The Impact of the General and Vocational Streaming Policy on the Development of Emerging Industries

In the current context of the rapid development of global emerging industries, the demand for technically skilled talents in emerging industries continues to expand. However, the current general and vocational streaming (GVS) policies face inadequacies in matching talents with industry needs. This paper analyzes the GVS policies in China and other countries (such as Germany and Nordic countries) based on examples and interviews to examine the application and existing issues of GVS policies in practice. The study shows that policy reforms, school-enterprise cooperation, course content updates, and enhancing students' lifelong learning abilities are key to improving talent training for emerging industries. GVS policies should keep pace with industrial development and be continuously optimized to meet the dynamic talent needs of emerging industries, thereby promoting the healthy development of the national economy.
