There are still about two months to go before the high school entrance examination, and as the first year after the reform of the new high school entrance examination, the 2024 high school entrance examination will usher in a series of major changes, which will directly affect the academic planning and future development of each student.
Many provinces implement a unified proposition
In the past few decades, the mainland high school entrance examination has been independently proposed, resulting in great differences in the quality of test questions and scoring standards, which has affected the fairness and selection effect of the examination to a certain extent. In order to solve this problem, the mainland education department decided to implement the provincial unified proposition, through the unified proposition, can ensure that all candidates compete under the same examination conditions, can more accurately assess the true level of candidates, so that every child has the opportunity to show their talents, and can improve the fairness and impartiality of the high school entrance examination.
At present, the provinces that have been determined to realize the independent proposition are: Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Chongqing, Henan, Hebei, Anhui, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Qinghai, Yunnan, Xinjiang, Tibet, Hainan, Guizhou, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Hunan, Hubei, and Liaoning. Other provinces, such as Heilongjiang, Sichuan, and Shandong, have also taken corresponding actions, which are expected to be officially implemented in 2026.
Of course, no matter what, we can't change the fact that the unified questions in the province of the high school entrance examination will not change the children's competitors and competition methods, because the opponents of the competition remain the same, the admission method remains the same, and whether the child can be admitted to a key high school still depends on the child's ranking in the examination area. So, strength is everything.
Indicators to the school
The quota of the quota in the plan of high-quality public ordinary high schools and private ordinary high schools in various provinces and municipalities will be reasonably allocated to junior high schools in the region according to the number of junior high school students in the local area, the level of running the school, the results of the school's physical education examinations, etc., and the full number of students will be admitted according to the indicators.
This policy is another innovative move in the reform of the high school entrance examination system, aiming to rely on a more scientific and reasonable distribution model, so that children can have more opportunities to enter key high schools, especially for students with relatively poor educational resources, the competition can be narrowed from the city to the school, which is more fair, and the pressure on students and parents is also much less. Of course, there are certain conditions for this policy, first of all, it must be a public school, and private schools do not enjoy the treatment of this policy, and secondly, the student's school registration and household registration must be consistent with the examination school.
In addition, the arrival of indicators does not mean that everyone can go straight to high school, but to integrate the children's grades and other comprehensive inspections must meet the basic requirements stipulated by senior high schools, otherwise they still cannot be promoted to high school. Therefore, children and parents must not relax, still maintain good grades, strive for better grades and rankings in school, and maintain stable grades.
The overall difficulty of the high school entrance examination will show a downward trend
Although the proposition is unified in all provinces, in terms of the difficulty of the test papers, the Ministry of Education said that it is strictly forbidden to use the content of high school courses, subject competition questions and extracurricular training as the content of the test, and reduce the scope of the test content, while strengthening the political review of the test questions in subjects such as language, ethics and the rule of law.
In addition, all localities must follow the provisions of the course standards to produce questions, scientifically and reasonably set the difficulty of the test papers, and must not exceed the standard propositions and arbitrarily expand or reduce the scope of the test content, and it is strictly forbidden to use the content of high school courses, subject competition questions, and off-campus training as the content of the test. In addition, according to the characteristics of different disciplines, it is necessary to rationally set up the structure of test papers and questions, reduce memorization test questions, increase exploratory, open-ended, and comprehensive test questions, resolutely prevent deviations from the questions, and promote the effective examination of students' comprehensive quality.
It is not difficult to see from the main points that the difficulty of the high school entrance examination in 2024 may show a downward trend as a whole. The test questions will be more practical, and it is not advisable to mechanically brush the questions, set template calculations, rote memorization, etc., which also suggests that children should pay more attention to returning to the textbook when preparing for the exam, consciously carry out the training of thinking ability, and also apply the knowledge they have learned, draw inferences from one another, so as to strengthen their in-depth understanding of knowledge and concepts.
Final words to say:
The reform of the high school entrance examination is a crucial topic, and parents must pay close attention to the latest developments in the reform of the high school entrance examination, deeply understand the changes and trends of the policy, and give their children emotional and spiritual support and encouragement. In addition, as a child, according to their actual situation, while keeping up with the school's review progress, conscientiously completing homework and exercises, they should pay attention to the combing and induction of basic knowledge, strengthen their weak links, and maintain a good work and rest and state.
Of course, although the high school entrance examination is important, it is not the whole of our life, no matter what the result is, we should maintain a positive attitude and bravely face the challenges and opportunities in the future. Even if you can't get into high school, it's not a big deal, and if you choose a middle career, you still have a future. In fact, through the vocational education college entrance examination, secondary vocational students can also be admitted to undergraduate or even graduate school to realize their academic dreams. Moreover, secondary vocational education has a unique advantage in cultivating skilled talents, and with the development and progress of society, the demand for skilled talents is also increasing, so the development space of secondary vocational education is also very large.
In short, whether you choose high school or secondary vocational school, in the final preparation time, I hope that the children can go all out!
