Education reform pushed forward

China will balance the allocation of resources in urban and rural areas. Educational authorities were told to no longer classify schools as key or non-key institutions, which led to imbalanced resources. Key classes will no longer be allowed. Concerning the college examination system, used to evaluate students over the past 30-plus years, China will consider a multi-evaluation system so schools do not just enroll students based on test performance. As introduced by Liu Limin, vice-minister of education, the final reform plan will be released after collecting public opinion. The reform will be piloted in some provinces from 2014 and expanded in 2017. By 2020, a new testing and recruiting system will be formed and promoted nationwide, according to the plan.
