More disabled students admitted to universities

Gaokao takers given reasonable help; tailored courses available

More students with disabilities have been admitted to colleges via gaokao, China's national college entrance exam, than through special exams, in the last few years, an official from China Disabled Persons' Federation said on Friday.

Between 2015 and 2017, more than 28,900 disabled candidates were admitted via gaokao to mainstream colleges, compared with 5,464 candidates admitted through special exams to colleges or majors that cater to the group, according to Li Dongmei, deputy director of the federation's education and employment department.
