This thesis aims at studying the excess competition policy for high school exam-free enrollmentunder twelve-year compulsory education.The excess competition policy has a key impact on opportunities and school choices.Using documentary research method, the excess competition policy in Chunghua, Yunlin and Chiayi School Districts are analyzed and comparedthrough the research ofdata and materials in 2014 and 2015. Similar to Chunghua and Chiayi, Yunlin is an agriculture county lackingfinancial resources and culture stimuli. It is natural to compare the policies in these districts, and analyze the effect on junior high school education as well as the enrollment. There are five findings in this research. First, items and weights employed to rank students in the excess competition policy are analyzed and compared. In 2015, major itemssorted by weights for Chunghua are comprehensive assessmentscore, high schoolchoices, service-learning grade, and priority by distance. Those for Yunlin are comprehensive assessmentscore, outstanding rewards, balanced learning accomplishments, and high schoolchoices. Major items forChiayi are comprehensive assessmentscore, high schoolchoices, achievements in competitions, and physical fitness and career counseling.Secondly, it is important to include a balanced learning assessment in the excess competition policy to encourage balanced teaching and learning in the junior high school. It should be evaluated whether there is a noticeable change of the bypassing and non-major subject teaching attitude in junior high schools under a balanced excess competition policy. Thirdly, the weighting of comprehensive assessment score has a direct impact on the variability of the academic level between students entering the same high school. This conclusion can be validated by a continuous study based on the academic survey of high school freshmen in the education database. Fourthly, the competence-based class grouping is a common practice among rural high schools to boost the college entrance rate. The administration of education should seriously review the legitimacy of such a practice. Fifthly, Chiayi adopts an 11% weighting of “career counseling” in its excess competition policy. Given the fact that the career orientation is undetermined for most junior high school students, it is questionable to include “career counseling” in the policy before a credible evaluation approach can be established.
