Inner Mongolia school authorities disqualified 1,465 students , including the children of several Communist Party officials , after they were found to be illegal “gaokao immigrants” , reported Beijing News Daily . The northern region often draws students from all over the country as its passing grade is lower than other provinces as it is less populated . Each province determines its own set of gaokao questions, and Inner Mongolia’s exam is seen as one of the easiest to pass . (source BBC)
