高考600分是选择普通本科?是复读?还是读职校? 其实这两则消息有一个共同指向:那就是,咱对职校的刻板印象,可能真的要翻篇了! 实际上在高等教育中,职校本来就占半壁江山。到今年6月,全国共有普通高等学校2919所,高职(专 科)学校1554所,超过一半。 最近有两条新闻可能会惊掉不少人的下巴:一个是来自浙江的考生,高考考了604分,这个成绩原本能 上不错的本科,甚至双一流,结果在填报志愿时她却首选了高职院校! 另一个是郑州铁路职业技术学院,在今年的招生计划中,有三个专科专业明确只收本科毕业生,而且计 划有135个名额。 当985毕业生们专注考研时, 一批本科生正在悄悄到高职院校"回炉"学习——"本升专"。有人说这是本 科教育的变革信号,也有人说,学历面子那都是虚的,掌握一门就业技能才是实在。 但是,长期默默无闻的职校,怎么就突然支棱起来了? 三组数据解答你的疑问! 一,教育部已经批复设立87所本科层次职业学校,光是今年就批了36所,职业院校"升本"势头可真猛 啊,这可不只是普通的改名,在就业、考研、考公时,它的学位和普通本科有 同等法律效力! 二,在现代制造业、服务业中,70%的一线新增从业人员,都是从职校毕 ...
