Cancellation of the "Five-Year Plan" policy for the senior high school entrance examination refers to the cancellation of the past ubiquitous examination diversion system, and students will no longer be diverted to different types of schools such as key middle schools and ordinary high schools according to the results of the senior high school entrance examination.

The cancellation of the five-year entrance examination policy is regarded as an important breakthrough in education equity, which is expected to provide all students with equal learning opportunities and development space, so that each child can freely choose the school and subject that suits him according to his own interests, specialties and wishes. This will effectively narrow the gap between urban and rural education and the gap between rich and poor, and promote the balanced distribution of educational resources.

The Ministry of Education needs to further improve relevant policies and systems to ensure that students' rights and interests match the ability of schools.

Extended introduction:

The idea of "five-five diversion" does exist, so "five-five diversion" and "five-five diversion" are confused intentionally or unintentionally. The actual situation is that the training objects of vocational education in the "Five-Five Diversion" include not only junior high school graduates, but also "social personnel", that is to say, the purpose of vocational education is to cultivate vocational skills for the whole society, rather than forcing half of junior high school graduates to accept them.

It is unacceptable for many parents to let their children give up ordinary high schools to learn a skill. Children have no chance to go to high school, are not qualified to do better jobs, and can only be blue-collar. In contrast, parents prefer their children to go to college and then take the civil service exam, or devote themselves to scientific research. In this way, the implementation of "55 shunt" has dashed the hopes of many parents.

Different from today's diversion, in the last century, China's educational resources were not as rich as they are now, so a considerable number of junior high school graduates could not go to school because of academic performance or family economic conditions, but directly entered the society and began to work to earn money to support their families.

There is a misunderstanding that there was no diversion before. In fact, for junior high school graduates, the choice of learning or learning skills has always existed. Only for the current junior high school graduates, unless they want to, there is basically no option to "not go to school".

The Ministry of Education responded:

Relevant personnel of the Ministry of Education said in an interview that the ratio of ordinary high schools to vocational high schools has not yet been officially promulgated 1: 1, but only advocated approaching this number. However, parents should have a correct understanding of vocational high schools. Nowadays, it is getting harder and harder for college students to find jobs, which has been kept at around 70%, while the employment rate of students who have just graduated from a certain major or craft can reach 90%.

Our labor force is short, the aging population has begun to be an indisputable implementation, the retirement age is delayed, and many jobs will be re-employed. It needs balanced development, and the former vocational high school is also very popular. It must meet the needs of the country before it can be employed.
