Universities will look beyond a student’s academic achievements to include moral and social efforts under new entrance guidelines announced on Monday, writes Liang Qiwen for China Daily. The Ministry of Education said results from the annual national college entrance examination would not be the sole criteria when assessing prospective university students.
Dai Jiagan, director of the Ministry of Education's examination centre, said students would have to undertake an overall scholastic assessment, and a comprehensive evaluation of other factors including their moral outlook, sport capabilities and social work.
Dai did not reveal when the new guidelines would be rolled out across the country, but said that provinces and cities that joined the curriculum reform program would be the first to introduce the new system. So far, 11 provinces and cities, including Guangdong and Shanghai, have joined the curriculum reform. Beijing will join next year.
