ABSTRACT
With the development of
Chinese education, voices of encouragement and criticism both exist in the field
of educational research. The College Entrance Examination (CEE) has been identified
as one of the causes of several contested issues in Chinese education. Reforms to
the CEE have been implemented to address different issues in Chinese education.
Hengshui High School (HHS) is a well-known high school in China, which boasts high
college admission rates. The researchers explored the policies and practices of
HHS to understand its methods for cultivating students. This article aims to examine
the trends of Chinese secondary education reflected in the reform of the CEE in
China and HHS’s shift from test-oriented practices to a focus on comprehensive academic
and personal development of students. This article will provide background information
about the CEE and HHS, and also, it will discuss the trends and changes in the CEE
and in HHS. This article argues that Chinese education is transforming from a test-orientation
to a focus on comprehensive student development. However, this trend has not yet
spread widely throughout China. Recommendations for further research are also provided.
