Tracing back to the source, the exam was actually the first in China. Liao Pingsheng, known as the "father of examination" from 1982, proposed the establishment of this subject, but it has only been 27 years.

Liao Pingsheng was the dean of the Examination and Research Institute of Huazhong Normal University. 165438+20061passed away on 9 October at the age of 53. Wang Houxiong is currently the director and professor of examination science in the Examination Research Institute of Central China Normal University, succeeding Liao Pingsheng to preside over the research work in this institute. "As the name implies, examination mainly studies the laws and methods of various examinations." Wang Houxiong said that the propositions, rules and test methods of general education examination, judicial examination, personnel examination and public election of party and government cadres all belong to the research object of this discipline.

From 65438 to 0998, Professor Liao Pingsheng and his team jointly published the first monograph on examination in China, marking the formal establishment of examination as a discipline in China. Since then, many universities in China have opened related disciplines and started enrolling students. The leader of the school once told the media that the publication of Examination shocked the international academic circles and filled the gap in the field of educational examination research in China for many years.
