Besides the national university entrance exam, the proposal said,universities should hold their own exams and interviews before applicants are enrolled.
The proposal stressed that the students should have greater rights to choose universities because they pay for their university education and find jobs all by their own upon graduation.
The national university entrance exam is important because it is the only chance for most high school graduates to have access to higher education.
Chinese universities stopped enrolling students during the Cultural Revolution from 1966 to 1976, and resumed the exam in 1977. Since then, 36 million people have matriculated. However, the exam has been branded "unscientific" as it relies solely on written testing with no evaluation of overall capability. Critics say it has led to China''s test-oriented education system and should be abolished.
