But Liu Hongjie felt that he was not satisfied. He asked, "What policies are most needed?" Liu Hongjie believes that governments at all levels attach great importance to the development of vocational education at present, but it is difficult for the education system to produce policy documents in policy formulation. Director Ge Daokai of the Ministry of Education once told reporters that in the Ministry of Education, the biggest headache is how to write policy language documents. Even at a meeting of higher vocational principals, Director Ge openly solicited "experts" to write policy documents.
"Set up a special leading group or committee," Teng Min Yue replied.
"the State Council issued regulations on school-enterprise cooperation, which mainly clarified the right to blame yourself! The organizers of higher vocational colleges must ensure that the per capita funding for running schools reaches the national average. " He, the president of Mianyang Vocational and Technical College in Sichuan, put forward his own ideas from the aspects of implementing the laws and policies of school-enterprise cooperation and the policy of subsidizing students in higher vocational colleges. He believed that "the policies of education, human society, finance and other departments on vocational education should be unified!"
"the State Council should tell vocational educators that the government believes that vocational education is related to national industrial security and will become a priority area for education development. Increase institutional innovation and build a sound industrial development system and flexible operating mechanism. " Dan Qiang, Dean of Suzhou Industrial Park Vocational and Technical College, made suggestions on the importance of vocational education to national development.
Higher vocational undergraduates expect policy support.
"What policies do higher vocational colleges need most?" Liu Hongjie threw this question again.
"It is really important to increase the pace of legalization of the average funding for higher vocational students." Cui, secretary of the Party Committee of Quzhou Vocational and Technical College, made suggestions.
"Enterprises investing in vocational education can be tax-free or have tax incentives." Fu Deyue, Party Secretary of Sichuan Vocational and Technical College of Posts and Telecommunications, made suggestions on encouraging enterprises to participate in running schools.
"It is equally important for high-quality vocational colleges to break through the level bottleneck and undergraduate transformation." Chen Yan, vice president of Vocational and Technical Education magazine, suggested.
"What kind of thinking?" Liu Hongjie asked.
"Excellent higher vocational colleges should be qualified to hold higher vocational undergraduate courses, not just transform undergraduate courses!" Su Zhigang, who was transferred from the Party Secretary of ningbo polytechnic to the Party Secretary of Ningbo Institute of Technology, is still interested in higher vocational education although he is in an undergraduate college.
"For hundreds of national demonstration higher vocational colleges, some schools will be selected in batches and selected for undergraduate education pilot." Chen Yan's query to Liu Hongjie further suggested that who is qualified to train applied undergraduate talents depends on who has the strength and should be up and down. Everything is subject to standards!
"Set standards, especially professional standards, instead of artificially deciding which school can run higher vocational undergraduate courses." Zhang Xuxiang, president of Nanjing Institute of Information Technology, seconded, "I don't think it is necessary to mention the word' undergraduate', but there can be three-,four-or even seven-year higher vocational education, supplemented by something similar to a degree certificate."
It is the "three reforms and one supplement" that has created half of the higher education in China today. Today, do we still have the wisdom and courage to let a group of outstanding higher vocational colleges run a four-year, five-year or even higher-level vocational education? How can you tell if you don't take it out for a walk? If we don't give higher vocational colleges a way out, maybe we will soon see a lot of bodies lying everywhere ... "Li Yuhong, Party Secretary of Xinjiang Agricultural Vocational and Technical College, vividly expressed the future way out and the crisis faced by higher vocational colleges.
"I think all vocational education should be oriented to the workplace and belong to vocational education in a broad sense. The * * * experience gained by the National Model Software Institute and the National Model Higher Vocational Education Project should be demonstrated to the majors of engineering, agriculture, medicine, law, business and teaching in secondary vocational schools and doctoral education, and return to the origin of the workplace. For details, please refer to my paper published in the sixth issue of Higher Engineering Education Research last year. " Cha Jianzhong, a professor at Beijing Jiaotong University, suggested.
"I'm sorry, just on the road, no timely reply. This is indeed a big policy-oriented issue, which is worth discussing. I am willing to do my best to build a good system. " It's already evening 19: 58, and the discussion is still going on. Liu Hongjie gave a reply on the way from work.
The establishment of vocational education reform system is the starting point.
"How does higher education reflect the decisive role of the market? How to follow the law of education? How to formulate and introduce policies to promote reform rather than hinder development is worth pondering! " Li Yuhong throws out opinions.
"The same is true of vocational education!" Liu Hongjie said.
