四川省泸州市2020届高三上学期英语第一次教学质量诊断性模拟考试试卷(含小段音频)
There is good news for students of vocational(职业的) colleges in China: The government has announced plans to develop modern vocational education.
In the Government Work Report delivered to the National People's Congress on March 5, Premier Li Keqiang spoke of the need to accelerate the development of modern vocational education to ease the pressure in the job market and meet the demand for skilled workers and technicians.
It is noteworthy that Li said that enrollment(招生) in higher vocational colleges in China should increase by 1 million this year, the first time the central authority has set a clear target.
This comes after the news of the large shortfall(不足) in high-level technicians, despite the fact that China has millions of technical workers, according to China Daily.
China is expected to face a shortage of 3 million skilled workers who are able to operate robot and high-end numerical(数字的) control machines by 2020, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The shortfall will grow to 4.5 million by 2025. In addition, vocational education is at present unsatisfactory, although there're many vocational colleges in China.
"In some vocational schools, the education methods and curriculum are not able to meet the demand of upgrading manufacturing(制造业升级)," Xing Hui, director of the Vocational Education Center of the National Academy of Education Administration, told Xinhua News Agency. "As can be seen from job markets, companies still can't recruit qualified technicians even with high salaries."
Some foreign countries have set a good example with respect to vocational education. For example, Germany has a dual(双重的) system in its vocational education. Teaching content and methods are determined by industries and training schools to reflect current industrial practice, reported China Daily. The system requires that students should be trained at both the school and the company, with company training as the main focus.
In Switzerland, the apprenticeship(学徒制) system is popular. Two thirds of Swiss students start vocational education after finishing middle school, reported The Telegraph. Many have academic and vocational training at the same time. They work as apprentices in a company for three or four days a week and study in school for the rest of the time. The experience of these countries shows vocational schools can cooperate with employers to better prepare students for the market, according to China Daily.
"With the rising of the skilled workers' status and income, it is believed the vocational education system in China will assume a bigger role in social and economic development," commented China Daily.
