after getting her scores in the shanghai high school entrance examination, noya has been feeling uneasy.


although her daughter's score can successfully reach the general and high school level, noya is not very sure whether her daughter will be admitted to nakamoto pass, her first choice.


once upon a time, noya was obsessed with sending her daughter, who had been happily educated since childhood, to the international track. however, the increasing cost of studying abroad, the turbulent international situation, and increasingly fierce competition made her start to re-plan her daughter's education route.


the nhkt has also become another popular path for further education, whether to go overseas or take the college entrance examination.



however, in the past two years, noya also clearly feels that nakamoto penetration is becoming more and more popular.


"for example, a month ago, when we went to the nakamoto japan pass interview, there were already more than 1,000 interview numbers at noon. when the interview ended at 4 p.m., candidates were still arriving at the door, and the interview numbers were almost 1,500."


the major that noya's family wants to apply for this year is planned to enroll no more than 30 students. this also means that noya's daughter's score must be among the top 30 among the 1,500 students to have any hope of admission.


competition is everywhere. so,for ordinary children, is nakamoto pass really the better solution on their way to higher education?


if you get into high school, you may not get into a good university.


nowadays, most parents are no longer unfamiliar with the "chinese-bachelor of education" education path.


as early as 2014, the shanghai municipal education commission issued the "notice on carrying out secondary vocational education - pilot work on the application of undergraduate education through training model", officially launching the pilot work of "chinese-based through".


children who are admitted to the "chongqing normal university entrance examination" must first complete three years of study in a secondary vocational college. after passing the transfer examination organized by the municipal education commission, they can enter the university campus together with their classmates who entered the college entrance examination. after completing four years, applied learning at undergraduate level.


although there are talks of "cancellation of central japan connect" every year, ten years later in 2024,shanghai central university has added 8 new majors, with a total enrollment plan of 2,202 students.there are 133 more students than last year (2,069 students), and the enrollment scale has further expanded.


new majors added to shanghai zhongben pass in 2024


when he first heard about nakamoto guntsu, noya didn’t take it to heart.


noah, who came out of the college entrance examination army, once took it for granted that the college entrance examination was a baptism that every middle school student would experience.


although the national college entrance examination does not require the college entrance examination, its corresponding undergraduate majors are mostly applied undergraduate majors.this meanswhen children graduate from junior high school, it is necessary to determine their future career direction.


also,in the future, children’s efforts will also have a “ceiling”——you can only go to the corresponding university, which also limits the possibility of more development.. what's more, the children will have to stay in secondary vocational schools for three years.


noah couldn't accept it emotionally. however, her daughter's score was only hovering around the average-high level. she thought about it over and over again, but found that nakamoto pass was the most suitable choice at this stage.



firstly, children with high scores in shanghai are given special examsnoya found out after asking around her friends, “if you want to pass the exam,shanghai university, children will reach the upper reaches of the school level in ordinary city key middle schools. "



taking the 2023 college entrance examination admission score as an example, if you want to be admitted to a 985 school in shanghai, you have to get into the top 7.6% of the city; if you don't study the nursing major of haiyang medical university, the lowest admission score for the local 211 universities is shanghai university, and candidates need to get into the city's top 7.6%. the top 19.1%.


"even if she works hard for three years in high school, she will definitely not be able to easily get admitted to a local 211 college like i did when college enrollment expanded."


secondly, noya also considered the cost-effectiveness of future employment.changes in overseas study policies and the increasing cost of studying abroad made noya no longer confident that her family's financial resources were sufficient to support her daughter's future.


“some of the undergraduate colleges that offer a comprehensive undergraduate program will offer many top majors, such asshanghai business schoolthe newly added hotel management may provide better employment in the future. "


although she was unwilling to do so, noya, who accepted the reality, began to seriously study the possibility of her daughter's "nakamoto pass".


take the initiative to explore and explore new paths for further studies



she told the bund that her son was in the third year of junior high school at the time, and the academic pressure brought their family to a state of near mental collapse. if you use a line chart to describe joe's son's academic performance over the years, then the first part is a straight line that has been climbing, but then it is a cliff-like decline.


"he was in the first echelon in kindergarten and elementary school. when he was promoted to junior high school, he was admitted to a key class in a public school, and his best score was among the top 20 in the grade. but at this time, the epidemic came, and adults had to go to work during the day, and three years of online classes (let he) came into contact with the game, and his grades suddenly dropped from the top of the class to the bottom.”


joe calls it an "earth-shaking" change - in the past, children were smart and well-behaved, and parents didn't need to worry about it. but after his grades fluctuated, joe was often called out by teachers in the parent group. for this reason, joe had to give up many job opportunities and urge his children to study.


the direct consequence of this is that the child becomes more and more disgusted with learning, and the relationship between mother and child becomes extremely tense.


joe confessed that although she could sympathize with her children's pressure and some outrageous ideas deep down, facing the pressure of going to school, she could only repeat some polite words against her will, which made her feel very embarrassed.


