How to seize the opportunities and dividends of this wave of changes when the compulsory diversion from general posts to general posts is cancelled?

1. What is the core content of policy changes?

1. The law confirms that vocational education and general education have the same status

? The new version of the "Vocational Education Law" clarifies that vocational education is a type of education that has the same important status as general education. It is clear that the state encourages the development of multiple levels and forms of vocational education, strives to increase the recognition of vocational education, establish and improve the vocational education system, deepen the integration of industry and education, school-enterprise cooperation, and improve vocational education guarantee systems and measures.

? This means that "vocational school students enjoy equal opportunities with ordinary school students of the same level in obtaining higher education qualifications, employment, etc." In order to ensure the reality of this policy, it also stipulates that "by 2025 The annual scale of vocational undergraduate education shall not be less than 10% of higher vocational education; the social status and treatment of technical and skilled talents shall be improved; employers shall not set application, recruitment, employment conditions that hinder the equal employment of vocational school graduates, etc., as policies. The implementation of the system will guarantee the leveling of vocational education and general education in terms of academic qualifications, which will become another development direction for students' academic planning. It will lay the foundation for blue-collar workers and white-collar workers to no longer be distinguished from each other, and it will be beneficial to the development of China's education. Global impact.

2. The training of students will focus on both academic qualifications and employment

This means that for students who face the "diversion from general vocational education" after the high school entrance examination, in secondary vocational schools If you go to school, you will also have the conditions and resources to pursue high-level education, and the academic ceiling is being broken. Secondary vocational education is the starting point rather than the end of vocational education, and it also bears the mission of cultivating "whole people." This change is a good signal sent by the country to the public, that is, my country's secondary vocational education is transforming from "employment-oriented education" to "vocational basic education." "Equal emphasis on employment and academic qualifications" means "walking on two legs", giving students more choices and making the best use of their talents.

2. Why should the country promote educational reform?

1. As a support for the national strategy, it is necessary to reserve a large number of technical talents.

? In the 14th Five-Year Plan, China’s future development positioning is: to unswervingly build a manufacturing power with high quality. A powerful country, a cyber power, and a digital China. To achieve this goal, talent reserve must be a top priority. my country's current shortage of skilled talents will reach 30 million in 2025, and strengthening the real economy requires a large number of skilled talents.

2. Society’s discrimination against vocational school qualifications has led to the involution of compulsory education

In the past, the positioning of vocational education was vague, which has also led to the widespread phenomenon in current society. The idea of ??valuing academic qualifications over skills. For a long time, vocational education has been considered "inferior". After graduating from junior high school, you cannot go to university if you study in a secondary vocational school. Some vocational school graduates are taking exams for recruitment by public institutions and institutions. In the past, the burden reduction policy under the separation of general posts directly made everyone's anxiety level "full". The operation of dividing vocational high schools and ordinary high schools has caused nearly half of the students to be eliminated in the competition for the high school entrance examination and can only study in secondary vocational schools, directly losing their admission tickets to higher education institutions. Many parents of children who were originally in primary school felt like they were facing a formidable enemy, and some manipulations in disguise brought the turning point of their lives that was originally a higher education institution much earlier. In recent years, social survival anxiety has spread almost from workers to primary school students. As a result, for many parents, the diversion from general vocational schools is a more terrifying nightmare than higher education. In order to prevent their children from going to vocational schools, parents give birth to children early. They fought hard to get into good elementary and junior high schools. The involution of education is largely due to this.

3. Unemployment of college students, lack of skilled talents, and imbalanced talent development

? The number of undergraduate graduates in 2021 has reached a new high, reaching 10.78 million, and 40% of fresh graduates cannot find a job. , the knowledge learned and the skills needed for employment have been misaligned, and the talents who have graduated from undergraduate courses have overflowed. The country has begun to implement double reductions, crack down on a series of educational reforms such as housing in school districts, exemption from examinations, nearby admissions, and upgrading of vocational education. If we If we want to be like Germany, which has built more than 2,300 advanced brands and more than 800 century-old enterprises with strong technology with only a population of 80 million, our education system must change, especially vocational education.

3. Changes bring overall impact

1. Contribute to the orderly circulation of talents and promote the cultivation of highly skilled talents

? Let vocational education Leveling academic qualifications with general education has become another development direction for students' academic planning, laying the foundation for blue-collar and white-collar workers to no longer be distinguished from superior to inferior. There is a positive cycle of achieving more and more in-depth vocational education, more and more students are willing to take the initiative to receive vocational education in the system, and the country has more and more high-tech talents. The upgrading of vocational education is only a matter of time, and the improvement of vocational education is an inevitable trend. All of this provides talents with an opportunity to compete fairly, allowing talents to flow in a more orderly manner and are no longer restricted by external factors such as educational background. Education helps cultivate skilled talents and prepare sufficient talent reserves for the country’s strategy

2. Leave room for children’s inner-driven development

? Cancel the diversion of general vocational education and allow Children will not participate in adults' competitive anxiety prematurely, leaving room for the development of internal drives. Each student's nature is different, some are more suitable for technical practice, and some are more suitable for academic research. Students should not be stratified by objective data such as high school entrance examination scores, but should respect their nature.

4. How to seize the opportunity dividends brought by changes?

In the longer term, this will help optimize the educational structure, realize the strategy of "powering the country with talents", assist the development of the national economy, and help realize the "Chinese Dream" of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

3. Parents - release the anxiety of educational involution and respect the natural development of children

?
