For years, China's education system has been criticized for its exam-driven curriculum, whichfocuses on memorizing textbooks and getting good test scores.

多年来，中国的教育系统一直因其应试课程而遭到批评，这些课程侧重于记忆课本的知识，并获得良好的考试成绩。

Zheng Fuzhi, a director with the basic education division of the MOE, said that high schoolenrollment will not only depend on exam scores, but also students' morality, mental andphysical health, artistic tastes and social skills.

教育部基础教育司司长郑富芝称，高中招生将不仅取决于学生的考试分数，还会考察他们的思想品德、身心健康、艺术素养和社会技能。
