What is a vocational high school?

Vocational high school, the full name of vocational high school, is a vocational middle school, a combination of general education and vocational education, and a secondary vocational education in high school.

Most of them were rebuilt from ordinary high schools on the basis of the reform of secondary education structure in the 1980s, and their training objectives are similar to those of secondary vocational schools. Vocational high school is admitted after graduating from junior high school, with a schooling of 3 years. After graduation, it is "vocational high school" education. You can take the corresponding college entrance examination and continue to study in higher vocational schools, or you can take the general college entrance examination and continue to go to college.

The difference between vocational high schools and ordinary high schools is that vocational high schools train laborers and employees with medium professional ability. Vocational high schools are divided into various types of work, and ordinary high schools are not divided into professional types of work. Vocational high schools require both culture and vocational skills, while ordinary high schools require culture to be important.

The requirements for students in vocational high schools are: having skills, knowledge, professional ethics and operational skills that can directly engage in a certain occupation; Basic cultural courses should be equivalent to the level of ordinary high schools.

Full-time vocational high school education mainly recruits junior high school graduates or people with equivalent academic qualifications. The academic system lasts for 3 years, and a vocational high school diploma will be issued after graduation. After taking the college entrance examination, students can choose their own schools in higher vocational colleges according to their grades.
