The key to improving the attractiveness of vocational education lies in improving the evaluation sys

With the increasing demand for highly skilled talents in social development, how can more students and parents receive vocational education? For the high-quality development of vocational education, what topics do you expect the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress to pay attention to? On the eve of the convening of the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, the Social Survey Center of China Youth Daily jointly conducted a survey on the expectations of the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress of the People's Republic of The survey showed that 590% of the respondents agreed that their children would go to a higher or higher vocational school. For the development of vocational education, 537% of respondents expect the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress to pay attention to increasing incentives for outstanding skilled talents. 51.2% of respondents expect to improve the evaluation system for skilled talents and open up the development channel between senior technicians and engineers.

In recent years, the employment rate of secondary vocational and higher vocational graduates in China has exceeded 95% and 90% respectively. The employment rate of higher vocational graduates exceeds that of ordinary undergraduate graduates, which does not mean that vocational education itself has a stronger enrollment attraction. Many parents accept their children to go to secondary and higher vocational schools because their children cannot go to general high schools and do not meet the admission score of ordinary undergraduate colleges. In order to improve the attractiveness of secondary and higher vocational education, we should not be satisfied with letting secondary vocational and higher vocational graduates find jobs, but should improve the quality of employment and broaden the development space of skilled talents. We should not let the development of skilled talents lack stamina, and the development gap between highly educated talents is getting wider and wider, and it is necessary to establish an evaluation system for skilled talents that is different from academic talents, so that outstanding skilled talents no longer refer to academic talents for career development.

For the development of vocational college graduates, the society generally refers to a secondary vocational graduate, through higher vocational education, undergraduate, and then graduate school, and even studying abroad to study for a doctorate in a famous school, as "counterattack", but this "counterattack theory" also implies prejudice and discrimination against vocational education. The "counterattack" of vocational college graduates will not improve the attractiveness of vocational education, but will strengthen the awareness that the development space of skilled talents is not as good as that of academic talents. In the eyes of academic talents, the normal development path of success, for vocational college graduates, only a very small number of people can go through.

This is a problem caused by the evaluation of skilled talents with reference to the academic talent evaluation system. On the surface, this can give more room for the development of skilled talents, but in fact, if skilled talents are blindly included in the academic talent evaluation system, skilled talents may not have any advantage. In recent years, China has been committed to breaking through the "dead-end road of academic qualifications" in vocational education, abolishing the restrictions on the proportion of secondary vocational graduates going on to higher education, and expanding the proportion of higher vocational graduates who are promoted to higher education. However, if skilled talents are evaluated by their academic qualifications, the recognition of skilled talents is still lower than that of academic talents. Moreover, this will lead to vocational colleges running schools oriented by academic qualifications, pursuing to improve the academic qualifications of skilled talents, deviating from the employment-oriented positioning of vocational education, affecting the training quality of skilled talents, and further affecting the career development of skilled talents.

China's newly revised Vocational Education Law has clearly positioned vocational education as a type of education that develops on an equal footing with general education. This reverses the previous positioning of vocational education as a level of education that is one level lower than general education, and vocational education no longer refers to general education to run schools, but must form its own type of education characteristics. If the positioning of vocational education has always been hierarchical education, with reference to general education, then no matter how vocational education develops, it will not be able to obtain equal status and space with general education, and form its own characteristics of running schools.

In order to form the characteristics of vocational education, it is required that the evaluation of skilled talents should not only refer to the evaluation system of academic talents, but also form their own evaluation system, and the evaluation should focus on the skills of skilled talents and their actual post contributions. To establish such an evaluation system, it is necessary to let skilled talents get rid of the positioning of "hierarchical talents" and become "types of talents", and establish an evaluation system for types of talents. This can really play a role in motivating skilled talents, and also make skilled talents content to be skilled talents and improve their own career satisfaction.

The establishment of such a talent evaluation system is to break the current evaluation system of only academic qualifications, professional titles, and professional titles, establish an evaluation system that attaches importance to ability based on ability and actual contribution, and promote the society to shift from a society of academic qualifications to a society of ability. This can broaden each student's choice of success, choose general education or vocational education from the perspective that suits them, and become academic talents or skilled talents, instead of grading and grading education and talents, and choosing according to the level and level.
