City Team Does Well at Junior High Skills Competition

[Staff Report]

At the recent junior high vocational skills competition, the city team entered food processing, electrical and electronics, and home economics, placing third in the team category.

Twenty-four teams took part, the organizers said. Tasks were based on the practical work of each field, and scoring focused on procedure and the finished product.

The team's teacher said the students practiced after school and on weekends for nearly three months. "Kids in vocational classes don't always shine on written tests, but give them a tool and it's a different story."

Education officials said award winners can count the result in vocational admissions; details are available from school guidance offices.
