Aid measures in place for postgraduate entrance exams
Local education authorities are urged to actively respond to the recent freezing weather and the magnitude 6.2 earthquake in Jishishan county, Linxia, Gansu province as an effort to ensure the organization of the postgraduate studies entrance exam in China this weekend.
Education departments and examination institutions in affected regions should keep close contact with meteorological and seismological counterparts to enhance extreme weather forecasting and earthquake warnings, the Ministry of Education said on Wednesday.
They should improve emergency plans and prevention measures to minimize adverse impacts on the organization of the examination, it said. The investigation of hidden risks at examination centers and venues should be conducted, ensuring the normal operation of infrastructure and preventing disruptions caused by extreme weather and secondary hazards after earthquakes.
Convenient services are in place to aid candidates on their way to the examination center, it added.
