Since 2008, the professional qualification line has been in a downward trend. This year's specialist qualification line 180 points. The specialty line has remained at this level for four consecutive years.
This year is also the first time to apply for higher vocational education. Candidates who fail the college entrance examination can apply for registration in higher vocational colleges included in the pilot scope.
Obviously, the threshold for going to college is getting lower and lower. Behind the scenes, enrollment has evolved into a high-cost war, which is intense and intense.
With the expansion of colleges and universities, the reduction of students and other factors, colleges and higher vocational colleges at the end of the higher education chain are the first to feel the difficulty of enrollment. What they need to face is life and death.
On the one hand, many higher vocational colleges have encountered the phenomenon of "zero investment". On the other hand, it is an indisputable fact that the employment rate of graduates from higher vocational colleges is higher than that of key undergraduate courses.
There is a great contrast between the enrollment and employment situation in vocational schools. The reasons are deep-seated and need to be reflected by all parties.
The current enrollment situation is tense, and students are rushing to attend the job fair.
◎ The annual enrollment fee of some private schools is not less than one million yuan.
Since 2008, the specialty line in our province has been in a downward trend. In 2008, the admission control scores of the second batch of junior college students were all 220 points, which decreased to 265,438+00 points in 2009, 2065,438+00 points, 2065,438+0 points to 2065,438+03 points.
What is the concept of 180? Before 20 14, there were five subjects in the college entrance examination, namely Chinese, mathematics, foreign language, comprehensive ability and basic ability. If you get an average of 36 points in every subject, you have a chance to go to college. This year, the basic ability was cancelled, with an average of 45 points in each subject. And for the first time this year, students who failed to register have more opportunities to apply for admission.
College scores have been lowered again and again, but even so, some colleges still need to face the crisis of students.
Even the national backbone higher vocational colleges dare not raise their estimated scores easily when promoting enrollment. "When candidates consult, we can report more than 350 points." A higher vocational college in Jinan said that although the strength of the school is relatively strong, because the students are not in their prime, they dare not take care of it.
However, the actual admission situation is that the general liberal arts and science project of this higher vocational college has been fully invested after a voluntary application. The liberal arts 504 program has 530 volunteers, with the highest score of 549 and the lowest score of 467. Science 19 13 plan, with 2009 people, with the highest score of 525 and the lowest score of 427.
In this higher vocational college, the lowest score cast by candidates exceeds the teacher's expectation, but not all higher vocational colleges have such good results. About 40% of higher vocational colleges should participate in the recruitment of volunteers. After two calls for volunteers, many universities from other provinces failed to vote fully.
"In 20 12, there were only six schools that first solicited volunteers. 20 13 is a bit much. " After this year's college volunteer application, there are still many higher vocational colleges that are not recruiting enough. If a volunteer fails to pass the exam, many enrollment plans are still there when collecting volunteers.
Although the enrollment situation is good this year, as a member of the powerful schools in higher vocational colleges, the school dare not "neglect" the enrollment promotion in advance.
"The school will organize people to participate in high-tech fairs held in local cities. Where there is an enrollment plan in the field, people will also be sent. " It is said that before colleges and universities volunteered to fill in their volunteers, the admissions staff had been busy. This year, in a week or so, he went from Shijiazhuang to Liaocheng, from Liaocheng to Jinan, and then from Jinan to Zibo to attend an ingenious consultation meeting.
He told reporters that his school still has some separate enrollment plans, so the enrollment work of the school has already begun. The conditions and reputation of the school are good. Although there is no need to think of other ways to attract students, it will take half a year to recruit students.
"The cost of printing publicity pages is 60,000 to 70,000 yuan a year. But compared with private schools, tens of thousands of dollars is really nothing. " Go ahead.
It is understood that many private schools have an annual enrollment fee of one or two million.
Frankly speaking, before 2008, there were many students, and school enrollment didn't need to use your head. Today, with the decrease of students, higher vocational colleges pay more and more attention to connotation construction and pursue the employment quality of students. Only by grasping the exit can we ensure the source of students.
Employment situation The employment rate of higher vocational graduates is higher than that of key undergraduate courses.
◎ Order training for admission, and employment is guaranteed.
When choosing a school, parents no longer simply look at the reputation of the school, but pay more and more attention to the employment situation. This is especially true in higher vocational colleges.
