Why should the United States vigorously develop vocational education?
Dear hello, the new trend of education development in Europe and America in the industrialized era is to redistribute leisure that reflects educational interests. After the international financial crisis, the United States vigorously implemented the "re-industrialization" policy and mapped it to the field of vocational education. Its development policy and reform road have undergone major adjustments and changes. From the perspective of strategic choice, the position of American vocational education in its education system is constantly improving.

During the Obama and Trump administrations, although the specific measures of the "re-industrialization" policy in the United States were different or even diametrically opposed (such as free trade issues and industrial development policies). ), its core idea is to develop and strengthen American manufacturing industry and promote and maintain its leading position in the world. In this process, vocational education plays an important role and is highly valued by the American government: on the one hand, the development of manufacturing industry, especially the development of advanced manufacturing industry, cannot be separated from high-quality technical and skilled personnel; On the other hand, high-quality technical talents who receive skills education and skills training are an important guarantee to support the development and prosperity of manufacturing industry. Generally speaking, during Obama's two terms, he initiated and promoted the comprehensive reform of vocational education in the United States.
