STARTING tomorrow, 50,000 Shanghai students will appear for a three-day college entrance exam, probably the most important exam of their life.

The students who will be appearing for this year’s exam are the pioneers of Shanghai’s pilot reform scheme, in which students will no longer be divided into science or liberal arts categories. They have to take unified tests in Chinese, math and foreign languages, and choose another three courses based on the requirements of university majors.

Across China, a total of 9.4 million high school students will sit for this year’s exam, also known as the gaokao, the Ministry of Education said.

Since college entrance exam resumed 40 years ago after the end of the Cultural Revolution in 1977, it has always been the pivot of China’s education system.

Shanghai Daily photographer Wang Rongjiang has documented some unforgettable moments of students and their parents at examination venues down the years.
