After the results of the high school entrance examination are released, a considerable number of junior high school graduates are very hesitant about choosing to attend ordinary high schools or secondary vocational schools. Do you know these things about secondary vocational schools?
What is secondary vocational education ?
In my country's national education system , the vast majority of junior high school graduates who have completed nine years of compulsory education will continue to receive high school education. High school education is divided into two parts: general high school education and secondary vocational education. Secondary vocational education is a type of education that cultivates technical skills talents for all walks of life. Its training goal is to enable students to master professional and technical skills through learning and practice, and to be able to successfully find a job after graduation. They can also advance to undergraduate and junior colleges to receive higher education through channels such as counterpart enrollment and independent enrollment in higher vocational colleges.

The difference between ordinary high schools and secondary vocational schools

The difference in admission threshold: ordinary high schools have higher requirements for high school entrance examination scores; except for some of the more popular secondary vocational schools and majors, a considerable number of secondary vocational schools do not have high requirements for high school entrance examination scores. As long as you are willing to continue studying, you can enroll.
2. Differences in learning content: Ordinary high schools are oriented towards further studies, focusing on the study of cultural knowledge such as language and mathematics; secondary vocational schools are oriented towards employment promotion, and on the basis of learning necessary cultural knowledge, more emphasis is placed on learning professional knowledge and vocational skills. The learning methods are more flexible and diverse, and more emphasis is placed on hands-on practice.

What is the teaching quality of secondary vocational schools?
The professional teaching in secondary vocational schools has strict standards. Since 2014, the Ministry of Education has announced 230 professional teaching standards, which are the basic basis for clarifying training objectives and specifications, organizing and implementing teaching, standardizing teaching management, strengthening professional construction, developing teaching materials and learning resources. It is also the main yardstick for evaluating the quality of school education and teaching, and is also an important reference for social employers to select graduates from secondary vocational schools.
