Last week both Beijing and Guangdong published their new gaokao registration notices, which still deny access to next June's exam to children of non-residents in the cities.
"We don't have new information, but we will strictly implement whatever new policies that are issued," a staffer with the Beijing Education Examination Authority, who asked not to be named, told the Global Times Monday.
The Beijing Municipal Education Commission could not be reached for comments.
Parents on both sides of the debate have expressed strong opinions on Sina Weibo. Holders of a big city hukou complain that opening the gaokao to outsiders will lower the quality of education.
Zhang Xin, a Beijing-based book editor opposes the integration of nonresident students in the city's gaokao, suggesting students will swarm into first-class cities to attend school and most won't return home.
Xiong Bingqi, deputy director of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said stronger measures from the national level are needed to open the exam to outsiders.
