Qingdao explored the implementation of general vocational integration in 2016. The city has been subdivided into three modes: vocational integration, comprehensive high school and new vocational integration.

More than 6600 ordinary high school students transfer to vocational schools every year. In the face of the past diversion of "non-general employment", vocational integration has undoubtedly created more choices and opportunities for students to become talents. The academic difficulty of ordinary high schools has increased significantly. For a long time, the atmosphere of vocational schools is not strong and basic learning is not easy.
