Analysis of the Legislative Paths for Industry-education Integration in Vocational Education from the Perspective of Policy Tools
The industry-education integration is a basic feature of China's vocational education.Under the new situation,with the reform of China's economic system,the modernization of vocational education and the transformation and upgrading of China's industry,higher requirements have been put forward for the integration of industry and education:Government intervention is an important measure to adjust"market failure",and a good policy environment is a necessary condition for the healthy development of the integration of industry and education.By constructing a"policy content-policy tool"analysis framework,146 central and regional industry-education integration policy texts were analyzed.The following conclusions are drawn:In terms of policy content,school-enterprise cooperation accounts for a large proportion of the text,but the provisions on property rights system construction and incentive measures are relatively vague;in terms of the use of policy tools,authoritative policy tools are the main ones,but when it comes to market entities such as enterprises,symbolic call-to-action policy tools are mainly used.Among them,policies related to corporate school running have"unclear responsibilities""unclear obligations"and"insufficient incentives"and other issues.In view of problems such as insufficient policy strength and lack of legal support for relevant regulations,more powerful policies are urgently needed.In 2023,Tianjin promulgated the"Regulations on the Promotion of the Integration of Industry and Education in Vocational Education"to respond to difficult issues arising from the implementation of the industry-education integration policy in vocational education through legal means.It has contributed"Tianjin wisdom"to China's exploration of the legal paths for the integration of industry and education and the improvement of the policy system for the industry-education integration in regional vocational education.