"an adolescent child sits in front of the computer from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. every day. as an adult, i can't sit still, let alone a child. to be honest, i am very disgusted deep down."


over the years, joe has met parents who race against time, holding stopwatches to calculate how long it takes their children to go to the toilet; he has also seen many children who come home from school on friday and fall asleep, and then make up for classes non-stop on weekends...


almost all of them have dark circles under their eyes and a gray face. it is rare to see the vigor of teenagers.. "the overwhelming pressure to go to school makes children live on a timetable, and their sleep time has been compressed to less than 5 hours a day.


just thinking about living like this for another three years makes joe feel a little suffocated. "ask yourself,even if my son successfully achieves a "counterattack" in high school in the future, can i bear the price behind it?



joe has also analyzed the possibility of his children taking the college entrance examination in the future, but the energy and effort of studying hard for three years is a huge test for any family.


for example, the cost of three years of make-up classes is not a small amount of money.


"for example, the extracurricular knowledge expansion in my third year of junior high school cost about 600 yuan one-on-one, which is still a median. there are many families who spend more than 1,000 yuan on one-on-one education. my good friend's children cost more than 10,000 yuan. one-on-one. and there will be dedicated teachers not only for chinese and math, but also for history and physical education.”


if you continue to join the "make-up class army" in the three years of high school, this will be a huge expense. but not making up classes at all, she thinks, is unrealistic: "difficult content to improve scores mostly relies on improvement outside school. this phenomenon will only become more and more common in high school."


secondly, there is even heavier academic pressure.


joe also asked several friends who have children in high school, and the feedback she received made her heart sink.


"they say that compared to high school life, the third year of junior high school is paradise, because now high school has exams every year, and there are many more courses in high school than in junior high school, so children have no chance to breathe."


therefore, even though her son's current grades would ensure that he could be admitted to an ordinary key middle school in the city, she still chose nakamoto tongtong for her son.


china-japan connectivity requires long-term planning


choosing nakamoto tongtong is also an adventure from a certain perspective.


during the seven years of study at nhk, students cannot change their majors at will, and the seven-year study period is particularly lengthy in response to the ever-changing market and employment environment.


therefore, boldly embrace joe, who is well versed in nakamoto,when choosing a career and school for your child that will provide you with a comprehensive education, you should be extremely careful.


she found many chinese universities that she liked, and inquired about the subject settings, major content, class ethos, and employment rates of undergraduate colleges in advance. she also consulted managers with unique insights in the workplace to understand the relevant majors from a market perspective. application prospects.


based on the data obtained from the workplace and the school, many undergraduate colleges and universities with integrated undergraduate programs have good employment rates and development prospects.



for example, among the 2023 graduates of shanghai university of technology, the undergraduate employment rate reached 97.69%. there are many employment units such as shanghai construction engineering, state railway corporation, china tobacco, state grid and other key national units.


students who choose to continue their studies include those who have been admitted to key universities such as shanghai tongji, east china institute of technology, and nanjing aerospace, while others have gone abroad to study and applied to overseas universities such as the university of sydney, hong kong polytechnic, and the university of melbourne.

employment quality report for 2023 graduates


also,the quality of nakamoto’s students is also quite good.



in 2023, the admission scores of almost all majors in shanghai's central basic education program will far exceed the 525-point general high-level line. among them, the admission score of the most popular shanghai commercial accounting school to shanghai electric power university chamber of commerce is 665.5 points, which is 6 points higher than the admission score of xuhui district china middle school (a district key middle school).


shanghai commercial accounting school once revealed that more than 60% of parents majoring in information security have a bachelor's degree or above, and many parents themselves are engaged in data, network, information and other related work.


visible,many middle-class families in shanghai are breaking the stereotype that vocational schools are not as good as ordinary high schools and becoming more rational and pragmatic.


taking into account his son's preference for handicrafts, joe chose a major for his son that was in line with the country's future economic development trend and was in short supply of talents. she believes that even if these majors are no longer popular in the future, seven years of solid professional foundation will allow them to have a place in the future job market.


of course, choosing nakamoto tongtong does not mean giving up and lying down.


in actual teaching, some secondary vocational colleges have lax management and haphazard curriculum arrangements; there are also children who are too relaxed and lose the motivation to learn.


joy's son was admitted to the central basic comprehensive class with a score 20 points higher than the general high school entrance examination. however, in the past few years in secondary vocational schools, apart from chinese and mathematics, there have been obscure and profound professional courses, and joy's son has been somewhat uncomfortable with them.the school's loose management also allowed his son to further indulge in mobile online games, and his grades dropped from first in the class to the bottom ten in the class.



joy, who had just put her mind down for a short time, picked it up again. she found that in this year's transfer exam, many candidates reported that mathematics was much more difficult than before.


although the passing rate of the nhk general entrance examination is above 90%, in the past, the majors that were 100% successful in transferring to the next level,this year, there were also some students who failed to successfully transfer to another class, and in the end they could only get a secondary vocational diploma.


joy obviously couldn't accept this result, so she went round and round. recently, she began to look for teachers who specialize in tutoring for nakamoto.


