Advantages:
1, the status of vocational education has been gradually improved: Vocational education used to be considered as a minor "minor course", but now, vocational education has been paid more and more attention and its status has been gradually improved.
2. The teaching content of vocational education is more practical: the main purpose of vocational education is to cultivate students' practical skills, so the teaching content is more practical.
3. Continuous innovation of vocational education mode: Vocational education needs continuous innovation and adjustment to meet the market demand.
Disadvantages:
1. The "recognition" of vocational education at the social level is not high: the unanimous resistance of parents and candidates to vocational education has led to a decline in recognition of vocational education, and applying for vocational colleges has become the "helpless move" and "last choice" of candidates.
2. The "fit" between vocational education and industrial development is low: the professional setting, curriculum system, practical training, skill assessment and innovation ability of vocational education are not effectively connected with the needs of industrial development, and it is impossible to timely adjust the professional setting, skill training, practical training and vocational skills promotion from the perspectives of regional industrial positioning, industrial structure and industrial characteristics.
3. The "matching degree" between vocational education and talent demand is low: there is still a big gap between the talent model and effect of vocational education and the demand of contemporary enterprises for talent occupation and literacy. Vocational education students focus on theoretical study, supplemented by workshop practice, unable to fully obtain skills progress, technological innovation and technological innovation during their school days, and lack of awareness and positioning of professional literacy and industry needs, resulting in a low degree of matching between vocational education talents and enterprise needs.
4. The sense of acquisition, happiness and honor of talents trained by vocational education is not high: compared with undergraduates, they are even more ashamed, and to some extent, they are not as good as white-collar workers. Working in the workshop is just a worker's role, so it is difficult to find a bright career and get out of the excitement.
