Associate Professor Bai Bin and his team from BNU’s Institute of Vocational and Adult Education shared their research on the implementation of China’s “1+X” vocational certification policy, using the automotive sector as a case study. This research analyzed the unique characteristics of vocational education in China and explored challenges and strategies for its development. Additionally, Li Zitong and Li Jingyan from BNU presented a literature review titled Promoting the Continuity Between Education, Training, and Work: A Review of NSI 08, summarizing key insights on formal in-school training and informal out-of-school training from NSI 08.
The event concluded with an open discussion on the theme of “continuity between education, training, and work,” where participants exchanged ideas with the editorial team. Associate Professor Huang Yu delivered the closing remarks, emphasizing how the launch facilitated dialogue among international scholars on education, training, and work continuity. He noted its significance for advancing sustainable development at national, societal, and individual levels.
