Abstract

The double reduction strategy in China refers to the government’s planned student burden reduction agenda while another regulation, known as “Secondary Streaming,” ensures that the number of pupils enrolled in vocational high schools and regular high schools is roughly equal, indicating that students are currently encouraged to attend vocational colleges and universities by the state. Following the implementation of these two rules, several Chinese students have turned to vocational education as a viable option. Many parents and students, on the other hand, have preconceived notions and reservations about vocational education institutions. This study reviews the history and policy evolution of vocational education in China, as well as the current issues in the field, and provides some suggestions to help these challenges be addressed appropriately in the future.
