On the Development Prospect of Vocational High School

In most people's impression, the environment of vocational high school is very poor, and there are only all kinds of eating, drinking and having fun every day. Vocational high school is much worse than ordinary high school. Only those with poor grades will go to vocational high schools to learn cooking or auto repair. The following is my collection of the development prospects of vocational high schools, hoping to help everyone!

Talking about the development prospect of vocational high school 1 I recently chatted with the parents of senior one and senior three graduates. I told him that if the child's grades are average, it is better to send him to a vocational school to learn a skill, and he can also rely on his profession to eat in the future. Talking about the current situation of vocational education, this parent angrily recounted the chaos of vocational education, and left a sentence when he left: Never send a child to a vocational school if he is killed! As a front-line teacher of vocational education, I can't find a better language to refute him. Because every shortcoming of vocational school students he pointed out is no longer a case.

Undeniably, secondary vocational and technical education has been paid more and more attention in China, and the state is also vigorously supporting the development of vocational schools. "Free secondary vocational education will be provided to families with financial difficulties in rural areas, urban low-income families and students majoring in agriculture", and "the renovation of dilapidated buildings in rural primary and secondary schools and the construction of vocational education infrastructure will be accelerated". Premier xxx paid more attention to vocational education in the government work report. However, in the actual implementation process, it encountered many problems and embarrassment. For example, the state has invested heavily, enthusiastically supported it, and the society is indifferent; The disadvantages and difficulties exposed by vocational schools themselves in the process of perfection; And parents' biased understanding. This virtually sets a threshold for the healthy development of vocational education. Under the new situation, vocational education has encountered challenges from all aspects of society.

How to get vocational education out of the dilemma of public opinion has become the focus of publicity that vocational school enrollment leaders rack their brains every year. You know, deep-rooted ideas are hard to change. I think there are many reasons why vocational schools are not on fire.

First of all, about society

People compare society to a melting pot, so its inclusiveness and exclusion are quite obvious.

1

It can be said that the social evaluation of vocational education, which has just emerged in China, is not so positive, especially when people generally adhere to a "junior high school-senior high school-university" talent growth model and think that this is the right way. Choosing a vocational school is just a way of not doing it. Only students with poor learning or similar reasons can go to vocational schools. As an educational model, vocational education can only survive awkwardly in the cracks.

2. Public opinion; popular will

"Useless theory of vocational high schools" can be said to be everywhere, which is contrary to the view that "what China lacks most at present is technical talents". Regarding the former, there are nothing more than three types of people.

First, students themselves, some students don't study hard at school, muddle along, can't adapt to the self-discipline management mode of vocational schools, read for several years and learn nothing, so they put the blame on the school; There are also some students, because of their poor academic level, lack of necessary practical experience, too high requirements for jobs, can not work in a down-to-earth manner, but blame the school for being irresponsible.

Second, social enrollment personnel gossip, which has seriously affected the enrollment environment that should be pure. Social recruiters are tempted by interests, and some schools with poor students are tempted by high returns. Therefore, social recruiters, who aim at earning headcount fees, flatter advertising schools and scoff at other schools. Results The environment of students' actual study and life is quite different from the propaganda. The huge gap makes students unable to study with peace of mind, but points the finger at the school and then at the whole vocational education.

Third, some parents passed on word of mouth. Some parents think that they have finally completed their nine-year obligations, can't get into high school, and don't want to add to their burden. And often some children still want to go to technical secondary school to learn technology, then parents say: "What's the use of reading technical secondary school! I can't find a job after graduating from college. One of the general reasons is that I don't want to send it and talk about vocational schools everywhere. Other parents have high expectations for the school and think that their children can find a satisfactory job in a few years. If you are slightly dissatisfied, point the finger at the school. Moreover, most parents think that if I pay the fee, the children will belong to your school. Whether I can learn from Chengdu is a matter for the school. Learning well is a child's ambition. If you don't study well, you won't find anything to do at school. What's more, some parents place their hopes on the strict management of the school and neglect the discipline of their children. As we all know, the education mode and mode in vocational education stage are completely different from those in primary school and junior high school. Once a child goes bad, the school is the culprit. What is even more exasperating is that parents not only do not reflect on their mistakes, but also let their children take responsibility. On the contrary, it is useless to preach that the school is not good everywhere, which makes parents who originally wanted to send their children to school discouraged and has a very bad influence.

Step 3 publicize

The government's propaganda is not strong enough, and it is impossible to achieve the fundamental goal only by relying on the mixed propaganda of vocational schools, junior high schools and social recruiters. We can't really convey the relevant policies and safeguard measures of the country and some employment information to the masses, especially farmers. Therefore, people know little about the importance of vocational education. If we can publicize vocational education as we did then, such as literacy, realizing two basics and nine-year compulsory education, I believe the people will understand and support vocational education better.

Second, about schools.

Schools should consider from two levels.

First, under the pressure of the government and the higher education authorities, junior high school takes the completion of the prescribed quota enrollment as its ultimate goal, and has never really cared about the future of students, let alone the situation of vocational schools. If we don't really pay attention to students' growth, we can't feedback effective information to their schools in time, and the problems and practical difficulties that students usually show can't be solved in time. This has brought some difficulties to the management of secondary vocational schools, making their work mostly in a passive state.

Second, there are many problems in vocational schools.

First of all, quality awareness is not strong. Making money is its main purpose. Quality is the most important trump card and lifeline for schools to survive. However, some schools rely too much on government funding, too much on the number of students and too much on the pursuit of profit maximization. As long as students are fooled, it is their business to learn or not, thus ignoring the quality of life. The state is willing to spend money now, and allocates a lot of money every year, such as "sunshine project payment", "rural labor transfer and resettlement fee" and "subsidy for poor students", but ordinary people don't know these.

