The Framework of World Vocational and Technical Education Standards (Beijing Agreement)
was jointly released by 45 countries on Saturday, marking the first international
vocational education standard developed under China’s leadership.

The framework was released at the closing ceremony of the World Vocational and Technical
Education Development Conference 2026 held in Tianjin.

The Beijing Agreement said the common value pursuit of vocational education includes
promoting economic prosperity and social progress, serving people’s all-round development,
broadening channels for social equity, deepening mutual learning and exchange of
vocational skills, and actively responding to future challenges.

It proposes improving the system for running vocational schools, building a lifelong
education and training system for all, developing teaching materials through industry-
education collaboration and building the teaching workforce through school-enterprise
cooperation.

The agreement calls for carrying out internships and practical training based on
actual job requirements and empowering education and teaching reform with artificial
intelligence.

The agreement covers key areas of global concern in vocational education, including
values, systems, governance, support and measures, according to the Ministry of 
Education.

China has built the world’s largest vocational education system. The country has
more than 10,000 vocational schools with over 30 million students. Vocational schools
supply more than 70 percent of China’s new frontline skilled workers annually, the
ministry said.
