Seventy Years of Institutional Changes of the National College Entrance Examination in People's Republic of China: Review and Prospect

As an important educational examination system, the National College Entrance Examination is committed to selecting qualified freshmen for higher level schools, and also carries the social functions of integrating education and teaching system, maintaining social fairness and justice, promoting social mobility and maintaining stability and unity of multi-ethnic countries. The National College Entrance Examination system is deeply influenced by history and cultural tradition, economic and social structure, and the relationship between humans and resources and environment. The internal adjustments of subjects and contents, forms and propositions, enrollment and admission cannot meet the needs of the development of economic and technological fission. Given this situation, we need to take measures including smoothing channels of expression, adhering to gradual reform, strengthening internal and external linkage, and integrating multiple demands to respond to people's diversified educational demands on the National College Entrance Examination.
