Entrance exam 鈥榤igrants鈥 targeted
Print Edition
THE government is cracking down on people who lie about where they live to improve their chances of getting into college, the Ministry of Education said yesterday.
The college entrance exam, held in early June, is the sole entrance criteria for most colleges and is widely considered the key to upward social mobility.
Under Chinese law, candidates must take the college entrance exams where their hukou, or permanent residence, is registered, because students from regions less developed, or with a smaller population, can enjoy a lower threshold to qualify for contested slots.
Some students falsify their hukou to qualify for exams in regions with easier access to colleges, or register in those regions through illegal means. Such people have been dubbed “college entrance exam migrants.”
According to a circular issued by the ministries of education and public security, these “migrants” and whoever engages in or covers up these practices will be severely punished. Those suspected of the crime will be subject to judicial investigation.
State employees whose children are “college entrance exam migrants” also face punishment and their cases will be publicized, according to the circular.
