Education system is the kind of mirror to any country. The people should must be follow the rules and regulations within the education system. As you added that college entrance exam decides the future of students in China is really interesting to me. Because at China the college is setting the way to universities and opening up a door for students in universities for good career.
Here in Pakistan we are getting some betterment in our education system, but not far as to be wrote. We hope to see a healthy development in our education system as well as in IT department too.
