It should also be a problem that it is difficult to integrate into the environment. Many Lu Tongxue, who studied undergraduate and graduate students in Taiwan Province Province, have adapted well.
Back to the topic, I wonder if the higher vocational education mentioned by the landlord refers to the higher vocational education in Taiwan Province Province (similar to that in Chinese mainland) or the technical college of the University of Science and Technology similar to that in Chinese mainland?
The following is a blog post of a netizen in Taiwan Province Province:
To explain the division between ordinary universities and technical colleges, we must start with the education system in Taiwan Province Province. Especially the explanation of senior vocational schools, is very important for the understanding of technical and vocational colleges, which is also the reason why the technical and vocational system in Taiwan Province Province is generally much better than there.
The following is an overview and explanation of the education system in Taiwan Province Province:
Kindergarten, primary school, junior high school and large class for 3 years-> Primary school for 6 years-> Junior high school for 3 years-> 3 years in high school/3 years in higher vocational school/3 years in comprehensive high school/5 years in five-year junior college-> Ordinary university, 4-year /4-year college, 4-year /2-year college, 2-year /2-year college-> 2-year master's degree program-> Postgraduate doctoral degree for 4 years.
Kindergartens are called kindergartens in Chinese mainland, while primary schools are called primary schools in Taiwan Province Province.
Junior high school is referred to as junior high school, which is equivalent to junior high school in the mainland. If you want to enter a higher school from junior high school, you must take the entrance examination, which is called the basic academic ability test, which is equivalent to the senior high school entrance examination in Chinese mainland. 20 1 1 year, Taipei, New Taipei and Keelung were divided into three exams, which were called North-North Joint Exam, or North-North Joint Exam for short. According to the test results, you can choose to apply for and assign high schools according to your personal aspirations.
Senior middle schools, like Chinese mainland, are called high schools for short. Nearly half of junior high school students in Taiwan Province Province will choose to study the senior high school system after graduation, mainly to cultivate the ability of basic subjects. Most students who have a good foundation in junior high school or a good family will choose to go to high school. In order to enter colleges and universities, high schools must take the university subject ability test, which is called academic test. According to the test results, they can apply to ordinary universities or four-year technical and vocational colleges, and then they can take the tests of the subjects designated by the universities, which are called tests for short. With this achievement, I entered an ordinary university. Senior high schools in Taiwan Province Province also study for three years, and I will start grouping when I am a senior one and a senior two. In Taiwan Province Province, liberal arts is called social group (also called the first group), and science is called natural group, which is divided into the second group and the third group who study more than one subject. Most girls will choose the first and third groups, while boys will choose the second and third groups. Due to the profound concept of attaching importance to literature in Taiwan Province Province, in recent years, the number of people who choose the natural group has gradually increased. Famous public high schools in Taiwan Province Province, such as Taipei Jianguo Middle School, Yi Bei Girls' Middle School, Middle School Attached to Normal University, Chenggong High School, Zhongshan Girls' Middle School, Taoyuan Wuling High School, Taichung No.1 Middle School, Taichung Girls' Middle School, Kaohsiung Middle School and Kaohsiung Girls' Middle School, are very crowded every year.
Higher vocational schools in Taiwan Province Province are called higher vocational schools, which are similar to those in Chinese mainland. Different from the technical and vocational system in mainland China, there is another entrance examination for higher vocational education, which is called the unified examination for four skills and two majors. You can enter a four-year technical and vocational college or select an ordinary university. A good technical and vocational college can also be equivalent to two universities in Chinese mainland or even 2 1 1.
More than half of junior high school graduates will choose to study in higher vocational colleges. In the early days, some students from poor families or who want to learn skills earlier will choose to study in this academic system. In recent years, the scores of higher vocational colleges have been greatly improved, which can attract many students admitted to good high schools to study. The main reason for this phenomenon is that they can learn practical skills early to get a job or take technical and vocational exams to enter technical and vocational colleges and even ordinary universities. Therefore, the level of higher vocational colleges in Chinese mainland is far better than that of secondary vocational schools and vocational high schools.
Higher vocational education takes three years, which is mainly divided into advanced engineering (advanced industrial vocational school) and advanced business (advanced commercial vocational school). There are many specialties, including construction machinery, sheet metal, casting, automobile, information, motor, electronics, civil engineering, architecture, chemical industry and so on. Business accounting affairs, data processing, statistics, business design, business management, application of foreign languages, international trade, etc. There are also some family or agricultural vocational schools. There are many famous top public vocational colleges, such as Da 'an Vocational College in Taipei, Shilin Vocational College, Taichung Vocational College in Taichung, Taichung family business, and some top vocational colleges in some areas. These schools are admitted to Taiwan Province University of Science and Technology, Taibei University of Science and Technology and Yunlin University of Science and Technology, the top three vocational colleges in Taiwan Province Province every year.
