The National Education Examinations Authority (NEEA) is an agency of the Chinese Ministry of Education, headquartered in the Li Ye building (立业大厦), Tsinghua Science Park, Haidian District, Beijing.[1] It administers public certificate tests and tests of foreign origin in Mainland China,[2] including those for adults and prospective university students.[3]

The NEEA was established in 1987. In 1994 it merged with the Office of the Self-taught Higher Education Examinations (国家教委高等教育自学考试办公室).[1][4] The latter, originally established in 1983, became subordinate to the NEEA as the Office of the Self-Taught Education Examinations (全国高等教育自学考试委员会办公室).[5][6] In July 2006 the NEEA had its fourth reorganization.[7]
