精英统治是中国共产党在向市场经济转型过程中使用的一种强大的意识形态。尤其是高考，高等教育选拔成为党与精英意识形态联系起来的理想工具。本文调查了当代中国高等教育选拔在多大程度上基于精英原则。 2007 年，在两个省份进行了一项涉及约 960 名一年级学生的调查研究。统计分析并未表明存在强有力的社会经济选择。然而，在预测学生的高考成绩以及进入精英大学的机会时，存在文化选择性。社会人口因素在影响学生的高等教育机会方面似乎比社会经济地位更为重要。
Meritocracy is a powerful ideology that was used by the Chinese Communist Party during China’s transition to a market economy. With the Gaokao in particular, higher education selection became an ideal vehicle for the Party to associate itself with the ideology of meritocracy. This article investigates the extent to which higher education selection was based on meritocratic principles in contemporary China. A survey study involving around 960 first-year students was conducted in 2007 in two provinces. The statistical analysis did not suggest a strong socio-economic selection. However, a cultural selectivity was indicated in predicting students’ Gaokao performance as well as their chances of getting into elite universities. Socio-demographic factors appeared to be more significant than socio-economic status in affecting students’ higher education opportunities.
