中考普职分流:何以定分止争

调整中等教育结构,保持合理的普职比例,对构建现代职业教育体系,形成良好的教育生态具有重要意义。考察我国初中后普职分流政策演进史可以发现:普职比“大体相当”政策是改革开放后吸取教育改革教训而制定的,后经历了我国经济与就业市场化改革以及大学扩招等各种考验,但是近年来该政策在实施过程中,普职比例、分流时间和分流功效等方面存在诸多争议。从巩固中等职业教育的基础性地位与完善现代职业教育体系出发,未来初中后普职分流改革应因地制宜调整普职比例,适当延后普职分流时间;健全职业教育体系,在高中阶段教育完善“分流-交流”机制,拓宽中职考试升学通道;加大高中阶段课程改革,增大校内分流可能性;在构建国家资历框架中充分考虑高中阶段教育的普职融通。

中小学教师对其孩子接受职业教育意愿的差异分析

国家有关政策及法律要求社会各界要积极营造职业教育良好发展氛围,在普职分流及民众对职业教育接受度不高的情况下,中小学教师对职业教育的接受度值得关注。通过对全国15625名中小学教师的调查发现:中小学教师让其孩子接受职业教育的意愿比较低,仅为27.9%,在各人口学变量间存在显著差异,学段越高的教师越不愿意让其孩子上职业院校,经济越发达的东部地区及地级市、省会地区的教师越不愿意让其孩子上职业院校,除了年收入在10万元以上的高收入水平及职称未定级的教师外,年收入水平越高及职称越高的教师越愿意让其孩子上职业院校。为此,建议:为形成正确的劳动观与职业观,很有必要要求中小学教师在平时的课程与活动中逐步渗透有关的职业启蒙教育知识,应要求初中及普通高中教师越来越多地正面向学生宣讲职业教育,让学生明白职业教育同样是适合的成长成才途径,在正面宣讲职业教育中应更多地要求男性教师及年收入水平在10万元以下中的收入越高的教师及职称越高的教师,因他们更能接受职业教育,其有利身份与地位也更容易取得学生及家长的信任与接纳。
