This is NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing. Here is the news.
China is increasing its assistance for people with disabilities taking the national college entrance examination, or gaokao, which falls in June each year.
Examination departments across the country should offer reasonable accommodations to test takers who have disabilities on the basis of their specific needs.
The new regulations have been released by the Ministry of Education and the China Disabled Persons' Federation. It aims to ensure that people with disabilities can have convenient and equal access to the exams.
The regulations stipulate that starting this year, test takers with disabilities can enter examination halls ahead of time; and the halls will have specialized staff, including sign language interpreters, in place to offer assistance.
Last year marked the first time that blind and other visually impaired people were officially permitted to take the gaokao. The ministry released a notice last April, stipulating that examination departments should provide necessary assistance and tools to enable them to take the test.
This year, the policy was extended to cover people with other disabilities.

China is planning its "biggest ever" cyber security education campaign in the hope of keeping the public away from online fraud and hackers.
An Internet watchdog has said the weeklong initiative is scheduled for the first week of June, and will mainly target young people who are heavy Internet users but have little knowledge of safety.
According to the Cyberspace Administration of China, a key organizer of the event, it will be the biggest Internet safety campaign the country has ever seen.
The organizers say that young people born after 1990 will be a major pillar of Chinese Internet in the future, and the strongest power to guard cyber safety.
One-third of China's 650 million web users are below the age of 30. Young people are frequent users of online shopping and financial services, making them more vulnerable to malicious web attacks.
The younger generation is also more likely to teach seniors in their family how to protect their privacy online, allowing the initiative to benefit more people.
China's Internet vulnerabilities are starting to affect people's daily lives. More than 40 percent of Chinese web users described the country's Internet service as unsafe, in a survey released earlier this year.