Secondly, hardware is more important than software. With the strong support of the country, advanced experimental equipment has been introduced, and the campus environment is beautiful. However, it ignores the important construction of teachers and the daily management of schools. The quality of teachers is mixed, some teachers don't understand education at all, their educational concepts are backward and their sense of responsibility is not strong. At the same time, the evaluation of teachers lacks the necessary scale. However, the daily management of the school has not been paid enough attention. It should be noted that technical secondary school students are generally students with learning difficulties in junior high school, including a series of problem students with poor academic performance, poor discipline and behavior, and poor performance in peacetime. However, the management mode of vocational schools is either too strict or too loose, and a set of management methods suitable for secondary school students has not been found. At present, the research in this field in China is not perfect.

Again, as long as the source doesn't care about the original. Driven by interests, vocational schools blindly expand their enrollment. "Milk is mother." No matter what the quality of students is, recruiting one counts as one. As long as you enter this door, you can cultivate them into a mold. As everyone knows, some students have no intention to study at all, but come to muddle along; But there are also students who learn technology because of their poor cultural achievements. Don't say "feed in different slots", at least provide a good environment for those students who want to learn real skills, and don't let those indifferent students ruin the atmosphere of the school and class!

Third, about the family.

China people always care about face, and their children's schooling has become an important symbol of the rise and fall of their parents' families. It is orthodox to go to college in high school now. Compared with universities, vocational education can only be regarded as a new thing in China. Most people haven't really realized its importance, and every family seems more willing to use the word "university" to spur their children. Especially among the neighbors whose children are admitted to college, parents have higher expectations for their children. No matter what the actual situation of children is, we must compare with them. Even if you spend money to buy places, you have to enter high school, and you can't get into the key points. As long as it is a high school, it seems to some parents that high school is the most important indicator to measure their children's intelligence and future. In a sense, students are really reading for their parents.

First, many parents like to go to extremes. First, they stick to the "useless theory of secondary vocational education" and reject vocational education from the bottom of their hearts, thinking it is a waste of money. Except for some vocational schools, it does leave a shadow in the hearts of parents. On the one hand, because they are poor, they can't afford tuition and miscellaneous fees of several thousand yuan a year, and they have doubts about vocational schools, so they simply send their children to learn from teachers. On the other hand, parents believe that the nine-year compulsory education has been completed and their legal obligations have been fulfilled. Since I can't go to a good high school, I can only work to support my family. Or see other people's children don't go to junior high school, they can earn money to build buildings, and they can't afford to send their children to school.

Second, some parents regard technical secondary schools as "nurseries". There is no doubt that middle schools recruit students who have no hope of going to high school, but they are not shelters. Most students are just not as good at studying as others. Once you meet something you like to do, you will show unlimited potential, and the prospects are not worse than those with excellent academic performance. And some parents with good families don't want their children to go out to work too early and suffer hardships, and they don't want their children to stay at home and do nothing, so technical secondary school has become their ideal place. Sending them to school and spending some money is their only purpose, but they want peace and don't ask about their studies. In two or three years, when the children are older, they will be relieved to go out again. Therefore, there is still a long way to go to change these concepts of parents.

Four. The reality of individual students Judging from the enrollment of students in secondary vocational schools in recent years, combined with the actual situation of students after entering school, it can be said that a considerable number of students have weakened their understanding and acceptance of theoretical learning. The reason for this is the following：

(1) quite a few students are not diligent enough;

(2) There is a gap between some students' learning ability, intelligence and memory ability and those with higher entrance scores in the past;

(3) Although some students are smart, they are not suitable for or very suitable for the education acceptance mode of instilling knowledge in classrooms and books, and their learning effect is not good;

(4) It is not excluded that some students have dyslexia. According to international research, this disease is not a disease, nor is it that learners are mentally retarded or unsound, but that they cannot adapt to the reading and writing comprehension of conventional education. Edison, Einstein and others are all dyslexics. Such people may need special teaching methods. After solving such problems, they often show special intelligence or creativity.

At the beginning of the new year, there has been a "labor shortage" in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, especially for middle-level workers who graduated from vocational schools. It can be said that secondary vocational school students have always been a hot potato. In recent years, China's vocational education has shown a good development trend, the number of students enrolled in vocational schools has been increasing, and the employment situation is very good. Experts pointed out that compared with ordinary high schools, vocational education has three incomparable advantages: paying attention to practical skills, obtaining "double certificates" after graduation and taking the college entrance examination after graduation.

Throughout the vocational education in developed countries, we pay attention to the cultivation of students' practical ability and advocate that "schools are factories and classrooms are workshops". At present, well-run vocational schools in China are working hard in this direction. Everything will inevitably encounter many problems in the process of development. The process of maturity is actually the process of contradictions constantly emerging and solving. Although there are still some problems in vocational education in China, we have reason to believe that the spring of vocational education is coming quietly, and the future of vocational education in China will be even better!

Talking about the development prospect of the second year of vocational high school This month, I visited many rural farmers, contacted many parents of students, and also contacted some high school graduates who just left home after the college entrance examination. On the hot topic of whether junior high school graduates should go to ordinary high schools or vocational high schools, I really see the prospect and helplessness of rural education in China. Fortunately, every student's parents have a * * * knowledge: children must study and read useful books that can learn knowledge, so they firmly believe that as long as children are willing to study, even if they sell iron, they should send their children to school. Unfortunately, the other side of students' parents' life concept: regardless of their children's grades and IQ, they all think that they must complete ordinary high school education, which is called reading. As for vocational high schools, they have already lost their way in the torrent of enrollment and can't find the other side where their children can sail. Therefore, it is natural that some parents, instigated by some admissions staff, let their children enter schools that they did not intend to enter, and tragedy happened.
