Abstract

In the context of building lifelong learning systems and advancing educational modernization, the collaborative and innovative development of vocational education, higher education and continuing education (collectively termed "Three Educations") has become a key solution to address critical challenges such as fragmented educational resources, misalignment between talent cultivation and industry demands, and inadequate lifelong learning pathways. However, the current mechanism for collaborative and innovative development of "Three Educations" still faces core issues including ambiguous boundaries of responsibilities among stakeholders, inefficient resource sharing, disjointed talent cultivation mechanisms, lack of evaluation and supervision systems and weak support mechanisms. To address these challenges, targeted institutional pathways can be developed from five core dimensions-namely, multi-stakeholder collaborative governance, optimized resource integration, integrated talent cultivation, diversified collaborative evaluation and supervision, and comprehensive support mechanisms.
