The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that it is necessary to coordinate the collaborative innovation of higher education, vocational education and continuing education, promote the integration of vocational education, industry and education, science and education, and optimize the positioning of vocational education types.
Fan Chunhai said, "Although China's vocational education has established a channel from secondary vocational schools to junior vocational colleges and then to undergraduate vocational colleges, vocational undergraduate education needs to be further improved in terms of scale and social recognition. Vocational education provides students with The options offered are still limited compared to the general education system.”
"Affected by factors such as the expansion of higher education and the conceptual system of academic society, the labor market still recognizes general education qualifications better than vocational education." Fan Chunhai found in the survey, "Although the country recognizes continuing education qualifications, in practice During the recruitment and promotion process, some companies or units do not recognize continuing education qualifications.”
In addition, due to the fragmentation of the supply and use of human resources, human resources cannot be optimally allocated and flow freely according to market needs. The skill formation of enterprise employees is also in a state of "fragmentation" before and after employment, which is not conducive to the construction of a skills-based society.
In this regard, he suggested that we should vigorously promote equality of social status in higher education, vocational education, and continuing education, and implement vocational enlightenment education as an education system across the country, especially in the basic education stage, to guide parents and students to recognize their own characteristics and interests, and to Understand your own abilities and gradually change the main method of "diversion from general vocational education" based on scores; general higher education must clearly include the connotation of vocational education, vigorously advocate and implement school-enterprise cooperation, and the integration of industry and education, especially in applied education, including engineering, Disciplines and majors such as agriculture and medicine are the core of the integration of engineering education and vocational education; we vigorously promote "academic-vocational crossover", develop continuing education extensively, encourage in-service personnel to continue learning, and organically connect professional titles, vocational qualification certificates, etc. Build a learning society.
"To coordinate higher education, vocational education, and continuing education, we should start with evaluation reform and the reform of the college entrance examination system to solve the problem of educational segmentation in the allocation of higher education resources." Fan Chunhai believes that the key to reform is to do a good job in "export evaluation" and implement "Leadership in entry and strict exit" will increase the employer's participation and voice in the talent training process, thereby increasing the recognition of continuing education qualifications among employers.
"The integration of the general college entrance examination and the vocational education college entrance examination is the key to promoting the integration of vocational education and general education." He also suggested that some highly professional vocational education courses be included in the elective subjects of the general college entrance examination to enhance the professionalization of general high school courses.
At the same time, through special plans, policy guidance and other means, we will promote more undergraduate colleges and universities to admit vocational education students based on their vocational education college entrance examination scores.
In addition, Fan Chunhai suggested strengthening the mutual recognition of qualifications and qualifications in higher education, vocational education, and continuing education, formulating a national qualifications and qualifications framework system, establishing a national credit bank system, establishing a top-level system design for the certification and transformation of learning results, and improving the lifelong education system. .
