The Theoretical Logic, Value Mission and Breakthrough Paths for the High-quality Development of Vocational Education Empowered by New-quality Productivity

From the dimensions of the contradictory movement of productive forces and production relations, element reconstruction, system evolution, and globalization embedding, this paper deeply explores the theoretical logic of the high-quality development of vocational education empowered by new-quality productivity. Consequently, it identifies four key value missions for new quality productive forces in empowering China's vocational education: 1) constructing the training system for innovative high-skilled talents; 2) building a scientific and technological achievement transformation system; 3) advancing the upward shift of the vocational education level; 4) enhancing the international service ability of vocational education.Finally, in light of the development dilemmas faced in realizing these four value missions, this paper proposes four breakthrough paths: First, guided by the concept of serving "local economy and national strategy", taking the construction of talent cultivation system that meets the requirements of new-quality productivity as the starting point, and continuously improving the adaptability of vocational education to social needs. Second, following the logic of "a proactive government and an effective market", focusing on constructing a new-quality industry-education integration model to continuously enhance the support for vocational education. Third, leveraging the development opportunities of the "New Double High Plan" and vocational undergraduate education, centering on the construction of new-quality "Five Key Elements" to continuously increase the achievement rate of vocational education goals. Finally, adhering to the concepts of "education follows output" and "industry and education go global together, " explore new models for the internationalization of vocational education as a breakthrough to continuously boost its international recognition.
