A Study On The Coordinated Relationship Between The Higher Vocational Education And The Economic Development In Western Region

China's western region has a vast territory, but due to natural, historical and other reasons, the western region's economic and social development is lagging behind the mid and eastern region.If the western region's economy wants to make significant progress and sustained development, it must rely on high-quality human resources to support.Higher vocational education is mainly training top vocational technical personnel,which is helpful to provide manpower support for the western region's economic takeoff,to accelerate the speed of urbanization,to adjust the economic structure,to create good market environment for the economic development in western region.Economic development is also reactive to the higher vocational education,which promotes or constrains the development of the higher vocational education. Now, the situation of the higher vocational education and economic development in western region is incompatible.The scale of the higher vocational education doesn't satisfy the demand of economic development,economic level can't provide equipments and capital to the higher vocational education;the number and the majors of the talents that higher vocational education provides can't satisfy the economic demand;the higher vocational education in the western region has not connected scientific and technological achievements with productive forces.Overall,they are not interactive with each other.With the process of industrialization of developed countries and regions,vocational education already has a history of more than a century and it has extensive and very good social effects and economic effects. China's mid and eastern regions'higher vocational education development has begun to take shape,and it is more coordinated with the regional economic development.The experience of these countries and regions in the long-term exploration and practice is the profound lesson for the western region to coordinate the relationship between the higher vocational education and economic development.In view of these problems, the author makes a number of countermeasures for reference from the aspect that higher vocational education and economic development promote each other.
