Abstract

Examination-oriented education in China has resulted in the deterioration of students’ health and academic development. Chinese Ministry of Education is aware of the negative implications associated with Examination-oriented education and has issued policies dedicated to reducing the homework burdens and off-campus training for students ranging from primary school to senior high school. However, the policies primarily focused on primary and junior high school students. Chinese senior high school students still experience stress and the burden of exam-oriented education in China. Therefore, in this paper, the main objective is to analyze the problems associated with the Chinese high school education system and the negative impacts these problems have on students. This paper's main finding is that most Chinese high schools focus their energy exclusively on Gaokao, believing that Gaokao is the only measure of high school success, ignoring students' hobbies and personality development and suppressing students' individuality. This article aims to provide education policymakers with a better understanding of the plight of Chinese high school students and to inspire future reforms in the field of education.
