It’s not the fairest system if it forces the children of migrant workers to travel 1000’s of miles back to their registered home district to take the exam.
But change is slowly coming:http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2016-06/07/c_135419765.htm
This is best illustrated by gaokao rules, as currently, most offspring of China’s 200 million migrant workers must return to their parents’ hometowns to sit the make-or-break test.
On Tuesday, 9.4 million students sat the gaokao, and of that number almost 10,000 had been saved from making the arduous journey back to the countryside.
Guangdong Province in south China was chosen to pilot the gaokao reform program, which allowed the offspring of migrant workers to finally sit the exam alongside their urban peers, providing their parents met certain requirements.
Hopefully next year ALL students will be offered the same opportunity.
