Gaokao delay provokes fury (2)

"I would have no choice but to send him back to Inner Mongolia [Autonomous Region] to sit his exam," he said. Du said that he is disappointed in the Chinese education system, and if his son cannot sit the exam in Beijing, he would have to sell his house to fund his son's university education overseas.

A mother surnamed Jin from Heilongjiang Province said she will probably sue the education bureau for their delay in implementing the new policy.

She was also discontent because a foreigner can take the gaokao in Beijing, but not a Chinese citizen registered outside the capital.

"This is not fair to us," she said.

According to the Beijing gaokao application notice for 2013, issued Wednesday, applicants must either be a high school student with a Beijing hukou (household registration) or a foreigner with a permanent resident permit.

A media officer, surnamed Wang, from the Beijing Education Bureau said that despite the complaints of the non-local parents, it will take time to decide when students without a Beijing hukou could sit the gaokao here.
