进入二十一世纪后,招生难成为中职教育发展困境的集中体现。通过选取东中西部三个代表性省份,考察我国中职教育免费政策对于区域中职教育发展的影响。整体来看,在豫陕两省,伴随“中央请客,中央买单”的一系列政策的出台,中职教育招生有所好转,但是内部结构的变化并不一致,表现为城市职业教育普遍受益,但是县域职教依然未能普遍好转,一部分欠发达县的职教生源仍在下滑。在浙江,中职教育招生有一定幅度的滑坡,下滑集中在“小政府、大社会”的温台地区,以及集中在浙江经济最发达的一类县市。“中央请客,地方买单”的资助政策对浙江职教产生了显著的负面影响。 Into the twenty-first century, enrollment difficult to become a concentrated manifestation of the plight of secondary education. By selecting three representative provinces in the eastern, central and western regions, this part examines the influence of the free policy of secondary vocational education on the development of regional secondary vocational education. Overall, in the two provinces of Henan and Shaanxi Province, with the introduction of a series of policies such as “Central Visiting and Central Purchasing,” the enrollment of secondary vocational education has been somewhat improved. However, the internal structural changes have been inconsistent, showing the widespread benefit of urban vocational education However, vocational education in the county still failed to improve generally. Some part-time vocational education students in underdeveloped counties are still declining. In Zhejiang, there was a certain degree of decline in the enrollment of secondary vocational education. The decline was concentrated in the Wentai region where “small government and big society” fell and in the most economically developed counties and cities in Zhejiang. “Central hospitality, local pay ” funding policy on Zhejiang vocational education had a significant negative impact.
