復旦開綠燈招400農村生 邊遠貧困區無需筆試面試

Students in remote or impoverished rural regions who are in their final grade in high school will no longer need to make the long journey to Shanghai for written tests and interviews to secure a place in prestigious Fudan University.

爲躋身復旦大學這所名校，農村邊遠貧困地區的高三學生將無需長途跋涉來到上海蔘加筆試、面試。

Instead, they need only submit materials online and take the college entrance exam, or gaokao, near home. If they score 50 points higher than the provincial minimum for a first-tier university, they may receive an offer from Fudan.

取而代之的是，他們僅需在線提交相關材料，之後在家附近參加高考就可以了。如果成績達到所在省第一批本科錄取控制分數線上50分，那麼就有機會被複旦錄取。

"We are endeavoring to lighten students' economic burdens and help them fulfill their dreams of enjoying the country's highest quality educational resources at low cost," said Ding Guanghong, assistant to the president of Fudan.

復旦大學的校長助理丁光宏說：“我們正在努力減輕學生的經濟負擔，幫助他們實現以低成本享受全國最優質的教育資源的夢想。”

Candidates who want to compete for a spot at Fudan through the program need to submit materials online before April 25 including academic ranking, evidence of school performance, strong points in subjects and spirit of innovation and potential. Fudan will release the list of qualifying students in late May. Performance in the gaokao will be key, according to the admission rules.

想要通過該項目競爭復旦大學一席之地的考生，需要在4月25日之前在網上提交相關材料。這些材料包括成績排名、在校表現證明、學科特長、創新精神和發展潛質等。復旦將於五月發佈具有資格的學生名單。根據錄取規則，在高考中的表現將是非常關鍵的。

"Through the program this year Fudan will recruit 400 students, accounting for 13 percent of the total quota, which is quite high," Ding said.

丁光宏表示：“復旦大學計劃今年通過該項目招收400名學生，佔招生總名額的13%，這是相當高的。”

Thanks to the program, the ratio of students from rural areas in Fudan increased from 10.4 percent in 2012 to 18 percent in 2014. Students from central and western areas rose from 35.9 percent in 2012 to 43.7 last year, university figures show.

由於該項目，復旦大學中來自農村的學生的比例已經從2012年的10.4%上升到了2014年的18%。根據復旦大學提供的數據顯示，來自中西部地區的學生也從2012年的35.9%上升到了去年的43.7%。
