The upcoming 2024 Gaokao, China's highly competitive national college entrance examination, is set to proceed smoothly and fairly, thanks to the dedicated efforts of Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang.
As a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, Ding emphasized the importance of meticulous preparation and responsibility to maintain the exam's integrity. On Sunday, he visited a Beijing middle school exam site to oversee the arrangements firsthand.
During his inspection, Ding reviewed the exam room setups, waiting-for-exam management protocols, and related support services. His engagement included discussions with staff members responsible for monitoring, broadcasting, and managing the exam environment, ensuring that every aspect meets the highest standards.
The Gaokao, which typically begins on June 7 each year, plays a pivotal role in shaping the educational and professional futures of millions of Chinese students. By prioritizing a fair and efficient examination process, the Chinese mainland aims to uphold the values of meritocracy and equal opportunity in education.
Ding's visit underscores the government's commitment to providing a stable and just framework for one of the most significant academic milestones in the lives of young global citizens across China.
