New school entry rules emphasize equality

China Daily  

BEIJING - The Education Ministry said Sunday that the proportion of enrolled pupils with special talent will be gradually reduced in admission to junior middle schools. China's nine-year compulsory education system covers primary school and another three years of junior middle school. In reality, however, students who excel in certain subjects or display talents related to maths, music or sports can sometimes obtain entrance to higher-tier middle schools regardless of where they live. "Information about admission to every junior middle school will be made public to ensure students' equal right to education," said the official.
