The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has made overall arrangements for promoting the construction of three powerful countries: education, science and technology and talents, and raised the strategic position and task of education to an unprecedented height. At the same time, it puts forward "coordinating the collaborative innovation of vocational education, higher education and continuing education, promoting the integration of production and education, science and education, and optimizing the positioning of vocational education types", and clarifies the objectives, paths and methods of vocational education reform and development. The Vocational Education Law, which was revised and implemented last year, clearly stated that "the state should optimize the educational structure, scientifically allocate educational resources, adjust measures to local conditions at different stages after compulsory education, and promote the coordinated development of vocational education and general education". This year's government work report puts forward "vigorously developing vocational education". As an important part of national education system and human resources development, vocational education, as an educational type with the same important position as general education, insists on serving students' all-round development and economic and social development, and constantly promotes the coordinated development of vocational education and general education according to the needs of economic and social development.
