[Explanation] In recent years, the promulgation of the "20 Vocational Education", the implementation of the country's "1 million enrollment expansion" policy, and the removal of restrictions on entering secondary vocational students have brought rare historical development opportunities to the development of secondary vocational education.

It is no longer a fantasy that the "poor students" in the vocational vocational school, who are inherent in the common sense, want to go to university or undergraduate.

On November 20th, in the Shuxing Vocational Middle School in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, the students majoring in Finance and Economics of Grade 2018 were studying cultural courses under the leadership of their teachers.

　　I entered the tourism service and management major of this Shuxing Vocational Middle School in September 2018. I am now in my third year of high school and I am about to graduate.

I am preparing to take the exam of Cheng Vocational College (Chengdu Vocational College).

Now that you have chosen a junior college, you can go to a bachelor's degree, as long as you have excellent grades.

　　[Explanation] It is understood that the school, as a key vocational middle school in Sichuan Province, has opened three major categories including information technology, finance and commerce and tourism services.

Chen Hua, the vice president of the school, introduced that with the implementation of national policies, vocational education has gradually begun to be "linked" to entering higher education. The college entrance examination is no longer a "single bridge" for secondary vocational students to realize their dreams. There are more and more channels for secondary vocational students to enter a higher education. The public’s prejudice towards vocational education is gradually being "broken."

　　Under the guidance of the national policy, the channels for vocational students to enter higher education are very smooth.

Generally speaking, it is possible to go to colleges and universities through the "five-year consistent system", which is a way of connecting middle and high schools.

Another is that you can participate in the higher vocational single recruits organized by various colleges and universities, and you can enter in this way.

There is also our counterpart higher vocational teacher training class.

In other words, there are three ways for vocational students to enter colleges.

It's just that now more parents are not only satisfied with studying at a junior college level, they hope to enter a higher level of undergraduate study.

　　[Explanation] Wu Juan, director of the school’s development planning office, believes that the current "dual channels" of vocational education employment and further studies have also formed a virtuous circle between basic skills and cultural literacy, which has further improved the basic quality of students .

　　Even if he is in the environment of entering a higher school, he is not completely stuck on books. They have a process of practice in terms of their application and practical operation ability.

Returning to our traditional classroom through the process of practice, such as exams, such as textbook study, I think their benign interaction is particularly good.

The overall feeling (yes) the maturity of the students is much higher than that of the students in previous years.

　　[Explanation] In the view of Ji Dahai, director of the Sichuan Institute of Innovation and Education, the establishment of "overpasses" for general vocational interchange has given secondary vocational students more choices in life planning, but a high degree is not the only way to develop.

Vocational education should find its own position and focus on the cultivation of students' basic qualities. Now that skilled talents are "scarce", more professionals should be imported into the society.

　　In fact, in the whole world, 360 rows can be the champion.

Don't always think that your child will be "dead" if you can't enter a key high school or college. This is a wrong perception.

Academic qualifications are also necessary for social recognition, but I think we need to change social perceptions; second, we must change our vocational education’s own positioning of ourselves; third, especially, it is also very important to let students truly It is very important that vocational education has achieved relatively complete development.

This kind of development requires our vocational education to have a clear understanding and guide them consciously.
