In the face of the shortage of skilled talents and the need for the renewal of the vocational skills of the employed, countries around the world have been actively developing vocational skills education in recent years. In the process of developing its own vocational education system, China has also continued to carry out international exchanges and cooperation in academic research, standard development, cooperative education and personnel exchanges. Among them, the UK has become one of China's important partners in this field. At the 2021 China International Education Annual Conference held in October 2021, the United Kingdom was also awarded the title of "Excellent Partner" in recognition of its outstanding cooperation with Chinese educational institutions.
Liu Jing, director of the Department of Education Skills, Creative Industries, Retail and Sports in China of the UK Department of International Trade, recently accepted an interview with our reporter and introduced the development of TVET in the UK and the cooperation between China and the UK in the field of in-service education. She said that both China and Britain understand the importance of a successful education system to create a prosperous and stable future. The UK is one of the first countries in the world to establish a vocational and technical education and training system, which has also been widely recognized internationally due to its mature qualification framework system. In recent years, China has attached great importance to the work of skilled personnel, vigorously developed vocational education, and carried forward the spirit of craftsmanship, which coincides with the United Kingdom. Vocational education has become an important area for exchanges and cooperation and mutual learning between the two countries.
