In 2024, Qin He, a deputy to the National People's Congress, put forward an important proposal, advocating a resolute ban on discriminatory policies against vocational college graduates in the recruitment of civil servants. This proposal aims to eliminate social prejudice against vocational education and to promote the equal development of vocational education and general education.
Qin He pointed out that vocational education is fundamentally different from general education, it is more directly oriented to industry enterprises and the labor market, and must be employment-oriented. However, at present, China's vocational education is facing a series of challenges, including the sharp shrinkage of secondary vocational education, the imperfect institutional mechanism for enterprises to participate in vocational education, and the tendency of vocational colleges to blindly pursue further education. These problems need to be solved urgently to promote the high-quality development of vocational education.
Qin He's suggestions include innovating the system and mechanism of school-enterprise cooperation, building a high-quality "double-teacher" teacher team, improving the curriculum and teaching material system, vigorously strengthening internship training, and improving the policy support and guarantee system. These measures are aimed at improving the quality of vocational education and enabling vocational college graduates to better adapt to the development needs of industry enterprises.
In particular, Qin He suggested that any form of discriminatory policies against vocational college graduates should be resolutely banned in the recruitment of civil servants, enterprises and institutions, and the promotion of professional titles and positions, so as to create a good social atmosphere in which vocational talents are respected and vocational college graduates have a lot to do. This recommendation is of great significance for promoting educational equity and eliminating social prejudice against vocational education.
