On the other hand, the admission rate of high schools in most provinces is around 50%, which means that only half of the students can go to general consideration. From this perspective, the senior high school entrance examination is really more difficult than the college entrance examination, which eliminated nearly half of the candidates.
This phenomenon leads to high school students being strict and lenient, which is due to the needs of social and professional development. The Ministry of Education has clearly pointed out that the enrollment scale of ordinary high schools and secondary vocational schools should be kept roughly equal in the future. This sentence means that half of junior high school graduates go to high school and half to vocational schools, which is determined by social development.
At present, the country needs a large number of basic skilled personnel. Assuming that the department relaxes the enrollment of ordinary high schools and a large number of junior high school graduates flood into high schools and then enter universities, then these theoretical universities will be seriously surplus, which will aggravate the difficulty of college students' employment. Moreover, the employment of college students has become a very difficult and realistic problem. On the other hand, it will cause a large number of skilled jobs to face unskilled workers, which will seriously affect the development of the whole social economy. Therefore, the diversion of senior high school entrance examination is a social and professional development.
The Ministry of Education announced that it would popularize high school education. Many parents and students misunderstand that universal high school education means that you can enter high school directly without taking the senior high school entrance examination. In fact, high school education includes: key high schools, ordinary high schools, vocational high schools, vocational secondary schools and so on. Junior high school graduates who have completed nine-year education decide which high school to attend according to the results of the senior high school entrance examination by taking part in the senior high school entrance examination.
Therefore, the state strictly controls the senior high school entrance examination in order to cultivate diversified talents. Students with poor grades can learn a skill through vocational high school or technical secondary school, and then find a job or improve their academic qualifications by single action.
