Students taking the college entrance examination

Data shows that the first batch of candidates who registered for the college entrance examination reached 5.8 million, far exceeding the enrollment plan of colleges and universities. Expanding enrollment has become a unanimous call from all over the country. Mao Zuhuan, director of the Institute of Educational Sciences at Beijing University of Science and Technology, recalled, "The expansion of enrollment was also decided temporarily. At the beginning, each school was asked to apply for how many students each school could recruit. That's how they applied and set the score line. There were still many students who did well in the exam that year, because many classes of people were pressed together to take the college entrance examination. So in the end, I remember that Lin Hujia was the mayor of Beijing at that time, and Beijing took the lead in expanding enrollment. Originally, for example, 330 points or 340 points were required to pass the line, but later it was said that anyone with more than 300 points could go to college. The number of students increased by at least one-third and one-half, which is still a large proportion. Later, large cities such as Tianjin and Shanghai followed suit, resulting in a second expansion of enrollment."

The data released by the Ministry of Education shows that in 1978, 6.1 million people applied for the national college entrance examination and 402,000 were admitted.
