1In February, 1999, the Ministry of Education issued the Opinions on Further Deepening the Reform of Enrollment System in Colleges and Universities, and decided to try out the "3+X" college entrance examination model in Guangdong Province, which opened the prelude to a new round of college entrance examination reform, thus making the college entrance examination reform once again a hot topic of general concern in education and even the whole society.
In 2005, all the subjects of college entrance examination in all provinces and cities in China adopted the new curriculum, and the mode of college entrance examination will not change much except some provinces and cities may make some fine adjustments (for example, the mode of college entrance examination in Guangxi in 2005 was changed to "3+ small comprehensive" mode).
