    FEATURE - China: 20'000 Studenten bereiten sich in Anhui auf College-Aufnahmeprüfung vor

    Maotanchang Middle School, the biggest cram school for China's college entrance exam in all of Asia, is famous for its strict discipline and deliberate lack of entertainment for students. Maotanchang Middle School and its sister school, Jin'an Middle School, are "cram schools" that specialize in preparing students for the Gaokao. From June to August, the small town of Maotanchang in eastern China is a ghost town. Come the end of August, the town swells from 5,000 residents to more than 50,000. Nearly 10,000 of those are students studying for China's notoriously difficult college entrance exam, known as the "gaokao," according to media reports.
