The enthusiasm and scientific nature of voluntary reporting for quota allocation have also seen improvements. More students with household registration have recognized the importance of quota allocation admissions, resulting in an increase in the number of candidates applying for the examination. This year, 66,387 candidates have filled in the voluntary quota allocation for ordinary high schools. It has become the preferred route for household registration students to gain admission to high-quality public high schools. Among the candidates admitted through quota allocation, the ratio of first-choice admissions reached an impressive 81.91%. The overall grades of candidates admitted have improved compared to last year, with an increase in the number of candidates meeting the criteria for admission to top-grade high schools.
Furthermore, the minimum control score line for quota allocation and admission has been adjusted to benefit more candidates. The reduced score has been adjusted from 20 points to 40 points, allowing a considerable number of candidates to be admitted to high-quality ordinary high schools with more favorable scores. Relatively weaker junior high schools have enjoyed the benefits of quota allocation, leading to notable achievements for their students. For example, candidates from Zengcheng Foreign Language Experimental Middle School entered Huafu with a score of 685, and candidates from Aotou Middle School in Conghua District entered a provincial school with a score of 684.
Candidates are reminded to complete their registration on time as failure to do so will result in the cancellation of their admission. The admission school will not retain their degrees. It is imperative for admitted candidates to check the admission results and follow the registration instructions provided by the schools. Those admitted to ordinary high schools and secondary vocational schools beyond the third division and key specialty majors above the provincial level will not be eligible for supplementary enrollment regardless of registration status.
