Abstract

Currently, China emphasizes the integration of education, talent, and technology. The changes in China's education system, particularly the reform of the college entrance examination (Gaokao), have received widespread attention. However, most research focuses on specific measures of the Gaokao reform and its impact on the teaching models of various subjects in high schools. There is still a lack of research on the relationship and mutual influence between education system reform and talent demand, as well as the reasons and significance of education system reform. This article analyzes the relationship between the education system and talent demand using the college entrance examination reform as an example. It concludes that the education system and talent demand mutually influence each other. Based on this, the article proposes that the new college entrance examination reform should continue to promote the cultivation of diverse talents and maintain educational equity, while selecting more outstanding talents for the nation and society.
