In July 2010, the Central Party Committee and the State Council convened the National Working Conference on Education and promulgated the “National Medium and Long-term Planning Outline for Educational Reform and Development (2010-2020)”.

The blueprint unfolds and the horn blows. Under the guidance of the central government, the implementation of the outline has been popularized. Up to May 2011, 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities had convened educational working conferences and worked out medium and long term outlines for educational reform and development.

In future 10 years, from the central government to the local ones, the vision of educational development has become well-defined around the whole country. We are pleased to find that, vocational education, an integral part of modern education system, has been placed on a more prominent position and has become a priority in the strategic plan.

For this issue, we publish and make comprehensive analysis on the vocational education part of the educational planning outlines of different regions and wish to help readers get a better understanding for the total features, differences and stages of vocational education development in China.
