Salayidin Suletan, an 18-year-old Uygur student in Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, planned well before taking the national college entrance exam: He wants to enroll at Xinjiang Normal University and become a physics teacher after graduation.
On Saturday and Sunday, he was among 162,600 students in Xinjiang to take the exam - 3,900 more than last year. About half of them will enter college.
In 2011, 147,700 students took the exam.
