Reflections on Huang Yanpei’s Education View in the New Era

Abstract

One hundred years ago, Huang Yanpei put forward important educational ideas such as “the use of hands and brains,” “the unity of doing and learning,” and “the power of both hands,” which have guided the development of vocational education in China. At present, China is in a critical period of economic transformation and technological upgrading, which results in higher requirements for vocational education. It is the mission of vocational education to cultivate excellent and skilled talents. This paper examines Huang Yanpei’s views on vocational education and puts forward six targeted recommendations. The research results of this paper can provide references for the formulation of education policies.
