Every person sooner or later has to deal with the need to choose a profession. But sometimes it happens that a person does not want to go to university immediately after school. Then his choice falls on receiving any professional education in technical schools or colleges. It is also possible that after the end of nine classes a teenager also wants to receive some specialty. Then he goes to technical schools. Let’s see what secondary vocational education is.
What is secondary vocational education?
Vocational education - this is its type, which implies advanced training of students, adapted to a particular profession. In Soviet times, the main institution that provided the opportunity to obtain secondary vocational education was technical schools. Now part of them has been renamed to colleges.
At the same time, both technical schools and colleges may belong to a particular university, in which it will be possible to enter immediately into the third year. Although not everywhere like that. But certain privileges do exist. For example, more winning positions in the competition upon admission. But this depends directly on the university to which the technical school belongs.
What is the difference from vocational schools?
Many are interested in how a secondary school differs from a vocational school. In principle, now almost nothing is said about the latter. Some vocational schools have also been renamed into technical schools and colleges. In general, now there are almost no vocational schools in the form in which we used to see them before. But there are colleges and technical schools that allow you to get a secondary technical education.
Differences between STRs and NGOs
Secondary technical education differs from the initial in many factors. We list only the main ones. First of all, open source software prepares mid-level specialists. They also provide a deeper study of issues related to obtaining a profession. This happens on the basis of complete secondary, basic education, or after graduation from an NGO.
Those people who have primary technical education receive secondary education on the basis of an existing one. The training program is reduced so that there are no repetitions, and they are learning immediately new things. Thus, it is possible to improve skills. Another point that distinguishes secondary vocational technical education from NGOs is that the former can also be obtained at a higher educational institution, and institutions that provide secondary education can, if licensed, provide primary education programs.
Examples of specialties characterizing secondary technical education
In fact, if there is a desire to get acquainted and learn all the professions that are part of the secondary technical class, then it still will not work. In principle, secondary education can be obtained for a huge number of specialties, even those that many receive at universities. Naturally, the quality will be much worse. Still, there is a difference between secondary technical and higher education. Examples of specialties include marketing, management, banking, electrical, energy, and a number of other specialties.
What about distance learning?
Some believe that there will be problems with getting an extra-mural education. But this is completely wrong. Students are given a wide opportunity to receive a correspondence education.According to the standards of the system of secondary technical education, it is possible to get not only extramural, in the classical sense of the word, education, but also distance learning when training takes place via the Internet. One should not forget one moment.
If a person wants to study by correspondence or distance learning, then you need to finish school, and nothing else. So it is best to receive secondary technical education after school. At the same time, the effectiveness of training, despite the fact that they say, is far from worsening. In particular, this is because students need to do internships at enterprises associated with their chosen profession.
There, skills and the necessary practical knowledge are developed, which in the future will help you to feel great while performing your duties. Secondary technical education can be obtained in absentia. But there will be no socialization. You can simply deprive yourself of communication with people. Think you need this?
findings
We figured out the main differences between vocational schools and colleges and technical schools. Many people wonder how long it takes to learn. Each institution is different. In some you need to spend four years to master a specialty. In others, either the course is more intensive, or the specialty is easier. Therefore, you can master the specialty in two years.
But usually the average option is three years. Also, do not go to secondary schools if you want not to join the army. Studying in colleges and technical schools does not exempt from military duty. You need to think about whether it is worth going to receive secondary technical education. Specialties of a similar type can be obtained at universities. But it's up to you.
