior high school entrance examination still determines whether students can enter senior high schools smoothly.
It is said that getting into high school means getting into a halfway university, and if you want to get into a university, you must first get into high school. The importance of the natural senior high school entrance examination is self-evident, and what students have to do is to study hard.
