An empirical study shows that students' satisfaction with secondary vocational schools, their understanding of schools and their parents' support are important factors affecting their choice of high school education. In a word, the attraction of secondary vocational education is the decisive factor that affects the choice of education in senior high school. Therefore, to achieve the goal of popularizing high school education in 2020, the key lies in improving the attractiveness of secondary vocational education through practical measures.

First of all, it is necessary to clarify the key position of secondary vocational education in the talent training system, coordinate the development of ordinary high school education and secondary vocational education, increase the enrollment ratio of secondary vocational education, make the enrollment scale of general vocational education roughly equal, and focus on expanding the secondary vocational education resources in areas with low vocational education ratio. Local governments at all levels must recognize the important role of secondary vocational education in serving local economic and social development, gradually improve the funding guarantee system for secondary vocational education, strengthen the implementation of the funding guarantee system for secondary vocational education, and mainly use the "increment" of the enrollment scale of high school education for the development of secondary vocational education. Secondary vocational schools should actively carry out activities such as "Vocational Education Activity Week" and "Vocational School Experience Day" to attract more families to pay attention to and understand vocational education. Parents should also change the stereotype of secondary vocational education and help children choose an educational path that is more suitable for their own development.

Secondly, improve the modern vocational education system and comprehensively improve the education quality of secondary vocational education. On the one hand, it is necessary to build an "overpass" for secondary vocational education, improve the linkage mechanism between secondary vocational education and higher vocational education, and open the rising channel for students to further their studies. On the other hand, it is necessary to establish a cooperation mechanism between ordinary high schools and secondary vocational schools, explore "mutual recognition of courses, mutual recognition of credits and mutual exchange of resources", establish a unified enrollment platform for secondary vocational schools and ordinary high schools, and implement the general requirements. In addition, we must implement the autonomy of running schools, let schools run their own characteristics and individuality, concentrate on building a number of high-level vocational schools, and run a number of specialties with characteristics and advantages that meet local economic and social needs.
