Why is the college entrance examination postponed for one month?
In 2020, the number of people enrolled in the national college entrance examination will be 10.71 million.

At present, the spread of the domestic epidemic has been basically blocked, but the risk of sporadic cases and local outbreaks still exists. The overseas epidemic situation is accelerating to spread and spread, and the pressure on China's epidemic input continues to increase. Health and epidemic prevention experts believe that the college entrance examination is postponed for one month, and the risk of epidemic prevention and control is relatively small. The college entrance examination is a large-scale selective examination involving tens of millions of candidates. We must adhere to health first, adopt the most secure and least risky program, and effectively protect the life safety and physical health of the majority of candidates and staff involved.
The second is to adhere to "fairness first." Effectively minimize the impact of the epidemic on candidates, especially those in rural and poor areas. After the outbreak, local schools were postponed to start schooling and senior high school students were arranged to study at home. Students' review preparations were generally affected, especially due to differences in urban and rural online learning conditions. The review preparations of some rural and poor areas students were more affected. The basic value orientation of the college entrance examination It is to ensure fairness and justice. The extension of the college entrance examination will be held for one month, so that candidates can have a little more time to concentrate on studying at the school according to the teaching plan, so as to maximize the protection of education equity.
