Since 7 june 2026, the national baccalaureate has been held on schedule, and a number of topics, such as the `students for the baccalaureate', `mathematics for the baccalaureate', have been on the top of the list of social platforms, attracting wide interest and discussion。
At the entrance examination, the candidates are prepared to write a book; outside the examination, parents, teachers and all sectors of society are protected. Internet users have shared their experience of high-level examinations, offered their best wishes, and held discussions around the difficulty of the papers, the change in the profile, and so on。
The entrance examination is not just an examination, but also carries the expectations of countless families, reflecting the interest of society in education and growth。
I'm concerned about the new changes in the entrance exam
On 7 june, at 11. 30 a. M., the first language of the baccalaureate fell on time. Many of the journalists who had already been waiting for outside the school of jenan secondary school (the iron school district) in shandong province welcomed the first candidate who had left the examination on the same day。
In recent years, “crowding” of students outside the examination has become an option for a number of journalists and self-censorships. There is concern about whether there has been any new change in the examination year after year, behind which is the general concern of society about educational change。
The changes in advanced examination reflect the idea of national talent development。
Take math, for example. The ministry of education's school of education and examinations has explained that in 2026, the mathematics baccalaureate was strengthened to guide students in the construction of a systematic and structured mathematical knowledge system; that it was designed to optimize the structure of the papers; that it was designed in innovative situations; and that it encouraged multi-pathological exploration and validation by opening questions to focus on the students' mental qualities and core qualities, with a view to strengthening the process of thinking。
The daily people's journal is concerned that the 7th volume of the national journal of mathematics for the high examination, in the context of the 108th tower of the city of the bronze gorge in the autonomous region of ningxia, has created an exploratory new scene based on the numerical characteristics of the number of row towers and the total towers, and that the 15th volume of the national journal of mathematics has introduced a realistic scenario by giving a graph of the time when the electronic products first failed, allowing students to observe, analyse, and validate the thinking process
“openness and exploratory questions require students to develop assumptions, validate conclusions, increase mental intensity and differentiate test questions, both to measure the true level of students at different levels and to select talent with the potential for continuous learning and innovation.” if so, the head of the education examinations institute of the ministry of education。
The language test for this year's high examination also focused on thinking skills. A national volume reading in the language of advanced examinations requires candidates to complete the required renewal on the basis of reading and understanding of literary texts。
According to the daily newspaper client, this is a novelty but also a continuation of training methods common in language learning. At the same time, it completed an examination of the ability of candidates to read and express literature, which resulted in the introduction of two modules on reading and using language and text, making the design of the mission more integrated。
Let's work together for the candidates
"to our third-grader flag, horse-to-man, gold-list name, come on!"
Early that day, 7 june, xinhua client video was full of lights in the school building of the women's high school in huabong, liang city, yunnan province. Headmaster zhang gui mei took up a “mind horn” that had been in use for many years and sent blessing and advice to graduates who were about to come to the examination. At 6. 45 a. M., the senior girls from this year's high school are ready to leave. Zhang gui-mei and his classmates sing "manjia" and cheer up. Principal zhang gui mei is known to have insisted on taking her examination in person every year since she first took the examination in 2011, which is the sixteenth time this year。
A similar screening takes place throughout the country every june。
Beijing radio and television's “beijing time” client pointed the camera at the examination convoy of anhui's secondary school at maurtan. As the vehicles slowly moved out of the campus, the road was crowded with parents and students who were waving their hands and shouted “gyro cai” and were gathering in large numbers。
In addition, according to media reports from the china news network, the chinese youth newspaper, sichuan watch and wuhan radio and television, many places such as sichuan namjiang, hubei xinjiang and liaoningdong port have seen hot spots for thousands of people to take their exams。
In 2026, a total of 12. 9 million students across the country were enrolled in advanced examinations. For students, the baccalaureate is a life test; for society, it is a journey for all。
According to the news report, 150,000 full-time kyodong riders joined the mobile escort this year in the senior examination. They were stationed outside the site in 52 cities throughout the country, provided with stationery, summer medicine and a promise to travel silently around the site。
Xinhua clients reported that during the examination process, all sectors of society were making every effort to strengthen the comprehensive security of services, such as security, travel, accommodation, etc., and actively to create a safe, comfortable and warm environment for the examination. For example, the guangdong multi-sectoral multi-sectoral tweeting network, which conducts full-scope screening of the examination canteens, the surrounding catering units and the central residential accommodations involved in the examination, and arranges for the on-site presence of first aid workers at the various points of examination, with the provision of preventive materials and commonly used medicines。
I'm still moved by the test
“did you get out of that summer, the 23rd class seniors,” “i went to the high school in 2016, and so much detail has been going on so far” and “for 11 years i've been dreaming about high school” ... On twitter, the phrase created by the people's daily, “or will it be moved by high school”, attracted millions of attention. It is well-known that “no matter how long you graduate, every year of the high school year will still be in the mood”。
For the chinese public, the term “high examination” is a common memory in many minds. On social media platforms, before and after a high examination, people share their own examination experience. Some of them are freshmen who have just entered university, others who have been on the entrance exam for 10 years or decades。
“i don't even remember the stress of the exams, the content of the exams, much less the struggles of those years, the endless questions. The time has come for the highest level of education in this life, which is now obscured by the knowledge of the world of geography. “kk, a member of the internet, recalled that he had taken a high examination in 2008 and that, “when he looked back many years later, the high examination was not by itself the most profound part of his memory, but the youth that he devoted himself to.”
Perhaps for many, the examination has already surpassed an examination itself. In addition to remembering youth, people are paying tribute to themselves for their hard work。
The china news network commented that the revival of the high school in 1977 had rekindled the culture of an era of respect for knowledge and commitment by society as a whole. More than a decade of hard reading carries not only the expectations of a family, but also the deep-rooted belief of the chinese that knowledge changes destiny and struggles to achieve the future。
According to the beijing daily news clients, under the inclusive and open education system, every child has the opportunity to enter the school, acquire knowledge skills and improve the quality of his/her life, and become a pillar of life. The narrative of “knowledge to change destiny” remains unchanged in the light of the changing times, and people are always moved by the phrase, “don't read hard, that's the way you look at the world”。
From the high examination onwards, another generation embarks on a wider journey of life. Liu shahua wang ho xue
