A few days ago, netizens consulted on the leadership message board of People's Daily Online about matters related to the upgrading of Guangdong Communications Vocational and Technical College to a vocational undergraduate college.
The official reply said: The Guangdong Provincial Department of Education will next guide Guangdong Jiaotong Vocational and Technical College to set up standards for vocational schools at the undergraduate level, continuously improve the conditions for running schools, strive to improve the level of running schools, and further consider improving the level of running schools when the conditions are ripe in all aspects.
Attentive netizens may be able to find that in the aforementioned reply to the leader's message board, the official also mentioned:
According to the Ministry of Education's "Opinions on the Establishment of Colleges and Universities during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period" and the "Notice on Carrying out the Planning and Preparation of Colleges and Universities during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period", the establishment of vocational schools at the undergraduate level should control the rhythm and select the best among the bestIn principle, no more than 2 vocational schools at the undergraduate level will be set up in each province during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period;
The Provincial Department of Education has repeatedly actively sought from the Ministry of EducationHowever, according to the feedback, only Shenzhen Vocational and Technical College and Guangdong Light Industry Vocational and Technical College in our province are agreedVocational schools at the undergraduate level are included in the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Establishment of Colleges and Universities in Guangdong Province" (note: the "14th Five-Year Plan" period is from 2021 to 2025).
From here, we can also decipher a key message, and that is:Until the end of 2025, only two junior colleges can be included in the "14th Five-Year Plan" for the establishment of colleges and universities in Guangdong Province and have been agreed to be upgraded to vocational undergraduate colleges, namely Shenzhen Vocational College and Guangzhou Light Industry(Among them, the former has been upgraded to a vocational undergraduate degree and renamed Shenzhen Vocational and Technical University, which has been approved by the Ministry of Education; The latter was upgraded to a vocational bachelor's degree and was also publicized by the Guangdong Provincial Department of Education and reported to the Ministry of Education, which has not yet been approved and may be announced by the Ministry of Education in 2024). That is to say,In addition to the Shenzhen Vocational College and Guangzhou Light Industry, there is no junior college in Guangdong that can achieve the goal of upgrading to a vocational bachelor's degree before 2025.
So, what are the Guangdong colleges and universities that have been put forward by the local government and the school itself to sprint to the goal of vocational undergraduates? Let's review it together.
This year, the second congress of Guangzhou Panyu Vocational and Technical College was successfully held. On behalf of the current Party Committee, Lin Qiasheng, Secretary of the Party Committee, made a work report entitled "Concentrate on Seeking Development, Work Hard, and Strive for a High-level Vocational and Technical University".
He said that he will continue to promote the construction of "double highs", comprehensively improve the level of connotation construction, strive to create a new situation in running schools, strive to create a high-level vocational and technical university, and contribute to the high-quality development of China's vocational education.
Substantial breakthroughs have been made in the establishment of vocational schools at the undergraduate level, and we will continue to benchmark against national policies and standards, make every effort to prepare and demonstrate the conditions of vocational schools at the undergraduate level, strive to set up as "Guangzhou Vocational and Technical University" as soon as possible, and steadily promote the increase in the setting of undergraduate majors year by year.
In September this year, Shenzhen Information Vocational and Technical College held a new semester work conference, and Miao Ningli, Secretary of the Party Committee of the school, emphasized that it is necessary to make every effort to promote four major tasks, namely, high-standard preparation for the acceptance of "double high" construction, comprehensive completion of the preparation of cost upgrading indicators, comprehensive completion of various tasks of "creating first-class", and actively coordinating and promoting the construction of the new campus.

In addition to the expansion of the existing campus, the new campus is also in the pipeline. In May 2023, it was reported that the new campus of Shenzhen Information Vocational and Technical College, the Shenzhen-Shantou Campus, is expected to settle in Lufeng City, Shanwei.
In addition, as early as January 2022, the "14th Five-Year Plan for Education Development in Shenzhen" proposed to build the Shenzhen-Shantou Campus of Shenzhen Information Vocational and Technical College at a high level, and accelerate the promotion of Shenzhen Information Vocational and Technical College to become a vocational undergraduate school.

In July 2022, Guangzhou Railway Vocational and Technical College issued the "14th Five-Year Plan", proposing to take "building Guangzhou Railway Vocational and Technical University" as an important development goal, and focusing on the two strategic tasks of building "double high" and upgrading to undergraduate.
It is worth mentioning that, according to the news of Guangzhou ** in January 2022, Guangzhou Railway Vocational Institute has submitted an application to the Provincial Department of Education, hoping to include Guangzhou Railway Vocational and Technical University (tentative name) in the "14th Five-Year Plan" for the establishment of higher education institutions in Guangdong Province. In addition, Zhang Zhuyun, Secretary of the Party Committee of Guangzhou Railway Vocational Institute, said that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the school has met the requirements of the Ministry of Education in terms of school scale, professional setting, teaching staff, talent training, scientific research and social services.
In November 2021, the front page of the "Civil Aviation News of China" published "Building a High-level Vocational University and Building the Banner of Civil Aviation Vocational Education - The Road to High-quality Development of Guangzhou Civil Aviation Vocational and Technical College", which mentions: Strictly control the conditions of the "Standards for the Establishment of Vocational Education at the Undergraduate Level (Trial)", concentrate advantageous resources, and focus on six undergraduate-level vocational education majors, such as aviation electromechanical equipment maintenance technology, smart airport operation and management, and civil aviation transport service and management, and carry out undergraduate-level vocational education.
In line with the needs of the industry and enterprises, 8 vocational education undergraduate majors such as aviation power plant maintenance technology, general aviation aviation technology, and aviation intelligent manufacturing technology have been gradually added. For emerging industries, two undergraduate majors in vocational education such as unmanned aerial vehicle system application technology have been added. At the same time, we will establish a dynamic adjustment mechanism for majors with the development of the industry, and strive to build 16 undergraduate majors or professional directions of vocational education by 2030, and gradually form a professional system with engineering-oriented, outstanding characteristics, reasonable structure and mutual support, and become a vocational college at the undergraduate level.
In January 2022, the school once again stated in its New Year's speech: seize the opportunity and actively promote the work of vocational educationMove forward with courage and perseverance towards the goal of building a high-level vocational university.
In December this year, Guangdong Province issued the development plan for the five major metropolitan areas of Guangzhou, Shenzhen, the west bank of the Pearl River Estuary, Shanchaojie and Zhanmao, which clearly supported the preparation, capital upgrading, renaming, and high-quality development of many universities.
In the Zhanmao metropolitan area, it is proposed to promote the junior college to undergraduate project of Guangdong Vocational College of Arts and Sciences (Phase II).
