Bridging The Divide: Integrating Vocational And General Education In China's Modernization Drive

Abstract

This paper explores the integration of vocational and general education in China, known as “zhi-pu rongtong” (职普融通), as a transformative strategy to reform the nation’s talent cultivation model. Drawing on policy documents, empirical studies, and pilot cases, it analyzes the system's strengths, existing barriers, and future development strategies, ultimately proposing a sustainable framework for vocational education that aligns with the demands of high-quality economic growth.
