Rural student numbers on the increase
Print Edition
Chinese colleges and universities admitted 100,000 students from rural and underdeveloped areas in 2017, a 9.3 percent increase from 2016, according to the Ministry of Education.
China has implemented favorable college entrance policies, including enrollment programs at national, regional and university level, to enable more students from rural and poor areas to go to university.
In the national program, the requirements to be accepted at key colleges and universities, those affiliated to central ministries and provincial governments, have been lowered for students from poor counties.
The regional program helps students receive higher quality education in their own provinces and regions, while outstanding high school graduates from rural areas can be admitted to top-level universities under the ministry through the university-level program.
This year, nearly 64,000 students from poverty-stricken counties were enrolled in universities thanks to assistance from the national program.
The regional program admitted 16.2 percent more rural students than in 2016 and an additional 9,500 exceptional rural students were accepted through the university-level program.
Last year, Chinese higher education institutions admitted 7.48 million students.
