Mr. Tao Xingzhi, known as a "great people's educator" and a "model for later generations", elaborated on the connotation of vocational education in the article "For-profit Vocational Education". He said: "The role of occupation is to make profits, so vocational education should be based on the principle of making profits.

Mr. Huang Yanpei summarized the purpose of vocational education as: "Let the unemployed have jobs and let the employed be happy." This is consistent with Mr. Tao Xingzhi's understanding of the nature of vocational education, but from a different angle.

In the past 30 years, China's modern vocational education has made great progress. From scratch, from small to large. From "crossing the river by feeling the stones" to today, it is clear that "service is the purpose, employment is the guidance, and cultivating students' comprehensive quality and professional ability is the core"; And the training mode of "work-study alternation, school-enterprise cooperation and internship".

As a modern vocational educator, only by deeply understanding and understanding the essence of vocational education. Only in this way can we correctly treat the education, methods and effects of vocational education.

A comprehensive understanding of vocational education means knowing and understanding the purpose of vocational education. That is to understand that "vocational education is employment education"-as Huang Yanpei said, "let the unemployed have jobs and make the employed happy".
