Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study found that many Asian counties and areas shared one of the main purposes of recent years' college entrance examination reform as for reducing many gaps in the societies. There are two kinds of the preferential policies, and one is for ethnic minorities and the other for students in rural areas. Both of them include the steps of adding points of the exams or of quota systems for specific groups. They are, however, controversial issues in many countries and have not been settled yet so far. It also found that there were many kinds of college-bound programs including IB and AP programs there, and they could mainly be categorized as four types, based on an axis suggesting the domestic or overseas bound program, and the other one suggeting that one college authorizes academic credits or many do them.
