An ordinary middle school in Zhejiang reminds students not to mix with vocational high school students.

"Don't mix with unhealthy teenagers or vocational high school students to prevent being cheated or bullied." This sentence appeared in the short message notice sent to parents by Xingzhi Middle School in Haiyan County, Zhejiang Province on June 25th, 65438. At the same time, there were warm reminders such as "Slow down when walking" and it was signed as "Moral Education Office of Xingzhi Middle School".

In the evening, netizen "Cuisine 233" posted a screenshot of this short message on Weibo. The netizen said that he saw this forwarded short message in QQ space. "The comments in the text message have seriously hurt the feelings of our vocational college students. I hope that more people will know about this situation by sending Weibo and ask Xingzhi Middle School to apologize. "

After this short message was exposed by Weibo, it attracted a lot of attention. Netizen "Late Summer 1573" commented: "What happened to vocational high school students? Why do they look at people with colored glasses? Teachers are a sacred and pure profession, and every student should be treated fairly, even if it is not a school. "

"Netizen dannylu0 10 1" thinks that as an engineer who molds the human soul in an educational institution, it is very inappropriate and immoral to send such short messages. This is naked discrimination and a great disrespect for vocational schools and their students. I hope the school will strengthen the education of teachers' morality and style to eliminate the bad influence.

Late that night, the controversial Xingzhi Middle School in Haiyan County issued an apology message on its official Weibo: "The contents of our school's short message about students returning to school tomorrow, including the comments and wording of vocational high school students, have seriously hurt the feelings of vocational high school students and the reputation of vocational schools. We apologize for this and sincerely apologize to vocational high school students, parents and vocational schools. We will take this as a warning and learn from it. Thank you for your concern and hope to get your understanding. "

This incident is a microcosm of the education system's long-term contempt for vocational education, not an accidental phenomenon. Yu, vice president of China Vocational and Technical Education Association, said in an interview with China Youth Daily that it is inappropriate to compare vocational colleges with unhealthy teenagers in society. In addition, some voices circulating in the society at ordinary times, such as "vocational students are double poor students" and "vocational education is second-rate education", are unfair.

Yu pointed out that this message was sent by the Moral Education Department of Xingzhi Middle School, which also made us question the moral education of this middle school. "All parties should reflect and establish a comprehensive view of moral education."

The "Evaluation Report on the Implementation Effect of State Subsidy Policy for Secondary Vocational Education" recently released by China Development Research Foundation shows that in secondary vocational schools, students generally feel that they are not understood and respected. Because most secondary vocational school students are "poor students" in the traditional sense, the concept that vocational education is second-rate education is deeply rooted in the concepts of many principals, teachers and students.

Gao Guoqing, director of the office of the China Development Research Foundation, said that in the process of investigating the implementation effect of the state-funded secondary vocational education policy, they found a lot of discrimination. "In fact, vocational schools attach great importance to quality education for students, and most vocational schools put ideological and moral cultivation in the first place in daily teaching. Some vocational colleges also adopt semi-military management to strictly manage students' daily study and life. "

Jin Yang, director of the Institute of Vocational and Technical Education Center of the Ministry of Education, believes that from this incident, we can see that there are still some prejudices against vocational education in society, and the social status of vocational education is not high and its attraction is not strong. In fact, vocational education is a very important part of the education system, which undertakes the sacred mission of cultivating technical and skilled talents and high-quality workers.

Jin Yang pointed out that talents in all fields should be respected by the education department. "We should respect labor itself and change our prejudice against vocational students. Society needs scientists, engineers, technicians and skilled workers. " (Intern Rulu)
