Abstract
This is a paper analyzing “ethnic equality” in China through entrance examinations in Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture. China has pursued realizing an “ethnically equal” society since China built its country. It can be said however, that the term “ethnic equality” is ambiguous, and because of that, China has walked a meandering road. Thus, clarifying the meaning of the “ethnic equality” in China is very important for doing research on China's future. Entrance examinations appear to be objective to everyone, but actually include “ethnic equality” problems such as what subjects are examined or how they are questioned. Investigating entrance examinations in Yanbian is suitable for pursuing “ethnic equality” research because the Korean minority and Han majority that live there are competing against each other in entrance examinations. This paper uses raw data concerned with entrance examinations and interviews of teachers and students in Yanbian.
