Better vocational education will help Made in China go further

AT AN EXECUTIVE MEETING on Wednesday, the State Council, China's Cabinet, decided to increase the coverage rate and the amount of national scholarships and reimbursements for advanced vocational schools. Southern Metropolis Daily comments:

That is a positive move by the State Council as it will boost the confidence of vocational school students and encourage more people to opt for vocational education.

The domestic vocational education sector is to increase its student enrollment by 1 million in the 2019-20 school year, according to the national plan. Besides, the enrollment system will be further reformed so as to encourage more high school graduates, military veterans, laid-off workers, as well as migrant workers to apply for the schools.
