Abstract
The College Entrance Examination is the link between universities and high schools, bearing the burden of defining the direction of quality education reform and challenging the traditional paths of selecting students for colleges and universities. The College Entrance Examination system, which has been in development for 40 years, has condensed China’s special social and institutional culture and affected tens of millions of candidates and parents. Establishing a scientific and fair examination mechanism and improving the methods of enrollment and admission are the key tasks for the reform of the College Entrance Examination.
