Multiple choices under the diversion of the high school entrance examination: paving the way for children to succeed
When the wheels of time are driving into 2024, we can't help but look back at the high school entrance examination diversion policy implemented six years ago.
In the past six years, millions of children have failed to step into the threshold of high school because of this "diversion", as if they have been pushed to another path by the giant wheel of fate.
However, parents, please don't be discouraged, the failure of the high school entrance examination does not mean that your child's future is bleak.
In this highly competitive society, children still have multiple paths to choose from, and the key is to find the one that suits them best.
Five-year consistent higher vocational: college diploma, skills
The name "Five-year Consistent Higher Vocational System" may be unfamiliar to many parents, but the opportunities it provides are real.
This is a model of higher vocational education for junior high school graduates, where children will receive five years of systematic study, the first three years laying the foundation for secondary vocational education, and the last two years going deep into the field of higher vocational education.
After five years of study, they will obtain a nationally recognized "Full-time College Graduation Certificate from a General Higher Education School".
This certificate is quite well recognized in the society, although the certificate will indicate "five-year system" or "two-year secondary school starting point", but this does not prevent children from finding a suitable job in 60% of the companies.
"3+2" segmented higher vocational: flexible choice, technical secondary school or junior college up to you
Slightly different from the "five-year consistent higher vocational system", the "3+2 segmented higher vocational system" gives children more choices.
At the end of the first three years of secondary vocational education, children can choose whether or not to continue their education.
If they choose to continue their studies for two years, they will receive a two-year diploma, and if they choose to stop there, they can also go out into society with a secondary school diploma.
This flexible approach allows children to make the most suitable decision based on their interests and circumstances.
The road to technical school: skills in hand, not afraid to go all over the world
For those children who are interested in practical and professional skills, a technical school is undoubtedly an ideal choice.
In the technical school, children will learn a variety of practical skills, such as electrician operation, cooking cook, car maintenance, etc. These skills will help them stand out in the job market of the future.
The academic qualifications of technical schools are divided into two types: "middle technology" and "high technology", which are equivalent to technical secondary school and college degree respectively.
Through three or five years of study, children will have a solid skill set that will lay a strong foundation for future employment.
Direct learning of the craft: ingenuity and ingenuity, the achievement of extraordinary life
Of course, some children may not like the traditional schooling model, preferring to learn a trade directly. It's also a good choice.
Whether it's a craft, such as cooking, haircutting, grooming, or car repair, as long as children learn with their hearts, they have the potential to become the best in this field.
And, once mastered the craft, children may earn more in the future than even those with higher education.
Most importantly, owning a craft means having a stable career and a source of income.
Conclusion: Choose the most suitable path for your child and light up the light of the future
Looking back on the high school entrance examination diversion policy in the past six years, it is not difficult to find that although it has brought challenges and confusion to many families, it has also provided more choices and opportunities for children.
Whether you choose a "five-year consistent higher vocational system", "3+2 segmented higher vocational school", a technical school or a direct learning craft, the key is to find the most suitable path for your child.
Every child is a unique individual with their own interests, strengths and dreams.
As parents and educators, we should respect our children's choices, support their dreams, and pave a path to success.
At the same time, we must also see the deep-seated problems behind the policy of diversion of the high school entrance examination. It is not just a question of education policy, but also a social issue.
It reflects the demand and changes for talents in our society, and also reveals the uneven distribution of educational resources and the simplification of education models.
Therefore, we need to strengthen investment and support in vocational education and skills training from multiple aspects, promote the diversification and innovation of education models, and provide more choices and opportunities for children.
Finally, let's look forward to every child being able to shine on the road in the future!
