  Vocational education was once looked down upon by people. Many parents of examinees of College Entrance Examinations prefer paying large sums of sponsorship and tuition fee, sending their children to an obscure university and getting a diploma to giving them vocational trainings. However, such opinion is changing rapidly. Vocational education is becoming popular and more and more parents are paying attention to vocational education, traditional academic education is subjected to the strong impact of vocational education.
  在中国,职业教育曾经一度被人带着有色眼镜来看待,很多高考生家长宁肯花大把的赞助费、高昂的学费让孩子去一个名不见经传的大学读四年,拿回个毕业证书,也不愿意把孩子送去进行职业培训,但现在,这种观念正在改变。职业教育成了香饽饽,越来越多的家长开始重视起职业教育,传统的学历教育正在经受职业教育的强大冲击。
  “People become unemployed after graduating from ordinary universities, they should go to vocational training schools!”, “IT trainings are not bad, people can study near their home, pay less money than going to universities, and turn out to have a good job.”
  In some countries, vocational education is an important part of education, but not in the junior middle school stage, but the senior middle school stage. In many countries, enrollment of vocational education is part of the enrollment of senior middle school stage and makes up high proportion. Especially in Indonesia, Thailand, Korea and Israel, the proportion can be up to 40%. The proportion in Czech Republic and Australia is about 70%, that in Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Switzerland is 60%, and in France, Denmark and Finland is 50%. Viewed from an overall perspective, the development of vocational education is weaker than European and OECD countries.
  German vocational education is very advance. Technicians are of very good skills. In this country more than half of the students choose vocational trainings as their educational direction. Meanwhile, ordinary senior middles and vocational schools can exchange students after they have studied for two years, i.e., students with poor academic performance of ordinary senior high school can go to vocational school to acquire skills, while students with good academic performance of vocational schools can study in ordinary senior high school and prepare for entering university. What is more, many senior high school students with good academic performance are not hurry to enter famous university, they tend to go to vocational schools to acquire some skills, and then acquire theory in university, such students are more easily to have achievements.   “普通大学毕业也就是失业,去读职业培训学校吧!”、“IT培训也不错,就在家门口上学,花的钱比上大学少,还能有份不错的工作。”与以往不同的是,现在很多家长从实际出发,选择送孩子接受职业教育。在一些国家,职业教育是教育的重要组成部分,但不是在初中阶段而是在高中阶段。职业教育招生作为高中阶段招生的一部分,在很多国家都有相当高的比例。其中在印度尼西亚、泰国、韩国和以色列该比例达到约40%左右。而相应的该比例在捷克共和国和澳大利亚约为70%,比利时、德国、意大利、荷兰、瑞士该比例为60%,法国、丹麦、芬兰等国该比例为50%。从整体上看,亚洲地区的职业教育要比欧洲和OECD国家发展弱得多。
  德国的职业教育非常先进,技术工人水平很高。在这个国家半数以上的学生都选择了职业技术培训作为自己的教育方向,同时普通高中与职业学校在学生入学两年后,生源可以互动,即普通高中成绩差的学生可以转入职业学校学习技能,而职业学校成绩好的学生可以进入普通高中学习,为上大学做准备。最难能可贵的是,很多成绩好的高中毕业生并不急于进名牌大学学习,而是先进职业学校学一门技术,然后再去大学学理论,这样的学生以后更容易做出成就。
  In contrast, in China, many junior high school students choose to go to senior high schools after graduation, and they only go to vocational schools when they are not enrolled by senior high schools. In addition, not many people go to vocational schools, because many children of rural areas tend to go to work directly after they graduate from junior high school without standard vocational trainings. At present, there are interactions between the vocational education, mechanic colleges and universities education and higher education. However, it is difficult for senior high schools and vocational schools to exchange students. It is almost impossible for students of vocational schools to go to senior high schools, and few senior high school students choose to go to vocational schools.
  Besides in abroad, it is a common practice that the salary of a senior skilled worker is higher than that of a senior engineer. However, it is impossible in China at present, in that senior engineers usually have had university education or rich working experience. They are very qualified and get the title after being accessed in many aspects, their skills are higher, and therefore their salaries are higher.
  相比较而言,在中国,大多数的学生初中毕业后的首选是上高中,上不了高中才选择职业学校,而且上职业学校的人数不多,许多农村的孩子初中毕业后就直接去打工,根本没有经过正规的职业培训。目前中国职业、技工院校教育与高等教育之间已有了互通。但是高中与职业学校的学生很难进行生源互动,职业学校的学生几乎不可能进高中学习,也很少有高中生选择上职业学校的。
  除中国之外,一个通行的规律是:一个高级技工的工资要高于一名高级工程师。而在国内,目前是不可能的。高级工程师一般都受过大学教育或工作经验丰富,非常有资历,经过各项评估才获得的职称,水平较高,待遇自然也高。
  Since at present the skills of technicians who come from ordinary vocational education is limited, and most of them take up ordinary primary work of skills without any development in technology innovation and high-difficulty technology, so their salaries are not high. Their salaries can be even lower compared with some administrative staff.
  Though the current situation of vocational education in China is turning good, there are many places that need improvement. Most of the popularity of vocational education is owing to utilitarian and practical causes. Compared with foreign vocational education, the largest difference is that the purposes of students are different. In abroad, since there is no pressure of employment, students often go to vocational trainings schools out of their passion for a certain career, or their interest in handling some equipment. Parents usually encourage their students to do what they like, because it is easier to have achievements; however, in China, due to pressure of employment, people who ask their children to choose vocational education just want them to master a skill, and find jobs easily. Some do not even have relationship with personal interests, but is a way of making a living. Therefore, most of the graduates of vocational schools in China are operation staff rather than innovators.
  由于中国目前普通职业教育培养出来的技术人员水平有限,大部分从事着普通的初级技术工作,而并没有在技术创新、高难度技术方面有所发展,所以待遇并不高。与一些行政人员相比,待遇相同甚至还要低些。
  尽管现在中国的职业教育现状有了好转,但由于起步晚,的确存在很多需要改进的地方。职业教育在中国变得火热带有很大部分功利性、实际的原因。与国外职业教育相比,最主要的区别是学生上学的目的不一样。在国外,由于没有就业的压力,孩子上职业培训学校是因为喜欢从事某个行业,或喜欢动手操作某些仪器,家长也鼓励孩子做自己喜欢的事,做喜欢的事情容易出成绩;而在国内,由于就业的压力,老百姓让孩子选择职业教育的目的纯粹是为了掌握一门技能,为了好就业,有的甚至与个人兴趣没有太大的关系,只是一个生存的饭碗而已。由此,中国培养出来的大部分是操作工人,而不是创新者。
