How to treat the "revival" of college students' vocational schools?
It is reported that in recent years, the phenomenon of college students returning to vocational schools has increased year by year. Some practical majors, such as CNC machining technology, electrical automation, automobile maintenance and mechanical engineering, have become the favored direction of "returning to the furnace" college students. Many vocational colleges even offer "undergraduate courses" for specialized training. Experts said that at present, the problem of "vocational college students lack undergraduate diploma and undergraduate students lack practical ability" still needs to be solved.

College students with diplomas have returned to vocational colleges for many years, and there are some successful cases of "transformation" in reality. However, such news will appear every graduation season, which will inevitably cause some doubts. These skeptics think that this is a waste of social resources, but it is more like a "hype" for some vocational colleges to attract students (business). In fact, some vocational colleges always take some "cases" to emphasize their importance and attraction.

However, for many employers, a diploma is indeed a "stepping stone". Without this thing, even the highest skills can't get in. Perhaps this is also the reason why vocational schools are often willing to "hype" their attraction to college students. To some extent, the media and vocational colleges like "hype" just because it is too difficult to reverse people's obsession with diplomas.

The problem is not that vocational schools take college students "returning to the furnace" as a hype stunt, but that there are some difficulties in the docking market of higher education at present. In the era when college students are still scarce, these difficulties can be made up by practice. "Learning by doing" and "learning by doing" can eventually grow into a versatile person with "Tao" and "skill". Under the background that the number of college graduates has hit record highs in recent years, employment is difficult to highlight, and the market will naturally become more and more critical. Those technicians who can get started directly are of course more popular.

Accordingly, many universities are not aware of the social changes, or although they are aware of them, they are constrained by multiple factors, so they cannot change their ideas in time, find a path, and cultivate applied technical and skilled talents. Even in some engineering colleges with strong application, students seldom have enough practical opportunities, but pay more attention to instilling theoretical knowledge. In the long run, there will inevitably be a double contradiction between the difficulty of college students' employment and the difficulty of enterprise recruitment.

Therefore, the current plan, on the one hand, continues to promote the diversion of students from the middle school stage. Those who choose vocational education can enter vocational colleges, and those who are willing to continue their studies can enter universities. The government, the education department and the society should also change their concepts and truly realize that this is diversion rather than elimination. Young people need a way out, and society also needs many professional and technical talents. There is no difference between vocational education and university education, only the difference in path.

On the other hand, the current higher education should also be changed, at least in terms of connecting with society and cultivating students' practical ability, we should think more ways. Especially those engineering colleges that should have trained applied talents should be especially vigilant. Of course, the university is mainly a general education, but if it is always empty talk or even forms an atmosphere of contempt for practice, it will go to the opposite side.

The "revival" of college students' vocational schools is actually a kind of lifelong education and an active adjustment of individuals in the social torrent. Everyone should update their knowledge system in time, or at least have this awareness of actively embracing change. This is not only related to personal well-being, but also to social progress and the promotion of public interests.

This should be a good phenomenon, but it should not be a reason for hype. Just treat it normally.
