High school students are students who enter high school in middle school, including ordinary high schools, vocational high schools, key high schools and secondary vocational schools. The age range of senior high school students in China is roughly 15- 17 years old.
There are 45,274,900 high school students and vocational school students (ordinary high school and secondary vocational education) in China. According to the data in 2006, the scale of high school education in China expanded rapidly during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, and the gross enrollment rate increased significantly. The gross enrollment rate in senior high school reached 52.7%, and the average annual growth rate of students in ordinary senior high schools was 14.93%.
With the number of high school graduates increasing year by year, even if the existing college entrance examination admission rate of 65%~70% is maintained in the next few years, the average number of college students in China will increase by more than 1 10,000 per year, of which the number of undergraduate students will increase by about 500,000 per year, which requires us to explore new paths and modes in developing popular undergraduate education.
With high school as the highest education, after graduating from high school, it can also be called high school students, meaning people with high school education.
Chinese mainland senior high school is not compulsory education, but fee-based education. Junior high school graduates need to take the junior high school level examination (also known as the senior high school entrance examination) if they want to enter a higher school for further study. According to the test results, they are comprehensively measured morally, intellectually and physically, and admitted to high school.
Ordinary high schools emphasize the education of comprehensive theory and moral literacy, and many provinces have three academic years; From the second year of ordinary high school, students can freely choose to enter liberal arts classes or science classes. In addition to studying Chinese (Chinese), mathematics (liberal arts) and foreign languages (usually English), we should also study liberal arts or science courses.
Liberal arts is generally regarded as the abbreviation of "literature and history", which generally includes politics, geography and history. Science generally includes physics, chemistry and biology. Both of them tend to cultivate the ability of humanities and natural sciences respectively. Some provinces and regions are discussing whether it is necessary to abolish the division of arts and sciences.
Vocational high school emphasizes the education of practical production and operation technology, and also has three academic years. Junior high school graduates enter through school selection examination or direct registration, and their majors are freely chosen by students. Chinese mainland's senior high school curriculum is formulated by the Ministry of Education, and elective subjects (including Japanese and Russian) are added. After the curriculum reform, many provinces have begun to implement the credit system in senior high schools.
