Should we put emphasis on student ratio?

The 2018 general education program also identifies junior high school as the basic education stage and high school as the career orientation stage. However, the need to learn about careers and choose a career at any time in life is the student's right.

Teachers and schools should give students

access, introduction and experience

reality of the professions for students to understand and choose. Provinces and cities are responsible for creating conditions in terms of facilities and schools for students to pursue their studies in the best way.

Students of a vocational college in Hanoi are learning to practice nursing.

Dr. Tung Lam commented, Vietnam

career guidance

Students from secondary school is also the approach to education of many countries in the world . Many developed countries orient students to careers from a very early age and by secondary school many students choose careers to study in depth. When entering high school, students do not study many subjects to prepare for the graduation exam but only study subjects that are suitable for their abilities to enter the desired university.

This expert also pointed out that in reality, the management of general education and vocational training programs is inadequate and overlapping between the Ministry of Education and Training and the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs. It is necessary to solve the problem of high schools linked to career orientation in a systematic way, with reasonable output and good income.

He gave an example, nowadays many families send their children to work abroad. They grope their way through companies and in many cases get scammed.

Cheat

Why is there no policy for high schools to link with vocational schools so that after graduation, students can go to vocational school, learn languages ​​and export labor to foreign markets? "We currently still put too much emphasis on degrees in training programs, not closely following reality to have effective solutions," he said.

Attached to the output

Localities as well as the Hanoi Department of Education and Training must admit,

student streaming rate after junior high school

Although the number of students has increased in recent years, it has not yet reached the set target. In fact, many parents still want their children to continue studying in high school instead of choosing a career from middle school. Many vocational schools have approached and introduced them to schools, but parents are not interested.

Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training of Vinh Phuc province Pham Khuong Duy shared that the locality has many industrial parks, the province aims to train human resources with high intelligence and skills to meet the local human resource needs, and develop key industries. Therefore, if there are binding, clear and specific mechanisms, the career guidance and orientation in high schools will have a better impact on the awareness of students, parents, and society, and that is the two-way impact of supply and demand of human resources in localities. For example, there is a cooperation mechanism between educational institutions and businesses on output.

From the teaching practice, Mr. Dinh Thanh Khuong, Director of the Center for Continuing Education - Vocational Guidance of Ha Nam province also said that currently, continuing education institutions are implementing two programs at the same time, which are cultural studies and vocational training. If calculating the total number of study periods of a student in a school year, it is more than the number of study periods of students at high schools. While studying vocational training, students still have to worry about enough cultural knowledge to take the high school graduation exam. Therefore, there should be policies to balance the education program, reducing the pressure for students to choose vocational training early.

At the workshop to contribute ideas to the draft Decree of the Government regulating career guidance and streaming in education organized by the Ministry of Education and Training, Deputy Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong stated that streaming and career guidance is an important task. The difficulties and shortcomings in the past in streaming and career guidance have both objective and subjective causes, so the set goals have not been achieved. "If we provide good career guidance, streaming will be very favorable. If we have the right orientation from the beginning, it will not be costly and waste time, money, and effort of students, parents, and society," said Mr. Thuong.

Government Decision 522 sets a target of at least 40% of students graduating from junior high school by 2025 to continue studying at vocational training institutions providing elementary and intermediate training. Recently, National Assembly delegates proposed reducing the rate of students being classified into vocational training after junior high school because this puts a lot of pressure on grade 9 students in the grade 10 entrance exam.
