Background
 Manufacturing industry has become the leading
industry of Chinese economy, taking up 40% of the
nation’s GDP.
 The lack of qualified skilled workers has been one of
the main issues that hinder the development of
manufacturing industry.
 Due to not close ties between vocational schools and
enterprises, the training quality of skilled workers is
unable to meet the needs of economic development.
Beijing Normal University/Guangzhou Technician Institute
 Laws and operation mechanisms
have not been set up to promote and
standardize the cooperation between
vocational schools and enterprises.
 Not much engagement of industries in VET.
 The supervision departments of VET undertake
almost all the work related VET. The needs of
the enterprises cannot be reflected in curricula.
Beijing Normal University/Guangzhou Technician Institute
In order to solve the problems, ways of integrating
work and learning had been explored.
 MoE issued a paper of Views on Improving the Teaching
Quality of VET. Work-integrated learning should be regarded
as an entry point of the VET reform.
 MoL demands setting up new system of
cultivating high-skilled personnel through
cooperation between schools and
enterprises.
 A nation-wide interest in exploring how to
train up personnel through workintegrated learning.

Difficulties

Under the pressure of fulfilling
contract, enterprises are only
willing to offer apprentice
opportunities of simple
operational jobs to students.
There is not sufficient learning
value in the jobs.
Despite substantial investment
by government in setting up
training base on campus, there
is still a gap to real production
environment and to real
experience of production.

Case One
School-enterprise cooperation established with the
supplier through equipment purchase.

Case One
 With the support of government, an NC Technology upgrading
project was held by GTI. The bid winner was a large enterprise.
 According to the bidding, the enterprise was to supply NC system,
to send out technicians to instruct teachers and students to support
installation and start-up.
 Teachers were sent for training in the development and production
departments of the enterprise for one month.
 With the guidance of the enterprise, a proper venue was identified
in the school in accordance with the enterprise’s standards for
facilities upgrading.
 The team completed the transformation of NC machines.
 Referential curriculum and teaching materials were written up.

Case One
 With the cooperation an NC milling machine were produced in
2006, another 57 were manufactured in 2007 and 2008. In 2009,
the school built 5 precision NC instruments and a 5-axis
centralized instrument.
 Hundreds of students involved in program, experienced at the
beginning the technical upgrading of common milling and turning
machine, the production of precision NC turning machine, and
finally the installment and adjustment of 5-axis machining center
with advanced technology, so they achieved the targets set by
enterprises in machine operation and maintenance.
 In the meantime, teachers were granted a patent during the
process of development and research of new product.

Case One
Comment:
 The school set up contract with the enterprise by purchasing
teaching equipments, and chose a good enterprise to cooperate with
by means of bidding.
 With the main body of the production still being the enterprise, the
enterprise provided equipments, technical supports and transferred
the production site to the campus.
 Production process was imbedded into teaching process; Teachers
and students gained work process knowledge and experience.
 The actual purchase cost of GTI dropped by 25% due to the
participation in the production of the equipments.
 The enterprise got business orders, reduced input, managed to have
qualified employees-to-be, and a platform for the R&D.

Case Two
School-enterprise Cooperation Program Based on
Cooperation in Research and Development of New
Products
Beijing Normal University/Guangzhou Technician Institute
Case Two
 According to the teaching plan, intelligent control system was
needed. There was neither mature product in the market, nor can
enterprises develop and produce the systems independently.
 By sending invitation of tender, the GTI chose a small-scale but
competent enterprise as partner.
 Teachers and technicians of company worked together on designing
and developing the System.
 Students took part in very step.
 2 patents were granted and had become a formal part in curriculum.
 This system has been promoted as a matured product by the
company.

Case Two
Comment:
 Vocational school cooperated with small enterprise by doing new
product research together.
 Students learned the specialized skills and finished the production task
up to the technical standard of the enterprise.
 Students acquired comprehensive vocational competence and relevant
working experience.
 Teachers’ professional potential was developed.
 The school widened their cooperation field with the enterprise, won
technical support,
 By making use of the technology and human resources of school,
enterprise developed new product, upgraded its innovation.

Summary
School-enterprise cooperation facilitated co-production of
medium and high-tech facilities and creation of teaching
facilities and mechanism and developed relevant courses.
This offers positive evidence for achieving school-enterprise
co-operation under the present condition.
 Students improved their adaptability to the environment by taking
part in production, learned to solve working problems by
cooperating with people from different backgrounds.
 Teachers developed their professional competence by taking part
in the school-enterprise cooperation project.
 School upgraded the teaching standard by enriching the
curriculum.

Possibility of Experience Share
 By introducing production or development projects that meet
the needs of curriculum of VET, the teaching process is
directly transferred into working process. Schools build up
the capacity.
 Small and medium-size enterprises are in need of innovating
by taking advantages of the public resources, hence those
schools that are industrialized facilitated can be the right
resources.
 The cooperation can achieve win-win and serve as the
foundation of work-integrated curriculum through project
teaching.
 The examples provided useful experiences for vocational
schools across China and for those in the countries with
similar education system.
