What is the significance of "breaking the ice" in college entrance examination in different places?

Under the circumstance that the current household registration system has become an obstacle to the process of population citizenization, the off-site college entrance examination, known as the "ice-breaking" move of household registration reform, has taken a more substantial step and is regarded as a progressive performance of education reform. Promoting the college entrance examination in different places is interpreted as the first step to promote education equity in China.

The difficulty of the college entrance examination in different places lies in the objective limitation of the supply capacity of educational resources and the bondage of the current college entrance examination enrollment system. At the same time, the work of increasing college enrollment plans and providing loan services also requires the overall coordination of the competent national ministries and commissions and the coordination of population outflow provinces and cities.

However, there are currently 260 million floating population in China, with 58 million left-behind children and 27 million children moving with them. As long as the problem of college entrance examination in different places is not solved, tens of millions of children will face the dilemma of losing good education, and tens of millions of families will suffer the pain of separation between the two places.

Unequal enrollment standards in any region will lead to "college entrance examination immigrants", especially the extremely unequal enrollment index system at present. "College entrance examination immigrants" flow to big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai except Hainan and Shaanxi.

In essence, the reform of college entrance examination in different places, like the abolition of temporary residence permit and household registration system, is aimed at eliminating regional discrimination, respecting human rights and realizing the fairness of basic education. There will certainly be conflicts and contradictions in the process of realization, but this is the general trend.
