The main differences between vocational high school and technical school are as follows:
1.Establishment Purpose and Nature:
Vocational high schools (vocational high schools) are secondary vocational schools developed on the basis of reforming the educational structure, most of which are reconstructed from ordinary middle schools and are part of high schools. Vocational high school requires equal emphasis on knowledge and technology, and pays attention to the study of cultural courses and the cultivation of vocational skills.
Technical schools (technical schools) are mainly supervised by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security or the Ministry of Labor, with a focus on learning and training professional and technical personnel, and issuing technical certificates and technical school graduation certificates, rather than academic diplomas issued by the Ministry of Education.
2.Duration and Content:
The duration of vocational high school is usually three years, which has certain requirements for cultural courses, and at the same time, professional courses will be studied.
The academic system of technical schools is relatively diverse, including one-year, two-year, three-year, four-year, five-year, etc., and the requirements for cultural courses are relatively low, mainly focusing on the training of practical skills.
3.Enrollment Target:
Technical schools mainly recruit junior high school graduates and some high school graduates.
Vocational high schools mainly recruit junior high school and high school graduates.
4.Teaching methods and archival storage:
The technical school takes professional skills training as the main body and pays attention to the cultivation of practical operation ability.
Vocational high schools focus on the study of cultural courses (such as Chinese, mathematics, foreign languages) and professional courses.
In terms of file storage, the files of technical schools can be stored in the district and county talent service centers and other file storage institutions under the Personnel BureauThe files of vocational high school and technical school students are usually stored only on the street.
5.Recognition and social needs:
Although both are vocational education, the social recognition of vocational high schools may be slightly higher than that of technical schools, in part because vocational high schools may be more selective in terms of the types of majors available.
For students who wish to progress to higher education, vocational high school may be a better option;And for students who want to master their skills as quickly as possible, technical schools may be more suitable.
In general, vocational high schools and technical schools are set up to meet the career development needs of different students, they have their own focus, and the choice of which is better depends on the individual's career planning and interests. When actually choosing, factors such as the school's teaching quality, major setting, and employment prospects should be considered.
