The appearance of "star schools" was not caused because certain schools were better run, or got more resources from the MoE. It was because, under the examination system of selection for high school, all the best students became concentrated together.
明星高中的出現，主要不是因為這些學校辦得較好，或是教育部給的教學資源比較多，而是聯考的篩選，將好學生都集中在一起了。
