10.8 million high school graduates across China have taken the country’s notoriously challenging college entrance exam, known as the gaokao. This year, the test has come with extra stress: staying healthy during the coronavirus pandemic. With a recent surge in Covid-19 cases in China’s southern Guangdong province, education authorities required all examinees to monitor their health for 14 days before the assessment. The examination started on June 7, 2021, covering Chinese, mathematics and English, as well as liberal arts or science electives.

I was in this exam 20 years ago. I appreciated having an opportunity of receiving top education when I had no background, no family wealth or social connections. All we got were our scores, for which we worked every day from 8 am to 9 pm for several years. Gaokao is not a perfect system, but it definitely was the way out for children of the poor and possibly the fairest chance to change your life.

[@specialtwice4975]

Question, so let's say a poor student from the country side got top scores and could enter the top universities, does this mean the university schooling is completely paid for? Is it free for the students who do well? Or do the poor still have to pay and go into debt? (Take out loans)

[@sen431]

@@specialtwice4975 ofcourse you will have to pay depending if u get a scholarship from your respective uni or you take student loan. Gaokao just means everyone has a equal chance to apply for a uni of their choice

[@mysteriousk3505]

@@specialtwice4975 You still have to pay for the tuition fee but it's extremely economical compared to the universities in the US, UK or Australia. In my days, it was about 6000 Yuan RMB for a year, equivalent to 800 US dollars. Back then, some families in China still could not afford this but there were national student loan program, which charged basically no interest and you can pay it back after you graduate, normally within 2-3 years when you have a job, because a common college graduate would make about 2000 Yuan RMB every month (in 2005). For special occasions like minority students from Xinjiang, Tibet or Inner Mongolia, etc. there were extra allowances to guarantee that they could live well and finish with the courses. I got some college buddies from Xinjiang 20 years ago and they were mostly supported by these programs, which indicated how ridiculous and shameless those lies made up by CIA are. Truth: every false accusation the US made up about China must be what they have done a thousand times in history.

We were asked to buy thermometers to monitor our temperature all the time, our monthly home visit was canceled, so my parents would come to visit me every two weeks despite me telling them not to for their safety. we would talk over the school fence cos they were bot allowed to get in and they just handed me the food and money through the fence. Whenever I called my parents over the phone, I would talk with the speaker 20 cm away from my face cos it was public phones. I managed to get into one of the best university despite all that.

1:55 Look at the amount of paper and book. Is Gaokao an open-book test or it was paper question??

[@bassacaglia9434]

This was just showing the students in their normal classroom haha. Often times they have a lot of books piled on their desks

[@figb8398]

Of course not. It's just how the students usually study🤣. gaokao does not allow any extra things to enter the examination room. The whole country starts at the same time (regardless of the time difference). The examination papers are state secrets until the beginning of the examination. All the examination rooms will block the nearby roads, block all electronic signals, and all the police will be on standby. It's not perfect, but it's the fairest test in china

[@encoreartz1028]

My only question is why a exam have to be that hard that it's called one of the toughest in the world. Exams shouldn't be that streefull I think.

[@Mona-fv1yw]

I think because the population? The competition is very severe in China. And then the culture, Asia people take studying very important. But I agree with you, shouldn’t put so much stress on students and kids.

The dad who said he won't ask his son how he did is what my dad is like. Since I was young, no matter what subject it was, he never asked me how it went except only once we meet after I am done giving my exams. If I say I did well, he smiles, if I say I did bad, he would be like, its okay concentrate on your next subject. That way I was always less stressed if my exams went bad. He rather always asked me to study well before the exams. To study very hard. So that I didn't have to worry after the exams are done 😅

[@anuradhapriyankara5226]

We have a similarly competitive exam in Sri Lanka to enter university. Since education is free from primary to university education, there is a huge competition to get entered into best universities. I sat for the exam about 6 years ago and came up with great results to enter university I wished. For me it was a life changing experience. I feel the same ambitions from these students and parents.

[@tic857]

It warms my heart to see parents so actively value education. But then again most students have been tiger parented up until this point.

[@johnlemuelm.santiago6036]

Just abolish gaokao and just let every university and colleages have there own entrance exam like here in the Philippines when the student would choose where they want to study if they past the exam from the University or colleges they choose they can enroll no need of gaokao

If you read 'life-changing', it truly is. All students from any social class are eligible to join gaokao. So even though you are from very poor family, you still have bright future if you pass the exam with great scores. That's why education is still the top priority for Chinese people.
