The earliest college entrance examination time was in July. Why was it later changed to June?
This time the college entrance examination was postponed to July due to the epidemic, which has attracted much discussion. But in fact, the college entrance examination has always been in July in history, and it was only changed to June in 2003. So why was the college entrance examination changed in the first place? This was mainly because of the weather in July.
July is too hot and the weather is unstable. The earliest college entrance examination is scheduled for July. It is said to make everyone remember the July 7th Incident and encourage the majority of students to study hard and serve the motherland. But let’s not talk about the unstable climate throughout July. On July 7th, there was a heat wave. You must know that the college entrance examination examination rooms in the past were not as comfortable as they are now. In some cities, the examination rooms did not even have fans. Taking exams under such hot conditions is very detrimental to candidates. Heatstroke and fainting in the examination room often occur. In addition, in southern my country, typhoons and heavy rains often occur in July, which not only affects students' travel for the college entrance examination, but also adds a lot of trouble to the organizers of the college entrance examination. In this way, Hu left all walks of life, and the Ministry of Education began to adjust the college entrance examination time according to the wishes of the people.
After careful study by the Ministry of Education, they found that the exam date has been changed to June. The college entrance examination is a lifelong matter for the candidates, and the adjustment of time affects everyone's hearts. Because the temperature in our country has risen significantly since July, it can be seen that there is no way to postpone the college entrance examination schedule in the future, and it will naturally be adjusted forward. However, if you start too early, you may hit May Day, or the study time in the second half of the semester will be too short. Therefore, the Ministry of Education and relevant personnel carefully considered and compared various weather factors such as rainfall, temperature deviation, floods and other monthly data from the Meteorological Bureau, and finally decided to change the college entrance examination to June every year.
From the current point of view, the weather in June is indeed much better than that in July, and the temperature difference between the morning and afternoon is not big, which is very suitable for candidates to take the exam. From this, we can also find that the Ministry of Education still attaches great importance to the college entrance examination, otherwise it would not go out of its way to invest time in research and revision due to the voice of the public.
