Te annual college entrance examination has come to an end again, and many parents of foreign students want to know how their children, who are currently in their second or third year of high school, can obtain the qualification to register for the Chinese Gaokao, and whether they can only register by returning to their home country. For this question, SFBC tells you that foreign children only need a Permanent Residence ID Card of the People's Republic of China to participate in the Chinese Gaokao.
一年一度的高考又结束了，不少外籍考生家长想了解自己的外籍子女目前在读高二、高三，应该如何才能获得参与中国高考的报名资格，是不是只能回到自己的国家报名。针对这个问题，SFBC告诉你外籍子女想要参加中国高只需一张中国永久居留身份证就可以了。
According to the "Regulations on the Recruitment of Students by Regular Higher Education Institutions in 2023" formulated by the Ministry of Education, "Foreigners who have settled in China and meet the registration conditions, holding the 'Permanent Residence ID Card for Foreigners of the People's Republic of China' issued by the public security authorities, can apply for registration at the designated place by the provincial recruitment committee where the card was issued."
根据教育部制定的《2023年普通高等学校招生工作规定》，“在中国定居并符合报名条件的外国人，持公安机关签发的《中华人民共和国外国人永久居留身份证》，可在签发地省级招委会指定的地点申请报名。”
Foreigners, including overseas Chinese, who participate in the Gaokao must meet the registration conditions and hold the "Permanent Residence Permit for Foreigners" issued by the public security authorities, also known as the Chinese Green Card.
包括外籍华人在内的外国人参加高考，需要符合报名条件并持公安机关签发的“外国人永久居留证”，也就是中国绿卡。
一、参加国内高考的条件？

Through the requirements of the above provinces, it is not difficult to see that the prerequisite for foreign students to participate in the domestic Gaokao is to obtain the Chinese Green Card, in addition, they must also "comply with the Constitution and laws of the People's Republic of China; graduate from a senior secondary education school or have equivalent academic qualifications; meet the relevant physical condition requirements."
通过以上省份的要求，不难看出，外籍学生参加国内高考的前提条件是取得中国绿卡，此外还要“遵守中华人民共和国宪法和法律；高级中等教育学校毕业或具有同等学力；身体状况符合相关要求。”
二、高考“加分”吗？
Foreign students participating in the domestic Gaokao are treated equally with domestic candidates in terms of admission, and universities "select the best candidates", there is no preferential policy for bonus points. Of course, they cannot apply for military or public security institutions.
外籍学生参加国内高考，在录取上，是和国内考生同等待遇，大学是“择优录取”，不存在加分的优惠政策。当然，是不能报考军事、公安类院校的。
三、在哪里高考？
According to the regulations of the Ministry of Education, the Gaokao should be taken at the place where the "Permanent Residence ID Card for Foreigners of the People's Republic of China" is issued, and it is not a random selection from all provinces in the country.
根据教育部规定，在取得《中华人民共和国外国人永久居留证》的签发地参加高考，并不是全国的省份随便选择。
