Vocational education(职业教育) is hoped to grow rapidly in China as the government continues to encourage high-quality development.
In a recent report, President Xi Jinping said vocational education has a “bright future and great development.” He called for speeding up the development of the vocational education system in order to train more skilled technical professionals.
China Youth Daily did a survey on April 29, 2021. They asked 1000 parents about their attitude towards vocational education.The results show that 66 percent of parents are willing to let their children receive vocational education.
At present, there are 11, 300 vocational schools across China with 30.88 million students, forming the world's largest vocational education system, according to China Daily. However, although China has millions of workers, there’s still a great need for high-level technicians such as AI technicians(人工智能技术人员), Electric businessman(电商人才) and Data analyst(数据分析师).
There have been a series of measures to improve vocational education, The Ministry of Education(教育部) plans to set up a separate entrance examination system for vocational students. Colleges and universities are also making changes to their majors(专业) to train modern skilled workers.
This year, 18 colleges and universities in Beijing are adding 46 vocational majors.Most of the new majors focus on cutting-edge(尖端的) fields.For example, the Beijing College of Finance and Commerce will have a major in AI technical services.

Three Chinese astronauts Wang Yaping, Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu gave a space lecture on Dec. 9th, 2021
“Hello, everyone! Welcome to Tiangong Class.” With this greeting, a special lecture began on Tiangong space station about 400 kilometers above Earth on Dec. 9th, 2021.
Lasting for about an hour, the space lecture was broadcast live to millions of students. Three astronauts from the Shenzhou XIII crew hosted the lecture, introducing how they live and work on the space station and doing some interesting experiments that can only be done in space.
This is the second live space lecture in China. In 2013, with the assistance of two other Shenzhou X crew members, Wang hosted the country’s first live space lecture to over 60 million schoolchildren across China.
More space to teach
Compared with the class eight years ago, this year’s space lecture is greatly different. The “classroom” is bigger. Instead of Tiangong I experimental module (实验舱), this year Wang had the space lecture in the Tianhe space core module (核心舱), which is the biggest spacecraft developed by China.
Technological development
The quality of space to ground communication is also much improved.
The space lecture eight years ago sometimes faced the challenges of the video freezing and an unclear picture, but this year’s lecture is different.
With the help of China’s Tianlian sallies, the transmission (传输) speed has been highly increased and the whole live broadcast has run smoothly. These changes show that Chinese aerospace industry has made great progress in the past eight years.
More courses
Along with the technological progress, this year’s space lecture discussed more areas in science. Eight years ago, students could watch the interesting phenomenon of weightlessness in space on TV. But this year, biology was added.
Though these space lectures showed various topics, the aim behind the lectures has never changed. The space lectures aim to “spread knowledge about manned spaceflights and light up the interests for science among young people”. The spirit of science in the youth is an important driver of the progress of mankind. The space lecture makes young Chinese people take pride in our country as they see the rapid development of our space technology.

【推荐3】Potatoes are very popular today. But in the past this was not true. Potatoes grew in South America 5,000 years ago. But they only became popular in other places 200 years ago.

Some people thought that their skins would look like the skin of the plant if they ate the potato. So they only ate the leaves. This made them sick because there is something harmful in the leaves.
In the 1800s, people started to eat potatoes. Potatoes became the main food in Ireland. Then something unlucky happened. In 1845, a disease killed all the potatoes in Ireland. Two million people died of hunger.
Today each country has its potato dish. Germans eat potato salad, and the USA has the baked potato. Of course, the French invented French fries.
