The first world vocational education conference was held in China
On August 19, the first World Conference on the development of Vocational and technical education, sponsored by the Ministry of education, the National Commission for UNESCO and the Tianjin Municipal People's government, opened ceremoniously. About 700 representatives from 123 countries around the world will "gather" in Tianjin through online and offline integration.
Development is the first priority, and talent is the first resource. Vocational education, which is most closely and directly related to economic and social development, is an important part of national education. The leap from "manufacturing power" to "manufacturing power" is inseparable from having more large country craftsmen, and vocational education is the "cradle" of cultivating large country craftsmen. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, vocational education has achieved a new historical leap, and its attraction, influence and competitiveness have been continuously enhanced. At present, China has built the largest vocational education system in the world, with 11200 vocational schools and more than 29.15 million students. Secondary and vocational schools train about 10 million high-quality technical and skilled talents every year, providing strong support for promoting economic and social development and improving national competitiveness.
While seeing the great "quantitative change", we should also see that China's vocational education is far from the fundamental "qualitative change", and there is still a large room for development. By holding the world vocational education conference and establishing effective mechanisms and channels for international exchange and cooperation of vocational education, it is conducive to strengthening self-confidence on the road, recognizing its own shortcomings, finding the right direction, improving and consolidating the development path of vocational education with Chinese characteristics, providing new powerful driving force for the high-quality development of China's vocational education, and enhancing the international influence of China's vocational education. The first world vocational college skills competition and the world vocational education industry education integration cloud Expo to be held during the conference will undoubtedly promote the "hot" and "fragrant" of vocational education.
In 2019, the State Council issued the national vocational education reform implementation plan; In 2021, the general office of the CPC Central Committee and the general office of the State Council issued the opinions on promoting the high-quality development of modern vocational education; This year, the vocational education law was revised and promulgated for the first time in 26 years. The intensive introduction of legal systems and policy measures has provided strong support for the high-quality development of vocational education. The World Conference on vocational education has created an important opportunity to jointly promote the high-quality development of global vocational education, and it is timely to focus on the focus and efficiency to promote the "acceleration" of modern vocational education in China.
At present, China has established stable contacts with more than 70 countries and international organizations in vocational education, and has established 20 "Luban workshops" in 19 overseas countries. China's vocational education talent training standards and professional construction quality have been widely recognized internationally. However, when the development is not completed, to promote the high-quality development of modern vocational education, it is particularly necessary to accelerate the pace of building a modern vocational education system. Only by strengthening the characteristics of vocational education types, improving the school running system integrating industry and education, innovating the school enterprise cooperative school running mechanism, creating the brand of vocational education with Chinese characteristics, and realizing the continuous improvement of the modern vocational education system with vertical and horizontal integration, can we provide strong talents and skills support for the comprehensive construction of a socialist modern country.
The wind is blowing and the sail is just in time. The World Conference on the development of Vocational and technical education has set up a brand-new platform for international exchange and cooperation of vocational education, and China's vocational education will also usher in a brand-new future. We should act in accordance with the times, promote the high-quality development of high-level vocational education, and speed up our progress towards the "new blue ocean" of a strong country with skills.
