On May 1 of this year, the newly revised Vocational Education Law of the People's Republic of China officially went into effect. This marks the first major revision in 26 years, capturing significant public attention. The National Vocational Education Activity Week, held from May 8 to 14, included the extensive promotion of the new vocational education law as a key focus.

To effectively facilitate the study, publicity, and implementation of the newly revised vocational education law, a symposium on the implementation of the new vocational education law in Hubei Province was held on May 9 at Wuhan City Polytechnic. Vice Governor Xiao Juhua attended the meeting and delivered a speech. Representatives from the Provincial People's Congress, relevant provincial departments, the Provincial Chinese Vocational Education Society, Wuhan Municipal Government, vocational colleges, and enterprises participated in the symposium to listen to suggestions and discuss how to promote the high-quality development of vocational education in Hubei.

Before the meeting, Vice Governor Xiao Juhua and her team inspected and researched the state of the Intelligent Manufacturing Training Center of the School of Electromechanical Engineering at Wuhan City Polytechnic. They fully affirmed the educational and teaching work of Wuhan City Polytechnic. She emphasized the need to raise awareness and deeply understand the significance of the revisions to the vocational education law. It's important to seize the opportunities presented by the implementation of the new vocational education law to accelerate the high-quality development of vocational education in the province, accelerate the construction of a modern vocational education system, improve the diversified schooling structure, deepen industry-education integration and school-enterprise cooperation, and make every effort to enhance the quality of existing vocational schools. Additionally, there should be a further strengthening of publicity and learning to create a favorable atmosphere for the development of vocational education.

The "Intelligent Manufacturing Industry-Education Complex" and other school-enterprise cooperation achievements co-built by EMAN and Wuhan City Polytechnic were thoroughly examined by leaders at all levels during their visit to the Intelligent Manufacturing Training Center at the School of Electromechanical Engineering. The Intelligent Manufacturing Industry-Education Complex project, a collaborative effort between Wuhan City Polytechnic and EMAN, aims to cultivate highly skilled professionals in modern manufacturing to support the transformation and upgrading of the high-end equipment manufacturing industry. The complex encompasses various disciplines and educational functions, including mechanical manufacturing (CNC machining), electromechanical technology, robot control technology, systems, and network communication technology, making it a comprehensive intelligent manufacturing production line.

EMAN and Wuhan City Polytechnic began their school-enterprise cooperation in 2016. After several years of development and exploration, this collaboration, characterized by a school-enterprise cooperation and industry-education integration model, has yielded positive practical results and has become a representative example of a typical school-enterprise cooperation model.
