Changes in the number of college entrance examination students in recent five years
According to the data released by the Ministry of Education, we can see that the number of college entrance examination students in the past five years has decreased first and then increased. Details are as follows:
In 20 19, the number of applicants for the national college entrance examination was 102 1 10,000, which was 300,000 less than that in 20 18, and was the lowest in 10 years.

In 2022, the number of applicants for the national college entrance examination was 1 1.94 million, which was basically the same as that of 2002 1/10,000.
In 2023, the number of applicants for the national college entrance examination was 1 and 29 1 000, an increase of 970,000 over 2022 and a record high.
From these data, we can see that the number of college entrance examination students in recent five years is influenced by many factors, including:
Changes in the birth rate. Due to the adjustment of family planning policy and the development of social economy, the birth rate in China has experienced fluctuations in the past decades. According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, the birth rate in 2000-2006 was relatively low (about 12‰), and these children were the main force to take the college entrance examination in 20 19-2025.
Therefore, during this period, the number of college entrance examination students showed a downward trend. From 2007 to 20 16, the birth rate was relatively high (about 15‰), and these children were the main force to participate in the college entrance examination from 2026 to 2035. Therefore, during this period, it is expected that the number of college entrance examinations will show an upward trend.
Changes in educational policies. In recent years, the Ministry of Education has issued a series of reform measures aimed at improving the quality and fairness of education. For example, the implementation of the new college entrance examination reform program in some provinces has increased students' autonomy in choosing subjects and majors; The implementation of the "One Belt, One Road" special enrollment plan in some areas has expanded the opportunities for students to learn foreign languages, Chinese-foreign cooperation in running schools and other special majors;
The "Sunshine Project" was implemented nationwide, and enrollment information and procedures were made public. These policies are conducive to stimulating students' enthusiasm and confidence in taking the college entrance examination.
Changes in the social environment. Affected by COVID-19 epidemic and other emergencies, great changes have taken place in the social environment in recent two years. On the one hand, epidemic prevention and control has brought new challenges and requirements to the organization and service of college entrance examination; On the other hand, the impact of the epidemic has also brought psychological pressure and trouble to students and parents. Therefore, in such an environment, taking the college entrance examination requires more courage and persistence.
