deal with all the enrollment procedures (入学手续) and get them settled in their dormitories. however, the new policy of tsinghua university this semester is sending a message: boys and girls, its time to become independent. on movein day, a yellow line was drawn across the entrance of the school area, separating parents from their children. the students themselves had to spend about three hours registering (注册) and finding their dormitories. by doing this,_the university is asking students to “start this new adventure by standing on their own feet”， said chen jining, president of tsinghua. following tsinghua, other universities have also made policies to encourage students to enroll alone. oujiang college, at wenzhou university in zhejiang, has opened an online platform (平台) for freshmen to contact senior schoolmates who can guide them on enrollment day. renmin university asked senior students to return to their hometowns and accompany freshmen to school. this change has excited many freshmen. feng lei, a tsinghua freshman from gansu province, took a train to beijing with only one schoolmate. “its my first long trip without my parents, and i am quite excited about it，” he said, “coming to the university begins a new stage of my life, and i should learn to take care of myself from the start.” although some say such policies are not enough to make students

education research institute. “the lack of independence has been a major concern for kids born in the 1990s, as parents arranged everything, which hampered (阻碍) childrens allaround development，” xiong

adventure for tsinghua university cbeijingchinas beijing and shanghai cities and guangdong province on sunday published plans to gradually allow migrant workers(外来务工人员) children to enter senior high schools and sit college entrance exams locally.they are the latest in a total of 13 provinces and municipalities(市) to formulate plans to ensure that rural children who have followed their parents to cities can enjoy the same rights as their urban peers in education.beijing will allow migrant workers children to attend local vocational schools in 2013 and allow them to be matriculated by universities after graduating from the vocational programs in 2014, said a statement from the citys commission of education.shanghai took a step further, saying it will allow migrant children in the city to enter local senior high schools, vocational schools and sit college entrance exams (commonly known as gaokao) locally starting in 2014.guangdong has asked its cities to start

education resources.migrant workers, whose children could be benefited by the new plans of the three regions, must have residential permits, stable jobs and incomes, and meet other local requirements, according to the plans.chinas hukou, or household registration system, used to confine children to attending schools in their home provinces. a 2003 regulation amended this by allowing migrant workers children to receive the nineyear compulsory education in cities where their parents work.official figures show that china has more than 250 million farmersturnedworkers living in cities. an estimated
