In the view of Zheng Yali, deputy to the National People's Congress and president of Zhejiang University of Finance, this government work report once again puts forward the implementation of higher vocational enrollment expansion, which is an affirmation of talent training in higher vocational education and gives higher vocational education new responsibilities and missions. Higher vocational education needs to undertake more economic and social development tasks such as improving the quality of labor force, serving the development of industry, promoting employment and entrepreneurship, and inheriting skills.
