Ctrip CEO Liang Jianzhang publicly stated that he would cancel the high school entrance examination and shorten the academic system. Liang Jianzhang is an expert in the fields of Chinese population and social research, and entrepreneurship and innovation research. He received his PhD in economics from Stanford University and is a part-time research professor of economics at Peking University Guanghua School of Management. In his latest article, he pointed out that a lot of time is wasted in the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination, resulting in students having 2 years to review and cope with the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination. It is recommended to cancel the high school entrance examination and shorten the schooling system, and implement ten years of free compulsory education.
"After all, with the Internet, students don't have to memorize many knowledge points. It is completely feasible to shorten the schooling system. Canceling the high school entrance examination will save a lot of time that was wasted purely on reviewing for the exam. It can speed up the basic education stage by two years, and you can go to university at the age of 16." Liang Jianzhang said.
Universalizing ten years of basic education will allow the vast majority of young people to complete college education at the age of 20 and enter the workforce two years earlier. Some people can obtain a master's degree at the age of 22 and enter professional positions 2-3 years earlier.
