Recently, the news that "boys from technical secondary schools were admitted to , Tsinghua and " has become a hot search topic. The story of Zhang Huanteng, an inspirational young man who made a counterattack from secondary school and was admitted to Peking Union Medical College (Tsinghua University School of Medicine) as a graduate student, has been called the "ceiling of secondary vocational education" by netizens.
People’s impression of vocational high schools has always been that “students have no options and parents lose face.” Many parents think that after attending vocational high schools, they will not be able to go to college in the future. This is really a huge misunderstanding.
In fact, secondary vocational students now have many channels for further education. For example, through five-year classes co-operated with higher vocational colleges, and other methods, they can also advance to higher vocational colleges (college) and even undergraduate degrees. . In recent years, further studies have become the mainstream destination for graduates from some vocational high schools in Hangzhou.
Not only that, after entering colleges and universities, some students' learning motivation inspired by their secondary vocational education has a broader space for development, and there are many examples of students who have been admitted to graduate schools. For example, Liu Xinyue, a girl who recently interned at Hangzhou West Lake Vocational High School, is a senior student of Zhejiang Normal University . She just stood out from this year's fiercely competitive postgraduate entrance examination and successfully landed, preparing to become a teacher in the future. This prospective graduate student of Zhejiang Normal University graduated from West Lake Vocational High School four years ago.
Direct student →Graduate student
On the way to higher education, vocational high school students can also be "winners"
Liu Xinyue, a 2015 student from West Lake Vocational Senior High School, studied high-star hotel operation and management. In 2018, she graduated from vocational high school and took the college entrance examination. After passing the single examination and single admission, she was successfully admitted to Zhejiang Normal University to study as an undergraduate, majoring in tourism management.
During her four years in college, Liu Xinyue served as the president of the student union of the college and won dozens of national, provincial, and school-level awards including the first prize for teachers’ skills in the province’s colleges and universities. She also won the national scholarship and the title of provincial outstanding graduate. This year, Liu Xinyue, who is about to graduate from her undergraduate degree, made a new breakthrough - she was admitted to Zhejiang Normal University as a graduate student (vocational education and tourism) to continue her studies.
Delicate, elegant, and full of energy, this was the reporter's first impression when he met Liu Xinyue, who was a trainee teacher at West Lake Vocational High School. But Liu Xinyue quietly told Sister Lu that when she first entered Western Vocational College as a freshman in high school 7 years ago, she was just a girl with a somewhat inferior self-esteem and did not even have the courage to take the high school entrance examination.
The timeline of the story begins when she was in the third year of junior high school. Liu Xinyue gave up the high school entrance examination and participated in the independent enrollment of secondary vocational schools to enter West Lake Vocational High School, which is often called a "direct student."
"At that time, I was anxious about my appearance, and even more anxious about my grades. I spent every day in anxiety. I was weak in English and science, and I tried hard to keep up. I often did homework late at night, but my grades were not good. There was still no improvement, and because of lack of sleep, I had dark circles under my eyes, and my face was covered with acne. From this, I entered a vicious cycle, and I became more and more inferior and dared not look at others when I spoke," Liu Xinyue recalled, "I think so too. Become a generous and confident person, but in the face of results, the gap between expectations and reality is too big, leaving only a deep sense of powerlessness. "
After scoring 298 points in the junior high school mock test, the class teacher suggested that Xiao Liu "directly advance to" a secondary vocational school. "Because what I am least good at is science, this subject will suddenly change to three subjects after the general high school, physics, chemistry and biology. The gap with other students will probably be even greater." Therefore, Liu Xinyue made up her mind to "directly enter" the middle school. I happened to meet the admissions teacher of West Lake Vocational High School. After several consultations, I found my favorite major in the school - high-star hotel operation and management major.
When she entered high school, Liu Xinyue suddenly seemed like a different person, because all her advantages were brought into play.
In secondary vocational schools, separate examinations and separate admissions for higher vocational education (that is, "single examination, single admission") and "integration of secondary and higher vocational" five-year classes are becoming more and more mainstream:
Take West Lake Vocational High School as an example, West Lake Vocational High School Every year, nearly 90% of graduates pass the single examination, the single examination or the five-year academic system, and enter colleges and universities to continue their studies. In the past five years, students have taken single examinations and single admissions, and the admission rate has been maintained at 100%.
Liu Xinyue is a member of the single examination and single recruitment. Single examination and single admission is a method of college entrance examination designed for secondary vocational school graduates. Vocational school students can also study for undergraduates.The exam takes 2+X, where "2" refers to Chinese and mathematics, and "X" refers to professional courses. The requirements for cultural courses are generally simpler than those for ordinary college entrance examinations.
Another channel for admission to five-year courses is usually jointly run by secondary vocational schools and higher vocational colleges. The first three years are spent studying at the secondary vocational level. After passing the assessment, you can transfer to the higher vocational level to continue your studies. Students can "lock in" the colleges and majors they want to study in the future as soon as they finish the high school entrance examination.
