The Vocational Education Law clearly stipulates that higher vocational school education shall be implemented by higher vocational schools and ordinary colleges and universities with junior college, undergraduate and above education levels. The establishment of higher vocational schools with bachelor's degree or above shall be examined and approved by the education administrative department of the State Council. This is a highlight of this revision.
The integration of general education and vocational education has been made clear at the legal level, and some supporting measures need to be further improved.
For example, the Vocational Education Law newly stipulates that those who have received education from higher vocational schools and their academic level has reached the degree standards set by the state may apply for corresponding degrees according to law. Some experts pointed out that what kind of degrees should be awarded and the standards that should be reached for awarding degrees need to be further clarified.
