Ordinary high schools are not divided into majors, and vocational high schools should be divided into different majors from the beginning of high school. Vocational high schools can get corresponding vocational certificates for employment mainly by studying vocational skills for several years, while ordinary high schools study high school textbooks for several years and get high school diplomas after graduation.
The contents of textbooks in vocational high schools are different from those in ordinary high schools. Ordinary high schools are divided into subjects according to arts and sciences, and the number of words is externalized (or politics and history). The general courses in vocational high schools are all foreign languages plus professional courses, which are similar to the professional courses in universities to some extent. However, in the competition of social jobs, vocational high schools are not welcomed by graduates of the same major.
The courses in vocational high schools include basic courses (including: Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry, morality and rule of law, history and society, information technology and sports) and professional knowledge (such as kindergarten teachers, planting, breeding, electromechanical, electronic electrician, automobile maintenance, computer, architecture, tourism, business, English, music and art).
The main courses in ordinary high schools are Chinese, English, mathematics, politics, geography, history, chemistry, physics, biology and so on. Before the division of arts and sciences, it is generally necessary to study all subjects. After the arts and sciences are divided, you only need to study the college entrance examination.
The knowledge difficulty and depth of vocational high school textbooks are not as good as those of ordinary high schools, and there is also a gap in the division of key knowledge and the depth of learning requirements.
In addition to Chinese, mathematics and English, vocational high school textbooks also learn professional-related technical courses. In addition to Chinese, mathematics and English, ordinary high school textbooks also include physics, chemistry, biology, history, geography and politics. Probability, statistics, derivatives and other vocational high school textbooks are not studied.
Vocational high schools focus on training intermediate technical personnel and managers, intermediate technical workers and employees. Vocational high schools are divided into various majors, while ordinary high schools are not divided into majors.