"liuchu, thank you for your proposal! A vocational education conference can't solve all problems. But the most important thing is to solve it: to upgrade vocational education from a simple livelihood education strategy to a national strategy of strengthening the country and enriching the people and building the country through vocational education; Make the salary of technical and skilled talents desirable; Let enterprises and institutions be full of vitality and take participation and development of vocational education as their own career; Let vocational education become another complete education system. " Yu Xiang, founder of Vocational College and vice president of China Vocational and Technical Education Association, suggested.
"There is a difference between the current and medium-and long-term goals, but the right direction is fundamental. It takes courage and wisdom to make a decision. Please give me more advice. " I replied to Yu's suggestion and threw a question to Yu: "Dean Yu, what is your greatest wish and deepest experience in promoting reform in Shenzhen Vocational College?"
"I put forward three wishes: to revitalize the technical education in China; Reconstruct the educational map of China; Reshape the core competitiveness of China society. " Yu Wen Zhong replied.
"How to design the technical route? Where is the entry point? " Liu Hongjie continued to ask questions.
"For example, at present, efforts should be made to build an upgraded version of higher vocational education (not a denial of the past, but an upgrade), which not only cultivates professional skills, but also cultivates certain technical application and innovation capabilities (the ability to innovate and improve technology); Higher vocational colleges try out a variety of academic systems, and deep vocational colleges offer seven-year and four-year higher vocational education (officially approved by the Ministry of Education, but unfortunately ended); Formulate wage guidelines for technical and technical personnel at all levels, so that the educated have enviable expectations, and so on. " Yu Wen Zhong answered.
In recent years, although the media has paid attention to his remarks many times, Yu still feels addicted to face-to-face communication with officials of the Ministry of Education on WeChat, and can't wait to express his thoughts.
"Can you consider designing the technical route of vocational education reform around social needs and students' needs, and put the starting point on system construction? I think the government should have the courage and courage to break through the "three reforms and one supplement". "Wang Dongping, secretary of the Party Committee of Sichuan Communications Vocational and Technical College, said after reflection," No matter what kind or type, no matter what three, four, five or seven years, we should respect the needs of society and meet the needs of students to become talents. "
Senior managers of vocational education take the road of reform.
"What are the difficulties encountered in the four-year system of Shenzhen Vocational College?" Liu Hongjie continued to ask questions.
"In those days, the minister was very enterprising and officially issued a document for us to pilot. Unfortunately, a leader dominated a policy, and later the main leaders did not support it. " Yu revealed the reason.
"History has proved that the defects of' three changes and one supplement' are wrong. Looking around, most of today's outstanding vocational talents come from' makeup' backgrounds. History will once again prove that the policy of allowing only "transformation" today is not very scientific. At that time, it was a bit wise for policy makers to put forward "one supplement". The market will teach' bureaucrats' who build cars behind closed doors. It is the call of the market and the necessity of history for qualified and capable higher vocational colleges to participate in cultivating more skilled talents suitable for China's industrial transformation and upgrading ... After all, the green hills cannot be covered! " Li Shiyu, president of chongqing industry polytechnic college, expressed his views in a sharp and poetic way.
"At present, while emphasizing system construction, higher vocational colleges should constantly strive for self-improvement, do their own things well and improve their own quality. There are 200 key institutions in model colleges, which have been built for seven or eight years and achieved remarkable results. But in fact, the experience of model colleges still stays at the school level or the regional level. The Ministry of Education has not yet summarized, refined and popularized it, and has not yet formed a model that can rise to the national level. There is no national vocational education model. How can we move from a big vocational education country to a strong vocational education country? Therefore, the Ministry of Education should do something, starting with summarizing and promoting the school-running model and the school-enterprise cooperation model, do a good job in the connotation construction of the school, enhance the strength of national vocational education, and improve the voice of China vocational education in the world. " Guan Ping, president of zhejiang mechanical and electrical Vocational and Technical College, added.
"Higher vocational education is not the more independent and self-contained the better. From secondary vocational education to secondary vocational education, from higher vocational education to higher vocational undergraduate education, the second-rate status of vocational education cannot be changed in the short term, because the gold content of vocational education and qualification certificates is lower than the general teaching calendar, and it is difficult to change from top to bottom. " Ms. Margaret Hsing Hui, a professor at the National School of Education Administration, suggested, "Only in this way can we reconstruct the classification of higher education, parallel the two tracks in the hierarchical structure, and open up the classification of vocational education and general education, the equivalence of diplomas and qualifications, and the selection mechanism. Vocational education cannot be simply reformed, but must be comprehensively managed. The first is the comprehensive reform of the education department, and then the overall coordination of external departments. The formulation of vocational education undergraduate itself has traces of educational general education and lacks the context and conception of vocational education. "
At 22: 22 pm, the discussion continued. Liu Hongjie said sincerely, "Thank you, headmaster and experts. We will digest your opinions carefully. We have the same idea to turn the needs of practice into practical policies. "
