Vocational education: a new motive force for the future development of education in China.
First, the status quo of the development of vocational education

1. The basic role of vocational education in cultivating high-quality labor force and high-skilled talents is not obvious.

At present, in the whole employment level of our country, there is a phenomenon that the employment of college students is relatively difficult and the supply of senior technicians is in short supply, and the problems of unbalanced labor structure and low quality are prominent. Due to the lack of professional labor and highly skilled technicians, it is difficult to transform the means of production into actual productivity. Although modern management mode and sophisticated talents can be introduced from abroad, a large number of skilled workers and senior technicians still need vocational education to train them. However, the importance of vocational education, as the cradle of high-skilled personnel training, has not been highlighted, leading to the neglect of the development of vocational education in society.

2. The important role of vocational education in the construction of new countryside has not been fully reflected.

With the continuous advancement of the country's new rural construction, the demand for new farmers who know technology, culture and management is increasing, which is an urgent need for the construction of new socialist countryside and an important basis for the transfer of surplus labor. Vocational education, as an educational form to continuously improve personal vocational skills and quality, should devote itself to improving farmers' professional skills and agricultural skills, constantly adjusting rural industrial structure, and realizing the transformation of rural human resources into human capital. However, at present, vocational education has not penetrated into rural areas on a large scale, so it cannot play a role in the construction of new countryside.

Second, the future development direction of vocational education

1. Establish a vocational education system with its own characteristics.

As an important way to promote the development of regional economy and the whole economy, vocational education aims at cultivating applied technical talents in production, construction, management and service industries, which requires the school-running system of vocational education to adapt to social development and the requirements of the times. In the process of running a school, vocational education should take market demand as the basic orientation and premise, social resources as the support, and post demand as the important content of vocational training, establish an education and teaching system with vocational education style and characteristics, and continuously improve the teaching quality. In the process of vocational education, its talent training goal is to train middle and senior practical talents for regional economic development. Therefore, we should attach importance to the cultivation of practical operation ability, problem-solving ability and technological innovation ability, adhere to flexible school-running methods, offer specialties urgently needed by the market, broaden the subject knowledge and meet the basic needs of training objectives.

2. Vocational education should highlight the attribute and value of lifelong education.

With the continuous development and progress of society, especially the accelerating pace of knowledge updating, lifelong education as a form of education began to appear. Vocational education, as an education to cultivate individuals to form certain vocational skills and qualities, will inevitably become an important way to realize lifelong education. Especially with the emergence of all kinds of new jobs in the world, every worker is facing the pressure of updating knowledge, and improving skills and updating knowledge has become the key issue for workers. Vocational education, as a way to train individuals to form professional skills, should highlight its role, infiltrate the value concept of lifelong education into the process of social development, and emphasize the value of the basic educational attribute of vocational education.

3. Relying on the government to improve the development mechanism of vocational education.

First of all, vocational education should form a system of training before recruitment, give priority to skilled talents who have obtained academic certificates and qualification certificates in vocational colleges, and comprehensively standardize the certification system of vocational certificates. Secondly, we should speed up the training of skilled personnel, especially the training of double-qualified teachers, and fully ensure the effective implementation of the national policy of training skilled personnel. Thirdly, it is necessary to establish a security system, cooperate with the rural surplus labor force to realize the transfer and industrial transformation, and ensure the full employment of the labor force. At the same time, it is necessary to establish and improve the talent training and evaluation model with vocational education characteristics to promote the standardized development of vocational education. It is necessary to strengthen the application of credit system in vocational education system and establish and improve the basic system of work-study program. Finally, it is necessary to improve the assistance system for poor families in vocational education and help these students complete skills training and achieve employment.

To sum up, vocational education plays an important role in the whole education and teaching system. It plays an important role in promoting a harmonious society and building a new countryside. However, there are still many problems in China's vocational education, such as the basic function is not obvious, the basic value of skills training can not be fully exerted, and the training content and scope are relatively shallow. These problems and defects have greatly affected the development of China market, so it is necessary to constantly improve the development system of vocational education, strengthen the all-round development of vocational education, and provide more specialized and skilled talents for the market.
