A decade has passed since the policy of open university admissions was first adopted by several higher education institutes. Since then, it has become a nation-wide policy. So how effective is it and how will it fare in the future?

The past decade has witnessed substantial improvement of the open recruitment and admittance policy. Tailored to individual schools' requirements, the policy has had satisfactory results so far. A survey tracking students who went through this process, shows that most of them demonstrate higher competency in study, professional skills and academic scripts.

Zhao Jing, Admissions Officer of Beijing University of Chemical Technology said "Overall, we have traced 70 percent of the self-selected students. Their comprehensive and professional ranking are among the top 30 percent of all students."

The policy is not only a new channel to recruit talent, but is also an important step for the development of colleges and universities. In traditional college entrance exams, universities are not involved in setting the standards, and they recruit solely based on the given criteria.

Ding Guanghong, Admissions Officer of Fudan University said "In foreign countries, higher education institutes have the right to choose the students who meet their standards. This is one concept deeply embedded in their education system. But in China, the university admissions office have no such rights."

Many education experts say that the policy will help build modern education institutes, enhancing their recruitment abilities and integrating them better with international practices.

Despite various examination alliances and personal recommendations by high school presidents, the policy is often at the center of much controversy. So much so, the Ministry of Education has put a five percent limit on students entering university through the open admissions policy. The ministry's move is being seen as way to halt the growing use of the policy, in a bid to maintain a healthy and moderate recruitment reform.

The reform of admissions to Chinese universities based on a system of open recruitment is proving to be a significant change for the country’s higher education institutions. This year’s recruitment of students by Chinese universities began Saturday, attracting tens of thousands of high-school students. Our reporter Li Wan-mei went to a test site in Beijing to find out more.

Headed by Tsinghua university, an university alliance comprised of six other universities in China began its open recruitment program this year. 60,000 candidates from all over the country participated in the Triple “A” test, which stands for Advanced Assessment Admission examination, to prove their outstanding abilities.

Test Taker, said, "I send a personal statement to the university listing my experience and performance in high school and how I fit the features of the university. I like the test exams comprehensive over-all abilities, unlike the college entrance exam, it focuses more on personal abilities."

College entrance exam is not the only thing deciding students’ future anymore. And many parents have set their eyes on the open recruitment system to provide their children with another opportunity.

Mr. Ding, Parent, said, "Nowadays, students can obtain knowledge through a variety of ways. Schools used to be the only approach, but now we have the computer and internet. So the measures selecting students should increase as well. I think the independent recruitment is a nice try, so I encourage my boy to take part in it."

Yu Han, the director of Tsinghua’s admission office, says open recruitment students at the university in the past few years have proved to be able to perform better in every single aspect than others.

Yu Han, said, "The proportion of open recruitment students receiving all kinds of scholarships is higher than those entering the university through the regular college entrance exam. And in social and public service activities, they also participated more."

Open recruitment may help increase the adaptability and selectivity of enrollment more easily than the unified entrance examination. But compared to the education systems abroad, it still faces lots of weaknesses.

Yu Han said, "To improve the quality of open enrollment, universities should focus on, and be clear about their needs when selecting their future students. If training of students is separated from selecting them, this road will be narrower and narrower."

Many educators express a wish that Chinese universities continue to increase their autonomy in running universities and training students with competitive skills and capabilities
