A high school *principal from Henan province and a *delegate of the National People’s Congress proposed a controversial reform measure at the annual session of the NPC in Beijing. Li Guangyu, the principal of the Peking University Affiliated High School in Henan, complained that the nation’s top universities don’t recruit enough students in Henan, one of China’s most populous provinces. Instead of allowing universities to decide how many students they admit from each province, Li proposed that admission *quotas be given to provinces in proportion to their population size. Such a system is fair to less-developed regions with large populations, he said.
