Germany is one of the most famous countries in vocational education in the world, and its dual vocational education occupies an important position in the whole European region. However, China's secondary vocational and technical education is in the stage of transformation and upgrading, and we can find some enlightenment and reference from the dual vocational education in Germany. The following are three points I think: First, the dual vocational education in Germany pays attention to the combination of theory and practice. Different from the current mode of secondary vocational and technical education in China, which still pays attention to "imparting knowledge", German vocational education pays attention to the combination of theoretical study and practical operation. During school, students learn relevant theoretical knowledge and practice in enterprises and institutions to improve their professional skills and practical ability. This model can enable students to gain practical experience in real working environment and increase their employment competitiveness.

Second, dual vocational education in Germany pays attention to industry and market demand. German vocational education has a complete range of majors, covering many fields such as industry, commerce and service, and each major is closely related to market demand. This means that the professional setting of German vocational education is not decided by leaders, but by industries and markets. This can ensure the combination of education and market demand, and it is easier for graduates to find jobs after graduation.

Third, dual vocational education in Germany pays attention to enterprise participation. In the German vocational education system, enterprise participation is very important. Enterprises not only provide internship opportunities, but also undertake the responsibility of school-enterprise cooperation, education planning and education evaluation. Through the participation of enterprises, not only students can fully contact the real professional environment, but also enterprises can better grasp the market demand, so as to better train graduates who meet the market demand.

In a word, the dual vocational education in Germany is worth learning from in terms of the combination of theory and practice, the combination of industry and market demand, and the participation of enterprises. We should learn from the experience of German vocational education in the reform of secondary vocational and technical education, constantly improve China's vocational education system, improve graduates' vocational skills and practical ability, and make more positive contributions to China's economic and social development.
