Demand for vocational education on the rise

Xiang Yongkang was delighted to discover during a study tour of Indonesia that the country's universities have great interest in cooperating with his school, Guizhou Electrical Vocational and Technical College.

The college, which is in Guizhou province and affiliated to China Southern Power Grid, has already forged solid partnerships in Southeast Asia, including in Indonesia, Cambodia and Vietnam.

"Cooperation in vocational education between China and member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations is new, but there is great potential," said Xiang, president of the college.
