Should the ratio be emphasized for students?

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 a certain 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 practical nursing skills.

Dr. Tung Lam commented, Vietnam

career guidance

Students from secondary school are also the approach to education of many countries in the world. Many developed countries provide career orientation for students 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 having inadequacies and overlaps 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 associated with career orientation in a systematic way, with reasonable output and good income.

He gave an example that 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 cooperate with vocational schools so that after graduation, students can go to vocational schools, 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 find 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 secondary school

Although the number of vocational schools 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 when entering schools approach and introduce, 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 human resource supply and demand 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 and 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 we calculate the total number of study periods of a student in a school year, it is more than the number of study periods of students in 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 educational program, reducing the pressure for students to choose vocational training early.

At the workshop to provide comments on 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 the work of 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 wasteful of 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 at elementary and intermediate levels. 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.
