If you do not meet the high school score line in the high school entrance examination and are not admitted to a high school, you cannot go to high school and have to choose a vocational high school.
The difference between vocational high schools and ordinary high schools is that vocational high schools focus on training intermediate technicians and managers, intermediate technical workers and practitioners. Vocational high schools are divided into various majors, while ordinary high schools are not divided into majors.
The requirements for students in vocational high schools are: to have technical theoretical knowledge, professional knowledge and operational skills that can directly engage in a certain occupation; for basic cultural courses, they must have a level equivalent to that of ordinary high schools.
Extended information: 1. Full-time secondary vocational school academic education mainly recruits junior high school graduates or those with equivalent academic qualifications. The schooling lasts for 3 years. Upon graduation, students will be awarded a secondary vocational diploma. After taking the corresponding college entrance examination, students can enroll in ordinary colleges and universities based on their scores.

2. Some key secondary vocational schools also offer 3+2 higher vocational education classes, which are organized in cooperation with higher vocational and technical colleges and approved by relevant provincial departments to recruit fresh junior high school graduates. The academic system lasts for a total of five years and is issued to the province after graduation.
For junior college diplomas certified by the Department of Education, the first three years of the 3+2 class will be charged at technical secondary school standards, and the next two years will be charged at junior college standards.
