Hubei Province and Beijing Municipality may, according to the situation of epidemic prevention and control, study and put forward opinions on the time arrangement of college entrance examination in their own regions, and release them to the public in time after approval by the Ministry of Education.
According to Wang Hui, director of the Department of College Students of the Ministry of Education, the extension of the college entrance examination mainly considers two aspects:
First, adhere to health first to ensure the safety of the majority of candidates and candidates. The college entrance examination will be postponed for one month, and the risk of epidemic prevention and control is relatively small. The college entrance examination is a large-scale selective examination involving tens of millions of candidates, and the safest and least risky scheme must be adopted to ensure the life safety of the majority of candidates and the staff participating in the examination.
The second is to adhere to fair interests. Due to the differences in learning conditions between urban and rural areas, preparation for exams in some rural and poor areas is more affected. Postponement of the college entrance examination can give candidates more time to concentrate on their studies at school and ensure the fairness of education to the greatest extent.
