A recent *amended regulation issued by the Ministry of Education has left hundreds of thousands of college graduates this year worried about their future. Under this new policy, university graduates must pass all test items in a physical examination by their graduation, or they will not be issued graduation certificates by their universities. The last version of the regulation, amended in 2007, required students to pass a certain number of tests, but some of them such as pull-ups, sit-ups and 1km or 800m runs, are optional items which could be replaced by easier tests at a students’ request. This year’s amendment made all of these tests *mandatory. Many graduates are worried that they cannot pass the more demanding physical tests and therefore won’t be able to get proper certificates to get jobs or pursue further studies.
