Innovative Development of Vocational Education in Guangxi under the RCEP Framework

Abstract

Within the RCEP framework, vocational education in Guangxi faces significant opportunities and challenges. This paper proposes strategies in three aspects: industry-education integration, faculty development, and internationalized teaching. To deepen industry-education integration, emphasis is placed on collaborative research and development with businesses, establishing diverse collaboration models, and refining the school-enterprise cooperation mechanism in conjunction with government and industry. Strengthening faculty development involves improving salaries, facilitating faculty exchanges with ASEAN universities, and supporting professional development to attract and retain outstanding teachers. In terms of internationalized teaching, advocating collaboration with ASEAN nations to jointly offer courses, promoting credit recognition, and addressing educational system differences and language barriers are crucial. The establishment of strict teaching quality standards and assessment mechanisms is also emphasized. Through these strategies, vocational education in Guangxi aims to better adapt to the globalization trend within RCEP, cultivate talent with enhanced international competitiveness, and actively contribute to regional economic and social development.