"although students who have passed through the national high school entrance examination do not have to fight to the death on the single-plank bridge of the college entrance examination, in fact, the score is about 450 points compared to the college entrance examination (shanghaifull marks660 points) high school students, at the same 'starting line',how can the future be easy without hard work?


is it easy to pass nakamoto pass?

that's the wrong way to open it!


what is it like to study at nhkt?


bella, who ranked first in the class that year, was admitted to the first comprehensive class of materials engineering.she successfully graduated from shanghai university of technology this year and has no regrets about her seven years of study.


bella, won the shanghai scholarship,

the first secondary vocational national scholarship and other honors


perhaps it is due to the emphasis on students with high scores, in life,the school has equipped today's nakamoto students with four-room dormitories that were originally equipped for junior college students.; learning,we also strictly monitor their performance in language, mathematics, and professional courses.


"our class couldn't participate in any competitions or activities at that time. even the school's physical education teacher couldn't ask me to play basketball. we were almost 'isolated' from the world. until my freshman year in high school, i maintained the first place in my grades. only then are they allowed to participate in some activities and competitions.”


it’s also these competitions,it allowed bella to see a broader world outside pugao.


“it’s hard to imagine that even in secondary vocational colleges there are many talented students, some of whom are unable to enter high school due to policy reasons, but their learning ability is comparable to students from key cities in the city.


for example, a senior student like me won the first prize in national competitions and industry competitions when she was in technical secondary school, and directly obtained the senior professional qualification certificate;


i also have a classmate who is very talented in doing analytical chemistry experiments, and the results of each experiment are very accurate.it's a pity that few people know this, because on the general path to higher education, there will never be bonus points like analytical chemistry experiments. "



she, who graduated from nakamoto tongtong this year, also discovered that many secondary vocational colleges that implement nakatuni tongtong.both the class setting and the course depth are relatively weak.


therefore, after entering undergraduate studies,some students have lost three years of solid subject training in high school.there are more or less weak links in academic studies.


"subjects such as advanced mathematics and college physics are taught separately from the classes that have passed the college entrance examination. even by 2022,our school has also specially launched advanced mathematics and college physics textbooks for secondary school students.. after all, we didn’t study in depth at chongben pass. it would be difficult to make up for these vacant courses in three years. "


bella also talked with the junior students from the last two classes, and she found that whether it was her current class or the following nakamoto general classes,it takes time to adapt to the pace of university study.


"for example, in our probability theory at that time, only four or five people including me passed the overall evaluation, and the remaining 20 or so people had to retake the exam; in the junior class, the whole class passed the engineering mechanics course in one go. four...


the whole process must be very painful, because we have not experienced the pressure of the college entrance examination. we have to take four or five courses in a week, and the subjects are very difficult. we are definitely not as good as the students who entered the college entrance examination. "


in particular, the promulgation of the "degree law" in 2025 stipulates the training objectives, degree awarding standards, training models, and degree defense forms for different degrees.


this also gave bella a premonition that university education in the future will be more strict and standardized.it is still necessary to appropriately expand the knowledge base and strengthen the reserve of subject ability.




of course, there are also students who perform well in nhk. because i received good vocational training, i entered the university experimental class. whether it is the cleanliness, accuracy or standardization of operations in experiments, nakamoto students can achieve outstanding performance.


"i thinkthe biggest advantage of nakamoto is that you have enough time and energy to do what you want to do.this must be helpful to our body and mind. "


for bella, the biggest gain from the past seven years of nakamoto is the opportunity to become a shining self.


for a long time in nakamoto, bella would take a walk on the playground after studying at 7:30 in the evening and practice her spoken english. she also bought a year of english learning software and practiced english on her mobile phone whenever she had time. if the dormitory is noisy, she will go to the corridor to practice.


"it will definitely attract a lot of strange looks, but i know it myself.the three years of studying in a technical secondary school do not mean that i can only study in a technical secondary school in the future.


in fact, there are many people like bella who are as diligent in learning. some have taken advantage of the three years in secondary school to study a level courses seriously; some have regained their past hobbies of playing piano and painting and studied further; and some have studied university courses in advance to lay a foundation for the future.


these visible and invisible efforts will not be in vain. in the summer vacation of 2018, bella participated in a two-week study tour in the uk organized by the shanghai municipal government. it was that overseas experience that allowed her to see different beautiful scenery and explore more possibilities for further studies.


"those with starry eyes will surely find their ideal way out. turn on the wide-angle lens, and all roads in this world lead to rome."
