Enhanced measures put in place to help students attending gaokao

Local departments across China have rolled out a series of support measures for the upcoming national college entrance exam, or gaokao, which will take place from Saturday to Tuesday.

According to the Ministry of Education, local education departments and admissions and exam institutions have been instructed to enhance services and offer comprehensive support for gaokao candidates. The measures cover areas such as public security, transportation, accommodation and meals, medical and health care and noise control.

Many cities have postponed performances and entertainment events originally scheduled during the exam period to create a quiet and comfortable environment for the candidates preparing for gaokao.
