In plain words
The 2022 Vocational Education Law (职业教育法) states that vocational education and general education are equally important. Secondary vocational schools can admit students through a continuous pathway into higher vocational colleges (高职), and those colleges must set aside enrollment places or hold separate exams specifically for secondary vocational graduates. Employers also may not set barriers against you because you graduated from a vocational school. Falling short of the score for regular high school means taking a different road, not stopping at a middle-school education.
