From a positive point of view, this policy is helpful to put an end to the phenomenon of private schools enrolling students privately and ensure the fairness of education. At the same time, through the way of lottery admission, it can also effectively curb the speculation of school districts and protect the rights and interests of families just in need. In addition, for some special public schools, such as Shangshi, Shangwai Middle School and Puwai, etc. Students don't need to take the senior high school entrance examination. The rising rate of junior high school is about 90%, and the rate of one book is close to 90%. The number of people leaving the college entrance examination is very considerable.
On the other hand, there are some problems in the lottery admission policy. First of all, this policy may increase the psychological pressure of parents and students, because they are not sure whether they can be admitted to their favorite schools. Secondly, this policy may lead some parents to excessively pursue prestigious schools and ignore their children's interests and specialties.
Generally speaking, Shanghai Xiaoshengchu enrollment policy by lottery is a reform measure aimed at improving educational equity, but its effect needs time and practice to test.
