the education law of the peoples republic of china
● Article 43 An educated person shall perform the following obligations:
(1) Abide by laws and regulations
(2) Abide by students' code of conduct, respect teachers, and develop good ideological and moral character and behavior habits;
(three) study hard and complete the prescribed learning tasks;
(4) Abide by the management system of all schools or other educational institutions.
These legal provisions are vague, and there is nothing mandatory or normative. Just like everyone goes to school, it is impossible for the state to stipulate that you must pass the exam.
Good luck. If you want to know more detailed legal knowledge, I suggest logging in to my home website to consult a local lawyer!
