Initiation Methods and Policy Space:An Analytical Framework for Vocational Education Policy Pilots
The vocational education policy pilot is an important way for some regions to take the lead and accumulate experience in vocational education reform.In the vocational education policy pilot designated by the central government,the central government is the main initiator and promoter.While in the vocational education policy pilot independently initiated by the local government,its action strategy is deeply influenced by the cen-tral government,although the local government has a certain policy space.According to the initiation methods of vocational education policy pilots and the space of local government policy,vocational education policy pilot can be divided into four ideal models:directive pilot,authorized pilot,exploratory pilot and open pilot.Through the interpretation of four cases of vocational education policy pilots,including the city pilot of integration of indus-try and education,the construction of the national vocational education reform pilot zone,the construction of a modern vocational education system and the separate enrollment pilot of higher vocational colleges,the connota-tion and logic of the four vocational education policy pilot models were explained.
