| Abstract | Traditionally, the majority of high school graduates in China go to academic high schools; however, only about seven percent of them are able to go on to higher education, and some become unemployed. Beginning in 1980, reforms in the education system have created vocational high schools, which, unlike traditional vocational high schools, prepare graduates for a field, but not for a guaranteed job. Due especially to the opening of many vocational high schools, the ratio of secondary students going into vocational versus academic education has changed to 60:40. The vocational high schools run their programs in conjunction with companies that wish to hire the graduates; for example, Hilton Hotels provide equipment and internships for hotel management students in Shanghai. The vocational high schools also stress entrepreneurship, which has been recognized by the state as a means to reduce unemployment and foster economic development. These schools lessen the examination pressures on academic high school students, so that a higher percentage--about 40 to 50 percent--are now able to go on to higher education. Although these examples may not be generalizable to the whole country of China, the vocationalization of Chinese secondary schools represents a great change from previous thinking in that planned economy.