There is also a comprehensive high school system, which is between high school and higher vocational education. It belongs to the new system of secondary education in Taiwan Province Province in recent ten years. You can take the senior high school entrance examination or higher vocational education, but because both sides have to prepare, it is a bit like learning everything but not mastering it, but it is relatively unpopular.
Five-year junior college, referred to as five-year junior college for short, is the most famous technical and vocational education system in the early days, especially the five-year college department of the provincial Taipei Institute of Technology (now national taipei university of technology). At present, few colleges and technical and vocational colleges have five-year specialties, so I won't explain them much.
The two-year junior college is referred to as the second college, and the students mainly come from higher vocational colleges. There are very few schools with this academic system, and most of them have low scores in the unified examination, with the exception of national schools such as Taichung Nursing College, Tainan Nursing College and Taitung College. Otherwise, ordinary higher vocational students will choose a four-year technical vocational college to study.
The entrance examination for the second and fifth colleges is to enter ordinary colleges, technical vocational colleges or two-year technical vocational colleges by taking the unified examination for two skills, which should be similar to the entrance examination for the mainland.
Ordinary universities are called Puda for short. The students are mainly high school students, but also a few vocational school students. This academic system is almost the same as that of ordinary universities in Chinese mainland. The biggest difference is that the level of private schools in Taiwan Province Province is much better than that in Chinese mainland. In particular, established private universities can be equivalent to two universities, and top private ordinary universities such as Chang Gung University and Fu Jen Catholic University can be equivalent to 985,2168.
Four-year technical vocational college is called "four skills" for short. The students are mainly vocational college students, and some high school students will learn the "four skills", especially in public schools. This kind of educational system is the most confusing for Lusheng, and it will be mistaken for being similar to junior college and vocational college. In fact, the four skills, as the name implies, are four years of study, which is equivalent to an undergraduate course, and a bachelor's degree is awarded after graduation. The names of technical and vocational colleges are divided into University of Science and Technology and Technical College, which also confuses many people. It's just that the scale of the school is small, for example, the number of undergraduate, master and doctoral classes is small, so some technical colleges can't be promoted to polytechnic university. Another exception is Wenzao Foreign Languages Institute, which is not an ordinary university, although it was later called Foreign Languages Institute. The same is true of Taipei University of Nursing and Health and Kaohsiung University of Food, both of which belong to technical and vocational colleges.
Of course, most so-called technical colleges have lower scores than HKUST. Only the National Taipei Institute of Business Technology and Pingtung Institute of Business Technology, as well as the private Zhi Zhi Institute of Technology and Wenzao Institute of Foreign Languages are exceptions, because these colleges have been very famous since the fifth junior college, so their scores are extremely high.
I think this technical vocational college will be relatively unpopular mainly because only private schools are open, while Zhi Ming University of Science and Technology and some pharmacy majors are closed, so the best major in the school is probably similar to Grade Two A, which is higher than that in Guangdong. If there is an open national school next year, people may be more keen to apply for technical and vocational colleges. After all, every year in Taiwan Province Province, many high school students give up good ordinary universities and go to national technical and vocational colleges.
However, most of the technical and vocational systems only favor the majors of literature, business, agriculture, engineering and medicine, and literature only favors applied literature. Business has no theoretical economics, engineering is the most comprehensive, and ordinary universities have technical and vocational positions. Only Pink University has an agronomy major, but there is no entomology department. Medicine has only general medicine and nursing specialty. The rest of science, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and psychology, as well as politics, society, social work and philosophy of law, history, geography, media and social science, are all majors in ordinary universities. Of course, there are also some specialties that ordinary universities don't have, such as Chinese food, western cooking, makeup and facial makeup. If you want to learn food tourism, make-up and beauty, a skilled and professional system is more suitable.
Two-year technical vocational college, referred to as "two skills", is a very unpopular academic system, because its students are also from five universities and two universities, and the number of students with two skills is decreasing. Most schools are more inclined to increase the number of places to four skills, and the best students will choose to take the big exam and enter the top ordinary universities instead of studying for two.
Ordinary colleges and universities, four-year and two-year technical and vocational colleges can participate in graduate school selection or unified examination to enter the master's class, and the master's class of graduate school should take the postgraduate doctoral class. This is the general situation of the education system in Taiwan Province Province.
In fact, the difference between ordinary universities and technical colleges in Taiwan Province Province has become increasingly blurred. Both senior high school students and vocational college students can enter these two academic systems, and both have postgraduate master's programs and doctoral programs. At the graduate stage, there is almost no difference between the two, and they are mainly academic research. The educational reform in Taiwan Province Province inclines the technical and vocational education to the academic line.
