Significance of National College Entrance Examination Reform

What is the significance of the college entrance examination? Where is the reform of college entrance examination going?

With the development of social economy, the ways and means of personal success are increasingly diversified. Today's college entrance examination is no longer a single-plank bridge, but we must clearly realize that the college entrance examination is still an important way for the country to select talents and get through the upward mobility of society. However, in China's college entrance examination and college enrollment, there are still phenomena such as "score-only theory", "one exam will lead to life", "excessive extra points" and "college entrance examination immigrants". A large number of dream factories for college entrance examination, such as Blanket Factory Middle School and Hengshui Middle School, came into being, which not only increased students' academic burden and parents' economic burden, but also made it difficult for them to give birth to expensive children.

Fairness is the balance of maintaining social stability, the main theme of deepening education reform, and the "touchstone" of testing the reform of college entrance examination. Looking back on the 40-year college entrance examination reform, a remarkable feature is to serve candidates and let them compete in a fairer environment. Its specific performance is to delegate power to candidates and give them more autonomy.

It mainly includes the following aspects: First, the college entrance examination subjects have been adjusted, and the students' right to choose the examination subjects has been expanded. 20 14 The subject reform is considered as the biggest "bright spot" in the new college entrance examination reform. The subjects of college entrance examination were adjusted to 3+"6 choose 3" or 3+"7 choose 3", and the division of arts and sciences was abolished, which greatly expanded students' choice of subjects, followed by teaching reform and management reform to meet the requirements of students' choice of subjects and courses. The second is to cancel unreasonable restrictions and expand students' right to apply for exams. With the development of society, China has abolished the age limit and marriage limit of college entrance examination one after another, allowing candidates to apply for the exam again, especially in order to adapt to the current situation of China's floating population and give eligible children of floating population equal learning opportunities and rights. The third is to increase the right of candidates to choose exams and schools. In terms of exam selection, the new college entrance examination reform is clear, some subjects (such as foreign languages) will be tested again, the best scores will be included in the total score of the college entrance examination, and the academic college entrance examination and the skill-based college entrance examination will be classified, which not only makes the exam evaluation more scientific and accurate, but also expands the scope of students' choices. In terms of the right to choose schools, the state allows some colleges and universities to enroll students independently according to their own specialties and personality after the college entrance examination. At the same time, the new college entrance examination reform cancels the "three books", merges admission batches, and implements professional parallel volunteer or college professional grouping volunteering, which not only promotes equal competition in colleges and universities, expands students' choice space, but also allows students to pay more attention to their interested majors and combine their interests with the choice of colleges and majors.

In addition, in recent years, in order to create a better fair environment for college entrance examination enrollment, our country will further expand the scope of the "one volume" of college entrance examination, reduce the bonus points, tilt towards the countryside, coordinate the enrollment ratio, separate the examination and enrollment, and further expand the right of independent enrollment in colleges and universities, which will certainly promote educational equity to the maximum extent.

Education is a project that benefits people's livelihood, and the college entrance examination is a major event of national concern. It involves thousands of families and the nerves of every candidate and parent, so it needs to be cautious. Let's keep a close eye on fairness, adhere to justice, and go better, more stable and further in the wave of college entrance examination reform.
