Practice and Reflections on the Coordination Mechanism of Vocational Education of Press and Publishing in Across Regions: A Case Study of the Yangtze River Delta Press and the Publishing Vocational Education Innovation Alliance

Abstract

It is important for the development of vocational education in the contemporary era that we should improve integration between education and industry, cooperation between schools and enterprises, and cooperation in vocational education across regions. This study analyzes and explicates the idea of the cross-regional, vocational education coordination mechanism. It argues that the core of creating a cross-regional vocational education alliance is “seeking common ground while reserving differences.” [1]. In combination with the Press and Publishing Vocational Education Innovation Alliance in the Yangtze River Delta, this study analyzes the significance of the establishment of the Vocational Education Alliance, as well as its operating system and mechanism. Finally, it analyzes the six paths for ensuring a coordinated development of cross-regional, vocational education, focusing on five particular dimensions: system construction, teaching and research, teacher training, safeguarding, and international exchanges.
