Top 3 English removed from national college entrance exam

The Ministry of Education released a draft reform plan on Dec. 6 for gaokao, the national college entrance examination, stating that English will not be a gaokao test subject in the future. Instead, students can take English tests more than once each year and only the highest score will be counted. Chinese, Mathematics, English are the most important three courses for the secondary education. In recent years, there has been a great deal of debate about whether a foreign language should be prioritized as highly as Chinese.
