Reflections on getting out of the current predicament of vocational education
Therefore, the Ministry of Education has put forward the policy of developing general education and higher vocational education. As the front line of production and service of various enterprises, institutions and research institutes, vocational school students are an indispensable and important force in China's economic construction. However, faced with the enrollment expansion of major universities and the surge of private universities, vocational and technical schools generally face a serious shortage of students, and the employment situation is not optimistic. How to get out of the current predicament is a major issue faced by vocational and technical schools.

In order to survive and develop in the fierce market competition, vocational and technical schools need to improve their internal strength, improve the quality of running schools, intensify reforms and take the road of running schools jointly. We should keep up with the market demand, appropriately change the major direction and adjust the curriculum to expand the employment of graduates and attract more students. It is necessary to know what jobs and technical professionals are needed in today's social and economic market, so as to be market-oriented, because the main task of vocational and technical schools is to train talents for local economic construction, and the professional setting of vocational schools must reflect the service and dependence relationship with local economy. Specialty setting should be determined according to the adjustment and development needs of regional economic structure, industrial structure and technical structure, as well as the actual demand of local labor market for talents of corresponding levels and specifications. It is necessary to keep up with market changes and constantly adjust and update majors to meet the needs of adjustment and update between industries. In addition, with the deepening of economic system reform, the contradiction of narrow professional division and narrow professional scope in secondary vocational and technical schools has also emerged. Faced with this situation, secondary vocational schools conform to the trend of the times, adjust and broaden the connotation of specialty in time, and actively explore the reform of school teaching curriculum with specialty as the leading factor. In terms of training objectives, it emphasizes the training of compound, applied and practical talents; In terms of teaching content, it is more and more close to the requirements of enterprises and society for practical teaching by paying attention to thickening the foundation, broadening the professional basic knowledge, trying to use modern teaching methods and establishing a simulated environment. At the same time, in view of the long period of talent formation, while considering the actual needs and conditions, vocational schools should have a moderately advanced consciousness, grasp the pulse of scientific and technological progress through investigation and scientific analysis, find out the trend and direction of scientific and technological development, seize the opportunity according to the demand of the talent market, create conditions to increase new majors and transform relatively aging majors, and be moderately advanced in total quantity and timing arrangement to meet the needs of the next few years.