"I only studied Chinese, Mathematics, and Foreign Languages in the high school culture class, and the weakest science was gone." Liu Xinyue said, "Although English is not good, it can ensure that I pass the test. Plus Chinese and Mathematics are also good, my grades suddenly improved." Go up." The changes in the high school curriculum also allowed Liu Xinyue to slowly come out of her low self-esteem.
"Xihu Vocational High School is a boarding school and has a regular life. I don't always stay up late like before. The school cafeteria is delicious - I eat well and sleep well. In addition, my grades have improved and I am in a good mood. My face is full of The acne disappeared after entering high school. "Now Liu Xinyue is a young, beautiful, confident and cheerful girl.
class teacher Zhang Yuan, classmates affectionately call her "Quanquan". She would often encourage her classmates to express themselves, and also supported Liu Xinyue's courageous change. At that time, Liu Xinyue was running for host and was eventually selected as a finalist. It was Teacher Zhang who asked her to recommend herself, which would have been impossible for Liu Xinyue to think of.
After that, Liu Xinyue actively and bravely participated in various activities. She discovered that things that seemed as difficult as climbing to the sky were not that difficult after all. "I am very grateful to have such a mentality change and experience in high school, which gave me an advantage over ordinary high school students, that is, initiative and self-confidence." Liu Xinyue said.
"Teacher Zhang told us after enrolling that secondary vocational students also have a way to go to university." Liu Xinyue said, "For example, the undergraduate programs that correspond to our major include Zhejiang Normal University and Ningbo University . My highest goal is Zhejiang Normal University. ”
Studying in high school is not easy. Liu Xinyue is in a vocational class, and all her classmates take individual exams. “So there are always people who work harder and are better than me.” "Two", the student who ranked first in the class was later admitted to Ningbo University's tourism major.
"I'm not good at memorizing, but I have to memorize three books for professional courses. The exam is taken together and the full score is 180." In order to get through the professional courses, Liu Xinyue gets up half an hour early every morning and goes to the playground to run five or six laps; after school in the afternoon, her head is on the top of her head. He writes a book, memorizes professional courses, and practices service etiquette.
"There is a great reading atmosphere at school, and I can memorize it very well, but I can't do it once I get home." The summer vacation before entering the third year of high school is the most critical vacation before the college entrance examination, but Liu Xinyue was lazy and did not endorse it because of luck. When I returned to school, I found that the gap with my classmates suddenly widened by more than 20 points.
"In order to catch up with the progress, I started the vicious cycle of junior high school again. I got up at four o'clock in the morning to endorse, but after the mock test results came out, I still collapsed and burst into tears. The class teacher secretly filmed the video. I saw it at the time and it was so ugly. I Don’t turn back into the ugly duckling you were in junior high, so wipe away your tears and get back to studying,” Liu Xinyue said.
She also mentioned that the classmates around her also helped her get rid of anxiety. Her roommate at the time often ran, studied with her, and cheered each other up. Later, her best friend also passed the Zhejiang Vocational and Technical College of Commerce and , and she often contacted her after work. Teachers of professional courses will also teach students and in layers. They will give separate papers and assign homework for undergraduate and higher vocational courses.
Later, Liu Xinyue was successfully admitted to Zhejiang Normal University through the single examination and single admission. She continued to bring the two advantages she cultivated in high school - initiative and self-confidence to university, and won the first place in her major and dozens of awards, and won National Scholarship, and also served as the president of the college's student union.
Liu Xinyue, who became a top student in college, began to consider taking the postgraduate entrance examination. "I was worried at first because my English scores were not ideal. But at this time, I like to explore areas that I have never been exposed to. When I was at West Lake Vocational High School, my head teacher Zhang suggested that I set goals and choose something that I could reach on tiptoe. .After receiving several provincial government scholarships and national scholarships, I felt that I could meet the threshold for graduate school. "
" The postgraduate entrance examination is more difficult than the college entrance examination. That is, there is no teacher guidance for the postgraduate entrance examination. When preparing for the examination, I would still have a "small breakdown every three days and a big breakdown every week." I almost made all the mistakes in English for the postgraduate entrance examination at the beginning. "Fortunately, Liu Xinyue read three books in high school and developed the habit of reviewing and making plans on her own. She was able to adjust herself more quickly when she took the postgraduate entrance examination, and finally succeeded.
"Behind this persistence is also an inertia of learning. . From a vocational school student to an undergraduate student, she not only regained her confidence, but also tasted the benefits of hard work, and her sense of accomplishment was also the driving force for progress. " Analysis by Zhang Yuan, the head teacher.
Currently, Liu Xinyue has returned to West Lake Vocational High School to participate in an educational internship. This experience has given her a sense of accomplishment as a teacher and a clearer plan for the future - "My current goal is to complete my graduate studies and improve my education. My own professional quality, my future career preference is secondary vocational teacher . "
" University gave me a broader platform and perspective, and also allowed me to truly understand that the path to further education for vocational high school students is no narrower than that for ordinary high school students. "Liu Xinyue said.
