Project safety, school enrollment among key issues

School enrollment checks

The Ministry of Education warned schools and universities nationwide against enrolling students in violation of regulations in an emergency notice on Friday.

Local authorities must ensure that the exam-free access to nearby primary and secondary schools is universally available for school-age children, the ministry said.

The ministry said the notice was issued after several cases of student enrollment against regulations had been found recently.

It called for high schools to strictly follow the admission procedures and policies, adding that vying for ace students in violation of regulations will not be tolerated. Universities must strengthen regulation of independent enrollment of students with special talents, it added.

The ministry also required intensified efforts to prevent high school students migrating to other provincial areas to sit college entrance exams as well as using illegal means to obtain qualifications for the exam.
