Increasing number of mainland candidates see city’s university entrance exams as pathway to more diverse opportunities in higher education
Leslie Wang Ziqi, 18, a student in Shenzhen, switched from the National Higher Education Entrance Examination or gaokao, mainland China’s university entrance exam, to the Diploma of Secondary Education (DSE), as a private candidate at the beginning of his final year of senior high school.
“Compared to the gaokao, the DSE is less stressful,” he said, adding that the DSE was also internationally recognised and opened up more diverse pathways for mainland students like him who wanted to pursue their tertiary education and careers abroad.
