"The National College Entrance Examination will be postponed for a month to July 7 and8 due to the novel coronavirus outbreak, "the Ministry of Education said.
Wang Hui, director of the ministry's Department of College Students Affairs, said the postponement is mainly to ensure students 'safety and the fairness of the exam. More than 10. 7million students have signed up to participate in this year's Gaokao, up by 400, 000 from last year, Wang said at a news conference.
"Gaokao concerns tens of millions of students, and the ministry must adopt the most cautious plan with the least amount of risk to protect their safety as well as that of the teachers."
Although senior high school students took online courses during the epidemic, many rural students who lacked Internet access felt disadvantaged, so the delay is to ensure they will have more time to prepare for the exam at school, he said.
Chinese people often compare the highly competitive exam to" crossing a narrow bridge", since for many students, especially those from rural areas, enrollment at a good university is a difficult but worthwhile challenge that could shape their future.
