Retrospect,Problem Analysis,and Future Path of Technical and Vocational Education Development in New China
Technical and vocational education plays an important role in cultivating skilled workers for front-line production and addressing issues such as employment.Since the establishment of New China,technical and vocational education has gone through important stages including the founding period serving the construction of the modern industrial system in China,the period of development influenced by political directives,the rapid development period under the background of economic system transformation,and the period of system construction to meet the deepening demands of the market economy.Currently,the insufficient funding has resulted in weak capacity of technical and vocational education to serve regional economic development,inadequate and low-quality student enrollment,limited development of cooperative relationships between schools and enterprises leading to low adaptability of talent,and the urgent need for improvement in the social environment for the sustained and healthy growth of skilled workers.These challenges are hindering the high-quality development of technical and vocational education.In response,efforts should be made in increasing funding,improving enrollment mechanisms,maximizing the role of enterprises,and strengthening legislation related to skilled workers to seek solutions.
