Almost 10 Million Chinese Students Take College Entrance Exams
China Daily reports that cities across China have banned traffic and construction noise this week to create a conducive testing environment for more than 9.57 million high school students sitting for their college entrance exams, starting Monday.
The high schoolers will compete for only 6.57 million slots at China’s universities and colleges.
If an emergency arises, traffic police are prepared to transport students to their exams. Local police have also stepped up their inspection of identity cards after the education ministry called for a crackdown on impostors attempting to take the exam.
Editor’s Note: 3 million students won’t get in college? Seems like an opportunity to use the Internet to serve these students.

It’s interesting you mention the need for online education.
I was recently in India, and there was a fair amount of discussion about how there are far too many young people to possibly be educated at their universities. The usual answer seemed to be that they need to find some good way to mass educate online, that the government wasn’t going to do it, and that some entrepreneur will probably both do a lot of good and make a fortune in the process.

Yes, there is opportunity for offering online education by innovative entrepreneurs. There is also opportunity for mass fraud by fraudster entrepreneurs. What is the guarantee that the education they will receive will make them acceptable in the job market?
I think what is needed is a collaboration between reputable Universities and private companies.
I know in India, on every corner almost every minute dubious educational classes are propping up.
Some so called entrepreneurs are becoming rich at the expense of parents who want to give an education to the their kids. Little they know that these scammers are for money only.
May be everybody is not ready for university education. These exams filter out those students.
Creating questionable online education is like playing with people’s life. I hope that does not happen in any society.
