(Two Sessions Express) How to make up for the shortcomings of vocational education?

Representatives of the National People's Congress: Multi-party efforts are the key

  China News Service, Beijing, March 11 (Zhao Yejiao and Jinyan) To achieve high-quality development requires more highly skilled talents.

Over the years, the prejudice of "lower class" and the worry of "broken head" and "ceiling" have made the development of vocational education a long way to go.

  During the National People’s Congress and the National People’s Congress, many representatives of the National People’s Congress suggested that the government, enterprises, and society should form a joint effort to further complement the shortcomings of the vocational education system and break the ceiling of vocational education by expanding pilot vocational education at the undergraduate level and deepening the integration of production and education. ".

  Under the construction of a new development pattern of "double cycle", the promotion of industrial structure upgrading and the transformation of development methods are inseparable from vocational education.

Since the implementation of the "National Vocational Education Reform Implementation Plan", the vocational education reform has been broken one by one.

  Zheng Yali, representative of the National People’s Congress, deputy chairman of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Democratic National Construction Association, dean of Zhejiang Finance Vocational College, and deputy director of Zhejiang China Vocational Education Society, said that although vocational education has explored higher vocational colleges and undergraduate colleges in local practice. The "4+0" joint training model has promoted the joint "3+2" talent training mode of higher vocational colleges and undergraduate colleges. However, the dominant power of the joint training of higher vocational colleges and undergraduate colleges is still ordinary undergraduate colleges. Vocational colleges do not have the right to confer academic qualifications and degrees.

  In this regard, Zheng Yali suggested that the 56 high-level vocational schools with Chinese characteristics selected by the Ministry of Education in 2019 should be upgraded to vocational universities, as the main channel for the development of undergraduate-level vocational education, and to further expand the pilot work of undergraduate-level vocational education.

  In addition, Zheng Yali also proposed to speed up the revision of the "Vocational Education Law of the People's Republic of China", clarify the academic qualification system of higher vocational education including junior college, undergraduate, etc., provide a legal basis for the development of undergraduate vocational education, and remove legal obstacles.

  How to enable vocational education to better empower regional economic development, Zheng Yucai, representative of the National People’s Congress and director of the equipment department of Zhejiang Sisheng Electronics Co., Ltd., suggested to open up a new model of school-enterprise cooperation and training, and let schools understand the needs of enterprises and market In the future, the demand for talents will increase the proportion of professional technical theory courses in vocational colleges, and lay a solid theoretical foundation for the later training of technical skills dual-mode talents.

  Vocational education is an important way to cultivate "big country craftsmen", which is conducive to improving employment and serving people's livelihood.

From comprehensive poverty alleviation to consolidation of achievements, to effective connection with rural revitalization, cultivating talents is also the key.

  As a NPC representative from Jingning She Autonomous County, the only ethnic minority autonomous county in East China, Zhong Haiyan, deputy secretary of the Jingning She Autonomous County Committee of the Communist Party of China, said that although the state continues to introduce relevant policies to encourage and support occupations in ethnic areas In the development of education, there are still problems such as low quality of secondary vocational education, inflexible school-running system, low overall level of teacher professional development, and weak foundation for integration of production and education, and it is difficult to adapt to the needs of local economic development.

  Zhong Haiyan expressed the hope that the Ministry of Education will increase its assistance to secondary vocational schools in ethnic areas, and provide support for the construction of the teaching team, the optimization of disciplines, and the diversification of student development paths, such as encouraging diversified schools and guiding the entry of high-quality resources in developed regions Ethnic areas: Support Jingning to set up a national vocational skills training center in ethnic areas, and build a national vocational skills training center and a training base for high-skilled talents in ethnic areas that integrate skills training, skill upgrading, and skills verification.
