Abstract

The College Entrance Examination is the exam for entry to a university in China. With time's development, the College Entrance Examination policies have been gradually reformed. However, a series of policy reforms have resulted in the creation of social inequities. This article examines how the College Entrance Examination policy has produced social inequality in the eastern coastal region of China and compares the before and after of the College Entrance Examination reform. This essay was conducted by interviewing a student in China who had experienced the college entrance examination reform and a student who had experienced the College Entrance Examination without the reform policy. It is concluded that the new reform of the college entrance examination policy will exacerbate the creation of social inequities.