In higher vocational colleges, order training has become a trend. A teacher in charge of vocational college enrollment said that last year, vocational college enrollment 1000 people were all booked. In other words, a quarter of the students have found jobs.
Liaocheng Vocational and Technical College has more than 40 order training courses and cooperates with more than 20 enterprises and institutions. The training mode of order class is that students can sign up for order class when they enter school, study in school for two years, and practice in enterprises in the third year. After six months of internship, they can sign a formal employment contract to ensure all employment arrangements.
The relevant person in charge of the Admissions Office of Liaocheng Vocational and Technical College explained that the proportion of students in the order class is not small. The school's medical school and pharmacy major recruited four order classes this year. There are also order classes for stomatology and medical imaging technology majors.
"Students in the order class are guaranteed employment when they enter school." The person in charge said that during the internship, students receive a monthly living allowance.
"Higher vocational colleges cultivate applied talents and belong to typical blue-collar workers." Teacher Chen, who participated in the enrollment of commercial vocational and technical college, said that the orientation of vocational education is relatively accurate, and the talents needed by society are not all sophisticated. In general undergraduate colleges, it is difficult for students to face a second choice when they graduate. There is no advantage in employment. In higher vocational colleges, schools and enterprises are interlinked, and students will understand what they want to do in the future in a semi-school and semi-social environment, and their goals are also relatively strong.
"Vocational college graduates, employers dare to use them, and they can stand up in their posts." Teacher Chen said.
The subject of this science is knowledge, and the subject of this science is skill. Teacher Zhu, an enrollment staff member of the Vocational College of Science and Technology, said that without skills, students often face unemployment after graduation. With skills, you can eat anywhere.
It is understood that since the Eleventh Five-Year Plan, vocational colleges across the country have trained nearly 80 million graduates, accounting for 60% of the newly employed population. They have become the main sources of high-tech talents in China, including processing and manufacturing, intercity railways, civil aviation, modern logistics, e-commerce, tourism services, information services and hotel management. In recent years, more than 70% of vocational college graduates have increased their staff, which can particularly reflect vocational education services.
"From the external evaluation, whether the people trained by the school can adapt to the needs of society can be reflected in the employment rate." Wang said that the employment rate of secondary vocational school graduates has remained above 95% for many years. The initial employment rate of higher vocational college graduates is higher than that of key undergraduate colleges, and the employment rate of higher vocational college graduates exceeds 90% after half a year.
2 1 Century Education Research Institute released the "Blue Book of Education for 20 14 years" data, showing that higher vocational colleges have the highest initial employment rate of 78. 1%, which is higher than 75% of "2 1 1" (including "985") key universities. 5%。
It is of great significance to reflect on the construction of an educational model that pays equal attention to vocational education and general education.
There is a huge contrast between enrollment and employment situation in vocational schools.
In recent years, the enrollment examination system has been continuously reformed, adopting the spring college entrance examination, the "3+2" and "3+4" modes of phased vocational education, and the "2+3" and "2+4" modes of higher normal education at the starting point of junior high school to conduct diversified enrollment in a diversified way.
On 20 14, the "knowledge+skills" examination mode was first implemented in the spring college entrance examination. In the vocational education entrance examination, all candidates who were not admitted to the college entrance examination in the spring or summer of that year can register in higher vocational colleges included in the pilot scope.
The reform of college entrance examination system fundamentally solved the disadvantages of one exam for life, created a relaxed environment for the implementation of quality education and promoted the construction of modern vocational education system.
In fact, at present, China's vocational education has ushered in an important period of development opportunities. In the national education system, the pattern of vocational education and general education has basically taken shape.
The basic formation of the pattern of vocational general education does not simply refer to the number of schools, students, students and students, but reflects the embodiment of different types of talent structure in the educational structure.
Education needs to support and serve the development of economy and society. In fact, apart from the pertinence of personnel training, objectively speaking, the applicability of educational structure to the demand of talent structure for economic and social development is the most important.
"What kind of talents does the whole society need, and what kind of education are these talents trained through? Talents are technical and academic. " Vigorously developing vocational education is a strategic measure for the adjustment of educational structure. Vocational education and general education are roughly the same, and the basic formation of this structure is of great significance.
There is a huge contrast between enrollment and employment situation in vocational schools, which is also a hot topic in society. "Employment is good, why is there still a problem of difficult enrollment? The reason is deep-seated." Developing vocational education is an urgent need to speed up economic transformation and a realistic problem.
