If we broaden our horizons, we will find that on this side, urban children struggle with degree rooms for a good degree, and students make up lessons, take exams and compete day and night. According to some parents, the homework of junior high school students is often not less than 10 every night, and they are filled with various make-up classes every Saturday. On the other hand, rural students have a lot of leisure. On the one hand, resources are inferior to cities. On the other hand, parents don't have much leisure to stare at their children. Take Chaoshan, the author's hometown, as an example, the school's hardware facilities and teachers are weak. Some schools don't even have plastic runways. Students can go home from school less than five o'clock in the afternoon, and when they get home, they are busy working. How can they devote themselves to their studies? In the long run, coupled with the lack of information and resources, many students go out to work after nine-year compulsory education, which makes people feel sorry.
Under the background of different growth paths, the competitiveness of urban and rural students in the college entrance examination is obviously different in the same area. So, where is the way out for rural students? In my opinion, excluding some gifted or particularly diligent students, vocational education is undoubtedly the best way out for most rural students. Learning a skill is not only more in line with the reality of rural students (some cultural knowledge is not as solid as that of urban students), but also more in line with the current national demand for talents (industrial upgrading makes the problem of "skilled workers shortage" more and more prominent). What's more, under the severe employment situation of college students, becoming a senior technician through vocational education is not only more attractive in salary, but also less stressful in employment, which is undoubtedly a more convenient way for rural students to get rid of poverty.
From this perspective, rural areas can be used as a breakthrough in vocational education. Looking back on vocational education, many colleges and universities have the problem of "difficult transformation". At this year's Guangdong Provincial Political Consultative Conference, Dong Chaofeng, member of CPPCC and secretary of Zhaoqing Municipal Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party, said that the most difficult thing for local ordinary undergraduate colleges to transform into vocational colleges is the concept. Breaking the concept has become a top priority. The concept of educators, parents of urban students, parents of rural students ... the concept of parents of rural students is the most easily broken in this chain. As long as the countryside is regarded as the breakthrough of vocational education, the ideological work of rural students and their parents should be done well, and rural students should take the lead in going to the broad road through vocational education, so that a single spark can start a prairie fire and vocational education can usher in a new dawn.
Specifically, the breakthrough of rural vocational education can be divided into several steps: First, "propaganda to the countryside". Because the rural information is blocked, vocational education propaganda must "go to the countryside on its own initiative" and inform rural educators, students and parents of the contents, prospects, employment, departments and other information of vocational education in time. For example, higher vocational education, which integrates academic education and skill education, can not only prove students' academic qualifications, but also have a skill. This kind of education is a good choice for rural students, and both parents and students should know it. The second is "policy going to the countryside". The state has provided a lot of policy support for vocational education. For example, many vocational schools are free of tuition for the first three years, which is a great temptation for less affluent rural families. If all policies are not active, 1 2
