今年全国940万人高考

A big day for Chinese high school students is to come. Over 9 million will compete for a spot in university in the country's college entrance exam on Tuesday. Also known as "Gaokao", the exam is said to be the largest in terms of candidates in the world.

China's Ministry of Education has urged measures to ensure that students get a quiet environment, safe food supply, and timely weather forecast.

Cities across China have also offered support, including public transport service and free medical services.

The exam usually takes place on June 7 and 8, and will determine the future for many high school students.
