Xinlei Zhang

Abstract

China's secondary vocational education specialty catalog has undergone multiple revisions, evolving from the planned economy
framework established by the first catalog in 1963 to achieving full integration with higher vocational and undergraduate education by 2021.
Its development consistently aligns with national strategies and industrial demands, progressively strengthening industry-education integration and digital transformation. Future efforts should focus on establishing a multi-stakeholder governance mechanism, deepening industryeducation collaboration, and improving quality monitoring systems to enhance specialty adaptability and talent cultivation quality.
