Title: The fate of 30 million children: Where did those who couldn't get into high school go?
China has a population of nearly 1.4 billion, more than half of whom are teenagers. Every year, nearly 10 million students across the country take the high school entrance examination, and only about 60% of them can successfully enter ordinary high schools, while the fate of the remaining 40%, or about 30 million children, is often overlooked. So, what will happen to these children who have not been admitted to high school?
First of all, we need to understand that not being able to get into high school does not mean that there is no hope for the future of these children. In fact, there are many choices in their life path. For example, they can choose to go to a vocational school to learn a trade, or they can choose to go to work and gain some social experience. It's all part of their lives, and it's how they grow up.
However, the reality is that the future of these children who did not enter high school is full of uncertainty. On the one hand, they are relatively less competitive in the job market due to the lack of necessary education. On the other hand, they also have a relatively low status in society due to the prejudice and discrimination in society.
In China, it is generally believed that only by passing the college entrance examination and entering the university can you get a good job and have a good future. This perception has led many parents and children to see high school as the only way out. However, this notion ignores the fact that everyone's talents and interests are different, and not everyone is suitable for the academic route.
For those children who don't get into high school, what they need is more understanding and support, not stress and discrimination. What they need is more opportunities and platforms to discover and develop their potential and realize their life values.
Therefore, we need to change our perceptions and attitudes towards these people. We need to recognize that everyone has their own values and abilities, whether they are admitted to high school or not. We need to provide them with more opportunities and resources to help them find their own development path.
At the same time, we need to reform our education system to make higher education accessible to more people. We need to improve the status and quality of vocational education so that children who don't get into high school have more options.
In general, the future of those children who are not admitted to high school is not dark. As long as we give them enough attention and support, they can find their own light. Let's work together to cheer for their future!
