Reasonable Ratio of Vocational Education to General Education in Upper Secondary Education:An International Comparative Perspective
The rational determination of the ratio of vocational education to general education in upper secondary education is an important issue in China's current educational reform and development process.Taking an international comparative perspective,this study examines the patterns and experiences of vocational to general education structure development in some regions and economies worldwide.Based on OECD country data from 2010 to 2020,it explores the factors and logic influencing these changes.Building on this foundation,the study discusses the appropriate ratio of vocational education to general education in Chinese upper secondary education.The research reveals a"reverse U-shaped"relationship between the ratio of vocational education to general education and economic development,with the emphasis on innovation reducing this ratio.Predictive models suggest that China's optimal ratio of vocational education to general education should be 34:66.Currently,both at the national and provincial levels,vocational education's share is relatively high.Therefore,provinces should dynamically adjust this ratio based on comprehensive factors such as economic and social development levels.Additionally,attentions should be given to developing pathways and optimizing talent cultivation in vocational education during the upper secondary education.
