As a part of talented education, special education measures have been taken to the students who are extremely good at natural science in the period of high school in China. One of them is the establishment of the National scientific pilot class The National scientific pilot class gathers lots of students excellent at natural science from the whole nation. Besides the assumption of the exemption from entrance examinations for the universities, it has various features such as, classes with fewer pupils, diversification of the curriculum and the class teacher, attendance and credit earning in the classes of universities. The goals of the National scientific pilot class are: 1.

To develop the human resources of natural science. 3. To be established into the base of training the fully developable players for the international contest. It experiences have greatly affected not only the talented education but also the usual education. This thesis will focus on the National scientific pilot classes established in the attached middle schools of four famous universities, including the attached middle school of Qinghua University. In order to consider various questions on the National scientific pilot class, such as its actual situation, its role in the education system, and the way of guaranteeing the pupils to accept the widely balanced education, the research will be concentrated on the background of establish National scientific pilot class, the way of recruiting pupils, its path, the real situation of the curriculums, the talented education\u27s influence on the general education and so on.
