Students
Ouyang Le, a fresh graduate from a Guangzhou high school: The rules affected me. I had wanted to study at the University of International Relations. I scored 614 on the gaokao, but as a woman, I needed 628. If I had been a man, I would have needed just 609. Most young women do not speak up, instead silently switching their major or university. It was difficult to know how many women were affected every year, however, the number could run in the hundreds or thousands.
Xiong Jing: We protest a growing trend in Chinese universities in which women increasingly must score higher than men to get in and face unofficial but widespread gender quotas that favor men. But the Education Ministry responded that the practices were in the "national interest". The response made us really angry—it’s just such a pity. It’s illegal too. The Education Law forbids discrimination on several grounds including gender. And the Education Ministry is allowing it.
Zhou Haipeng, who graduated from college two years ago with a degree in Arabic studies: In Arabic countries, many local people feel more comfortable working with men. Male graduates with his major had an easier time getting a job. The majority of my classmates ended up working in companies related to the Arabic world.
Teachers
Zhang Ting, a teacher at Beijing No. 5 High School: I agreed with the ministry’s ban on gender discrimination. The regulation reaches true equality principles, which will benefit all students equally. But it is understandable that some universities have gender requirements for some majors. It reflects the market demand. It is better to clarify the need when entering universities instead of recruiting thousands of students who cannot land jobs after graduation.
Officials
Tang Shangshu, a counselor at the School of Plant Sciences: Generally speaking, boys mature later, while girls have good study habits. In addition, Mr. Tang said that many jobs that once required physical labor had been replaced by labor-saving science and technologies. That had removed women’s physical disadvantages, while in terms of wisdom boys may not have particularly obvious advantages.
Ms. Lu, the Media Monitor program monitor: Young women today have real opportunities to study, and that they are becoming so outstanding is really to their credit, their families’ credit and to the country’s credit. They worked so hard to get these high grades. And we cannot accept that the Education Ministry is infringing on their rights. They must respect their own laws.
Comrade Lu Pin; In view of consideration of the national interest, to meet personnel training needs in some job areas or specialties, a few colleges may appropriately adjust the enrollment ratios of men and women.
An official, at the Teaching Office at the China University of Political Science and Law: The school did not have gender-based enrollment policies. For criminology, female students must account for less than 15 percent of students because of the nature of their future career. But women were scoring so well that in practice a higher percentage were being admitted.

答案
Is It Advisable for Universities to Set Enrollment Ratios Based on Gender? Several years ago, there were complaints filed by female students who were discriminated in admissions to 11 prestigious universities in China. Several universities were also accused of lowering their passing rate for entrance-admission tests for male applicants. Therefore, a heated discussion has arisen as to whether it is justifiable to set enrollment ratios based on gender. Quite a number of female students protested vigorously against this policy. They hold that it breaches the law of equality when female students are required of higher grades to be admitted into universities than their male counterparts. What’s more, some experts have also maintained that female students no longer face the disadvantages in terms of physical strength compared with male ones in the job market, because with the advancement of technology, many labor-demanding jobs have been replaced by scientific and technological innovations. Therefore, concerns about female disadvantages in certain majors should be eased and eradicated. However, other experts still find this policy in accordance with the interest of both the nation and the female students concerned in light of their future career. They hold that due to the fact that some jobs are male-oriented, it’s understandable for the universities to set gender ratios. Taking the arguments of the two sides into account, I am inclined to agree with the former opinion. For one thing, it is an undeniable right for female students to enjoy the same chances and rights to receive education as male students. It infringes on their fundamental human rights when they’re denied to apply certain majors and universities because of their gender. For another, it is claimed that some majors favor male students because their future jobs are most likely undertaken by males. However, this is a false argument, because dating back, all the jobs used to be undertaken by men and women were prohibited to take a career life. Women have proved their intelligence and competence to fulfill all the career they are allowed to do. Therefore, no one should doubt their ability in terms of job performance and all they need is the chance to show how good they are by being admitted into these majors in the first place. To sum up, it is a woman’s inalienable right to enjoy equal opportunity in terms of education. As a place shaping and modeling the young of the world, universities should pilot the effort to present equality to women by removing the gender ratios of their majors.
