Deputy Qin He suggested deepening the reform of vocational education with employment as the guide
With the convening of the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress in 2024, delegates have offered suggestions for the future development of the country. Among them, a proposal by Qin He, a deputy to the National People's Congress and president of Jilin University of Foreign Chinese, has attracted widespread attention. She put forward the "Suggestions on Deepening the Reform of Vocational Education Oriented to Employment", which aims to promote vocational education to better meet market demand and improve students' employment competitiveness.
Deputy Qin He clearly pointed out in his proposal that there are still some problems in vocational education in terms of personnel training, teacher construction, curriculum system, etc., which have led to the low employment competitiveness of vocational education graduates and the difficulty in meeting the needs of the market. Therefore, she put forward five specific suggestions to deepen the reform of vocational education and improve the quality of vocational education.
First of all, Deputy Qin He emphasized the need to innovate the system and mechanism of school-enterprise cooperation. She believes that vocational education should be closely aligned with market demand and cooperate with enterprises to jointly cultivate talents. Through school-enterprise cooperation, schools can more accurately understand the needs of enterprises for talents, adjust teaching content and methods, and make the students more in line with the requirements of the market.
Secondly, she proposed to create an effective "double-teacher" teacher team. This means that vocational education teachers need to be able to teach and practice both theoretically and practically. Such a teaching staff will help to improve students' practical ability and employability competitiveness.
Third, Deputy Qin He believes that it is necessary to improve and improve the curriculum and textbook system. She suggested that the curriculum content should be updated according to market demand and professional standards, and new teaching methods and means should be introduced to make vocational education closer to reality and the market.
Fourth, she stressed the importance of vigorously strengthening internship training. Internship training is an important part of vocational education, through which students can better combine theoretical knowledge with practice, and improve their practical ability and professional quality.
Finally, Deputy Qin He called for the improvement of the policy support guarantee system. She believes that the first should play a greater role in the reform of vocational education, and promote the development of vocational education by formulating relevant policies, providing financial support and policy guidance. At the same time, she also specifically mentioned that in the recruitment of civil servants, enterprises and institutions, and the promotion of professional titles, it is necessary to resolutely ban any form of discriminatory policies against vocational college graduates, and create a fairer employment environment for vocational college graduates.
Deputy Qin He's suggestion has received extensive attention and positive response from the delegates and all walks of life. Many believe that her proposal hits the nail on the head of the current reform of vocational education and points out the direction for the development of vocational education. At the same time, her suggestions also reflect the care and support for vocational education graduates, and help to enhance the status and recognition of vocational education in society.
Deputy Qin He's "Proposal on Deepening the Reform of Vocational Education Oriented to Employment" provides new ideas and directions for the reform of vocational education. We look forward to the joint efforts of the first and all sectors of society, vocational education can continue to deepen the reform, improve the quality, and cultivate more high-quality technical and skilled talents for economic and social development.
In order to achieve the goal of vocational education reform proposed by Qin He, we need to start from multiple levels and form an all-round reform pattern with the participation of schools, enterprises and society.
* At the level, the top-level design and overall planning of vocational education should be strengthened. Develop clearer and more specific vocational education policies to ensure that vocational education is on an equal footing with general education, and even give more support and preference in certain areas. At the same time, establish and improve the quality monitoring and evaluation mechanism of vocational education, and regularly evaluate the teaching quality and employment situation of vocational colleges to ensure the effective use of educational resources and the continuous improvement of teaching quality.
At the school level, vocational colleges should actively respond to the suggestions of Qin He's representatives and take the initiative to establish close cooperative relations with enterprises. Through the teaching mode of school-enterprise cooperation and combination of engineering and learning, students can get in touch with the real working environment and understand the operation mode and market demand of the enterprise during their time in school. In addition, the school should also increase the training and introduction of "double-teacher" teachers, improve teachers' practical ability and teaching level, and provide students with better teaching resources.
At the enterprise level, enterprises should actively participate in the reform of vocational education and work with vocational colleges to formulate talent training programs and teaching plans. By providing internship and training positions, participating in curriculum setting and textbook compilation, etc., the advanced technology and management experience of enterprises are introduced into vocational education, so as to help students better adapt to market demand and achieve high-quality employment.
At the social level, the publicity and guidance of vocational education should be strengthened, and the awareness and recognition of vocational education should be improved. By holding vocational skills competitions and commending outstanding vocational and skilled talents, we will create a social atmosphere of respect for labor and skills, so that more people are willing to choose vocational education and devote themselves to skilled labor.
In short, Deputy Qin He's proposal pointed out the direction for the reform of vocational education, but the success of the reform requires the joint efforts and cooperation of schools, enterprises and all parties in society. Let us work together to contribute wisdom and strength to the construction of a modern vocational education system with Chinese characteristics.
