Wu Yan, a member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Education

Comrade Wu Yan systematically reviewed the vocational education work in 2024, analyzed the current situation faced by vocational education, and made arrangements for the vocational education work in 2025.

Comrade Wu Yan emphasized that the current new situations such as national strategic needs, technological revolutions, industrial transformations, international situations, and population changes are forcing vocational education to further deepen reforms. In 2025, the vocational education front should focus on the theme of "implementation", thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the National Education Conference, and transform strategic goals into strategic tasks, three - year action plans, and specific measures. First, it is necessary to "establish a framework" and systematically promote the reform of the vocational education system construction, especially to promote the construction of the "one body with two wings" at the school level. Second, it is necessary to "strengthen internal strength". Around the "101 Plan" of vocational education, each school should do a good job in the "new infrastructure" of vocational education and build first - class majors, courses, teaching staff, teaching materials, and internship and training bases. Third, it is necessary to "set a benchmark" and do a good job in the new round of the "Double - High Plan" construction, shifting from the original "good foundation and good conditions" to "good service and good support". Fourth, it is necessary to "expand influence". Develop standards and orderly promote the "going - global of vocational education" to continuously expand the international influence of vocational education. Fifth, it is necessary to "ensure safety". It is necessary to effectively do a good job in the safety and stability work of vocational colleges to ensure "absolute safety".
