Original title: Beijing is unlikely to have a large shortage of high school degrees

A few days ago, it was reported online that the enrollment ratio of secondary vocational schools and general high schools this year will reach 5:5, and half of junior high school students will not be admitted to high schools. Li Yi, deputy secretary of the Municipal Education Working Committee and spokesman of the Municipal Education Commission, responded to this rumor: Beijing is unlikely to have a large shortage of high school degrees, or to subvert the existing education structure, but will only take corresponding measures to increase degrees and adjust the structure to ensure the good development of education. Parents can rest assured.

Li Yi said that the proportion of general vocational education in Beijing was controlled at 6:4 or 7:3, which on the one hand met the needs of the people for high school education, on the other hand widened the channel for the rise of vocational education. At the same time, in recent years, students with different academic achievements have been able to enter higher education through "3+2", five-year consistent system, through training, single examination and single enrollment, college to undergraduate and other ways of entering higher education.

"Ordinary high school and secondary vocational education have existed for many years." Li Yi mentioned that, considering the needs of student development and the economic and social development of the capital, this year, the enrollment scale of various types of senior secondary schools in the city was 89500, including 61800 for ordinary high schools and 27700 for secondary vocational education, "It should be noted that this plan is only a reference number, not the final result. In fact, due to the number of students and other reasons, Beijing has had sufficient high school degrees for many years, and the final result has not been implemented completely according to the plan data. The same is true for future enrollment plans, and the actual enrollment will be different from the enrollment plan."

He said that in recent years, Beijing has been promoting educational reform as a whole. Since the beginning of the reform, the education administrative department has predicted the growth rate of students and the possible peak value and other indicators, and constantly adjusted the education resources according to the actual situation. Li Yi mentioned that, in fact, from the perspective of resource matching between school stages and schools, there will be differences in different educational resources. Parents should help children choose different types of growth paths according to their development characteristics and needs, so as to achieve their own goals, rather than simply comparing them by going to general high school or secondary school. In other words, children will have the opportunity to become the backbone of the country no matter which major they enter, which type of school, or which industry they engage in after graduation. To achieve this goal, Beijing is providing students with diverse choices through a high-quality education system. For example, municipal colleges and universities implement classified development, and the original comprehensive colleges and universities gradually clarify the direction of running schools, becoming research universities, application universities, art universities and other categories. High schools run schools with characteristics. Parents can help children start from their interests and choose suitable growth paths. After graduation, they can also find suitable schools and suitable majors to connect with each other in the stage of higher education. This will be a trend of future education development in Beijing.

At the same time, the development of vocational education in Beijing is also highlighting its own characteristics. In recent years, there have been great changes in professional adjustment and enrollment scale. It is developing from ordinary vocational education to high-quality vocational education, with more emphasis on high-quality and refined personnel training. For example, the through training method, which has been carrying out reform pilot in the past two years, is to provide continuous training opportunities for those students who have special skills in some aspects. At the same time, they are allowed to choose the learning method, go straight to further education or go to work before further education, so that students can take the initiative and better adapt to social development.
