High school Academic Level Test(ALT) reform has faced risks such as fairness issue and the difficult implementation of quality education and difficult realization of students’ all-round development. After exploring several factors behind the reform, like culture, consciousness, and system, this paper has attributed the risks to a lack of a scientific scheme for the reform, a weak ethical culture, stakeholders’ conspiracy, high schools’ pursuit of profit, various resistance of students’ all-round development and the speculative mentality of self-interest. To tackle these risks, this paper suggests the following countermeasures: perfecting ALT system, transforming education concepts and properly handling stakeholders’ interests. |
