Why is the college entrance examination reform piloted in Shanghai and Zhejiang?
1. Since the reform of senior high school entrance examination started more than three years ago, many regions have submitted the design scheme of senior high school entrance examination reform to the education authorities. It is of great significance that Shanghai and Zhejiang were finally selected as the first batch of pilots. The rapid development of basic education and the relative alleviation of the shortage of higher education resources in the two places provide conditions for the pilot.

2. According to the statistical data over the years, it can be found that Shanghai and Zhejiang are in the forefront in the process of higher education popularization in most parts of the country. Last year, the gross enrollment rate of higher education in Shanghai reached 70%. In the PISA test of OECD, Shanghai ranked first in the world twice in a row. "This means that knowledge transfer is no longer a problem in the field of basic education in Shanghai." The relevant person in charge of Shanghai's education department said: "Last year, the balance of basic education in Shanghai took the lead in passing the national assessment, which was regarded by the outside world as a sign that Shanghai's education was' out of the food and clothing level'. "

3. In Zhejiang Province, which is also a pilot area, the gross enrollment rate of higher education ranks first in all provinces and regions in China for many years, accounting for nearly 50% in 20 12. In recent years, the quality of basic education in Zhejiang has also risen sharply, forming a diversified development model including private education and Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools. At present, Zhejiang Province has formed higher education centers such as Hangzhou, Ningbo and Wenzhou. The reform of Zhejiang in the basic education stage also makes this pilot a natural thing. According to the relevant person in charge of the Education Department of Zhejiang Province, Zhejiang has fully implemented the teaching of students' course selection and shift system in ordinary senior high schools, which has provided a foundation for this reform to promote students and colleges to independently choose examination subjects and implement the idea of combining the compulsory subjects of the college entrance examination with the selected subjects.
