Recently, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Reform of Educational Methods in Ordinary High Schools in the New Era." Among them, the "Guiding Opinions" proposes to encourage the mutual selection of courses between general high schools and secondary vocational schools, the mutual recognition of credits , and the exchange of resources to promote the integration of general and vocational schools.
In recent years, our country has been continuously building an overpass between general education and vocational education. One of the practices is to open general and vocational integration classes, so that the resources of general higher education and secondary vocational education can be organically integrated and educational resources can be continuously optimized.
In 2017, Chengdu began a pilot project for general vocational integration.
General vocational integration is known as the “second choice” for students.

The development situation of general vocational integration at home and abroad
In terms of general vocational integration, there are various implementation methods internationally, such as the integrated education model represented by the United States, and the inclusion of certificates, diplomas and degree qualifications represented by Australia. Various educational connection models of the framework. Our country is also actively carrying out continuous practical exploration. In recent years, "general-vocational integration" reform experiments have been piloted in many provinces and cities in Fujian, Qingdao, Wuxi and other provinces and cities in the developed eastern regions of my country, with good results. Other regions are gradually carrying out pilot work, taking Chengdu as an example:
In 2017,
Chengdu City officially issued the "Opinions on Promoting the Reform of the Integrated Education Model for General Vocational Students (Trial)" to promote the "resources" between Chengdu general high schools and secondary vocational schools. Sharing, course co-construction, teacher interaction, mutual recognition of credits, and mutual transfer of student status" are expected to build a new education model with an open connection between general education and vocational education.

It is planned to hold the first batch of 17 experimental classes for general vocational integration and recruit 810 "general vocational integration" freshmen.
In 2019
16 secondary vocational schools in 15 districts (cities) and counties in Chengdu will be paired with ordinary high schools in the region to hold vocational general integration experimental classes, with a planned enrollment of 1,115 students.
How general and vocational education integrate with each other
General and vocational education builds an interconnected overpass for general education and vocational education, integrating the curriculum systems and management mechanisms of the two types of education.
The cooperation and mutual integration between the two types of schools is mainly reflected in the fact that ordinary high schools can play the role of vocational schools in comprehensive practical education . By cooperating with secondary vocational schools, ordinary high school students can, under the guidance and participation of secondary vocational schools, Credit requirements for completing comprehensive practical courses. In addition, secondary vocational schools can also cooperate with ordinary high schools. Students in secondary vocational schools can elect to study some cultural knowledge courses in ordinary high schools.
Advantages of General Vocational Integration
Learning is a marathon. Only by choosing shoes that suit you can you persevere and rush to the finish line. General Vocational Integration gives students the opportunity to "second choice" .
Students who are admitted to the "General Vocational Integration" pilot class, after studying general high school knowledge in the first semester of high school, are fully able to adapt to the teaching requirements of ordinary high schools, and their academic performance reaches certain requirements, they can apply to continue to ordinary high schools. Study and enjoy the treatment of ordinary high school students. Students who are already studying in ordinary high schools can also choose to enter vocational education after the first year of high school according to the students' interests and specialties, choose appropriate majors to study, and build an interconnected overpass for students' independent growth and diversified talents.
The Necessity of General Vocational Integration
From the perspective of my country’s education structure system, general high schools focus on education for further education, while secondary vocational schools focus on skills training. The two are distinct in terms of talent training methods, but this functional division also has certain limitations.
Ordinary high school students lack professional skills, and secondary vocational students have a weak cultural foundation. This limitation is even more prominent for those students who have attended ordinary high schools but failed to enter higher education, and those who have attended secondary vocational schools and are eager to advance to higher education. General and vocational integration breaks down the barriers between education and connects general high schools and secondary vocational schools to complement each other and is of great significance to the growth and development of students.

If you really cannot adapt to the learning style of general high school, you can also transfer to a secondary vocational school for targeted vocational education.
The role of general vocational integration in secondary vocational schools
Going to higher education is the goal of most students, and entering university is even more a dream for students, while general vocational integration is an easy way to go to college. Because
secondary vocational schools use cultural course textbooks from vocational high schools and professional textbooks designated by the national education authorities, the courses offered in are less difficult than those in ordinary high schools , which is a benefit for students who have difficulty learning cultural courses. At the same time, it can not only accept the cultural courses of general high schools, but also cultivate secondary vocational skills, which also plays an important role in the all-round development of students.
Can I take the college entrance examination in the general vocational integration class?
If students in the general vocational integration class are promoted to ordinary high schools, they will take the national general college entrance examination in June every year, just like students in ordinary high schools. If you continue to stay in a secondary vocational school, you can pass the counterpart entrance exam , enter a higher-level school, and cultivate yourself into a high-level practical talent. Students in the
general vocational integration class receive comprehensive learning. They have both solid theoretical knowledge and certain practical abilities. No matter which path they choose to advance to higher education, they have their competitiveness.
What conditions do secondary vocational students meet to enter the general high school?
General vocational integration experimental class students can apply to the corresponding ordinary high school before the end of the second semester of in the first grade of . Students who apply to transfer to a regular high school must take the final exam of the first semester of the corresponding regular high school, and their cultural class scores must meet the performance requirements of the corresponding regular high school.
What to do with the student status of secondary vocational students after they are promoted to general high schools
The "Guiding Opinions" clearly will carry out the mutual transfer of student status to for general vocational students. After students from secondary vocational schools transfer to ordinary high schools, their secondary vocational school student status will be canceled and included in the management of ordinary high school student status. Those who do not meet the performance requirements of the corresponding ordinary high schools will continue to study in secondary vocational schools. Special attention should be paid to the fact that students with student status in secondary vocational schools enjoy free tuition and other related funding policies for vocational education. After their student status is transferred to ordinary high schools, the relevant policies of ordinary high schools will be followed and they will no longer enjoy the relevant funding policies for vocational education.
Summary

It has established an integration and connection mechanism between ordinary high school education and secondary vocational education, which is very conducive to creating high-quality and highly skilled talents. form.
