According to relevant local documents, from 2024, there will be several new changes in the enrollment of college entrance examination art examination. First, the college entrance examination art test will enter the "unified examination era." It is mentioned in the Guiding Opinions that all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) should actively create conditions, gradually expand the scope of the provincial-level unified examination for art majors, and basically achieve full coverage of the provincial-level unified examination for art majors by 2024.
At present, the provincial-level unified examination for art majors in various places has set up six categories: music, dance, performance, broadcasting and hosting, art design and calligraphy. All localities have issued documents to make specific provisions on the subjects, scores, contents, forms, requirements and all aspects of the examination organization and implementation.
In addition, many places also informed that starting from 2024, there will no longer be cross-provincial test sites, and all art majors in colleges and universities will be organized at the location of the school.
Second, some art majors will cancel the vocational ability examination. According to the above notice of Beijing Education Examinations Institute, from 2024 onwards, art majors such as art history, drama, film and television literature will be selected according to the results of cultural courses in the college entrance examination and the comprehensive quality evaluation of candidates.
Among them, the art majors that no longer organize vocational ability examinations include art history, art management, intangible cultural heritage protection, drama, film research, drama film and television literature, radio and television director, and film and television technology.
Third, the performance requirements of cultural courses will be gradually improved. Zhejiang Education Examinations Institute requires that from 2024 onwards, art majors in colleges and universities that organize school examinations should be selected according to the candidates' school examination results on the basis that the results of Zhejiang college entrance examination and cultural courses are qualified in principle and meet the minimum requirements set by the school. According to the enrollment situation, the school can apply for an appropriate reduction in the performance requirements of cultural courses, but not less than 75% of ordinary classes.
Hunan Education Examinations Institute mentioned that colleges and universities are encouraged to further improve the requirements for admission of cultural achievements on the control scores uniformly delineated by Hunan Province. On this basis, the cultural expression requirements of art majors in the college entrance examination will be gradually improved in the future. From 2025, the admission control scores of related disciplines will be increased from 75% and 70% of the minimum control scores of ordinary undergraduate courses to 80% and 75% respectively.
Guangdong Education Examinations Institute also mentioned that in 2024, the proportion of candidates' total scores in cultural courses in music, dance, performance, art design and calligraphy should be appropriately increased.
