Appropriately increase the proportion of secondary vocational school graduates recruited by professional higher vocational colleges and the proportion of vocational college graduates recruited by undergraduate colleges. Gradually expand the proportion of people with practical experience in higher vocational colleges. Establish a credit accumulation and conversion system to promote mutual recognition and convergence of learning achievements.
