This study conducts on-site interviews to assess the current status of provincial vocational education entrance examination systems. By integrating the best practice of the reform of the national college entrance examination and the characteristics of vocational education, the study proposes a design of the“One Core, Two Wheels, Four Layers, Four Wings”model. This design emphasizes the values of character building, talent selection, and education guidance. It highlights the distinct characteristics of vocational education, enhances the scientific quality and flexibility of the examination system by assessing through four distinct layers, namely, core values, subject and professional competencies, key abilities, and essential knowledge, and addresses the foundational, comprehensive, applied, and occupational aspects. In doing so, it caters to the diverse educational needs of students and promotes educational equity. |
