To explain the division between ordinary universities and technical colleges, we must start with the education system in Taiwan Province Province. In particular, the explanation of senior vocational schools is very important for the understanding of technical and vocational colleges, which is also the reason why the technical and vocational system in Taiwan Province Province is generally much better than that on the other side.
The following is an overview and explanation of the education system in Taiwan Province Province:
Kindergarten, primary school, junior high school and large class for 3 years-> Primary school for 6 years-> Junior high school for 3 years-> 3 years in high school/3 years in higher vocational school/3 years in comprehensive high school/5 years in five-year junior college-> Ordinary university, 4-year /4-year college, 4-year /2-year college, 2-year /2-year college-> 2-year master's degree program-> Postgraduate doctoral degree for 4 years.
Kindergartens are called kindergartens in Chinese mainland, while primary schools are called primary schools in Taiwan Province Province.
Junior high school is referred to as junior high school, which is equivalent to junior high school in the mainland. If you want to enter a higher school from junior high school, you must take the entrance examination, which is called the basic academic ability test, which is equivalent to the senior high school entrance examination in the mainland. 20 1 1 Taipei, Xinbei and Keelung take separate exams, which are called the North-North-North-based senior high school entrance examination. According to the results of this test, you can choose to apply for and be assigned to a senior middle school, a senior vocational school, a comprehensive high school or a five-year junior college according to your personal ambition. Some people enter high school art classes, music classes or high school physical education classes as special sports students. These educational systems are the same as those of art students and physical education students in Chinese mainland.
Senior middle schools, like Chinese mainland, are called high schools for short. Nearly half of junior high school students in Taiwan Province Province will choose to study the senior high school system after graduation, mainly to cultivate the ability of basic subjects. Most students who have a good foundation in junior high school or a good family will choose to go to high school. In order to enter colleges and universities, high schools must take the university subject ability test, which is called academic test. According to the test results, they can apply to ordinary universities or four-year technical and vocational colleges, and then they can take the tests of the subjects designated by the universities. With this achievement, I entered an ordinary university. Senior high schools in Taiwan Province Province also study for three years, and I will start grouping when I am a senior one and a senior two. In Taiwan Province Province, liberal arts is called social group (also called the first group), and science is called natural group, which is divided into the second group and the third group who study more than one subject. Most girls will choose the first and third groups, while boys will choose the second and third groups. Due to the profound concept of attaching importance to literature in Taiwan Province Province, in recent years, the number of people who choose the natural group has gradually increased. Famous public high schools in Taiwan Province Province, such as Jianguo Middle School in Taipei, Yi Bei Girls' Middle School, Middle School Attached to Normal University, Chenggong High School and Zhongshan Girls' Middle School, Wuling High School in Taoyuan County, Taichung No.1 Middle School and Taichung Girls' Middle School in Taichung City, Kaohsiung Middle School and Kaohsiung Girls' Middle School in Kaohsiung City, have many students admitted to top universities and medical departments such as Qing Zheng every year. If high school students in art classes, music classes and physical education classes want to further their studies in art, music, physical education or other related majors in universities, they must not only take the entrance examination, but also pass the technical examination. They should take the college entrance examination+unified examination results like mainland art students.
Higher vocational schools in Taiwan Province Province are called higher vocational schools, which are similar to those in Chinese mainland. Different from the technical and vocational system in mainland China, there is another entrance examination for higher vocational education, which is called the unified examination for four skills and two majors. You can enter a four-year technical and vocational college or select an ordinary university. A good technical and vocational college can also be equivalent to two universities in Chinese mainland or even 2 1 1.
More than half of junior high school graduates will choose to study in higher vocational colleges. In the early days, some students from poor families or who want to learn skills earlier will choose to study in this academic system. In recent years, the scores of higher vocational colleges have been greatly improved, which can attract many students who are admitted to good high schools at the same time. The main reason for this phenomenon is that they can learn practical skills to get jobs or take technical and vocational exams in advance to enter technical and vocational colleges and even ordinary universities. Therefore, the level of higher vocational colleges in Chinese mainland is far better than that of secondary vocational schools and vocational high schools.
Higher vocational education takes three years, which is mainly divided into advanced engineering (advanced industrial vocational school) and advanced business (advanced commercial vocational school). There are many specialties, including construction machinery, sheet metal, casting, automobile, information, motor, electronics, civil engineering, architecture, chemical industry and so on. Accounting affairs, data processing, statistics, business design, advertising design, interior design, business management, foreign language application, international trade, etc. There are also some family or agricultural vocational schools. Well-known public vocational colleges such as Tai 'an Senior Engineer and Shilin Senior Engineer in Taipei, Taichung Senior Engineer and Taichung Businessmen in Taichung, etc. Other well-known vocational colleges include traditional eight-province workers and eight-province businessmen. These schools are admitted to Taiwan Province University of Science and Technology, National Taipei University of Science and Technology and Yunlin University every year, and are the top three technical and vocational colleges in Taiwan Province Province. Even after the public selection of ordinary universities in the past two years, some higher vocational colleges have been admitted to famous ordinary universities in China, such as Zhengsi Middle School, a youth course.
There is also a comprehensive high school system, which is between high school and higher vocational education. It belongs to the new system of secondary education in Taiwan Province Province in recent ten years. You can take the senior high school entrance examination or higher vocational education, but because both sides have to prepare, it is a bit like learning everything but not mastering it, but it is relatively unpopular.
The rest, please find it yourself. The education mode of middle school students in Chinese mainland is basically written examination, and there are many exams. After all, the entrance exam is mainly a paper-and-pencil exam. There are many admission channels in Taiwan Province Province, which they call diversified admission. In addition to the traditional written examination, they also pay attention to the school performance, including the talents in conduct and sports, which is helpful for applying for independent enrollment in colleges and universities in the future.
