Recently, after signing a five-year cooperation plan with the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Education of Cambodia, a delegation of Dolang, accompanied by relevant department heads of the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Education of Cambodia, went to the National Polytechnic Institute of Cambodia (NPIC) to discuss further implementation of cooperation. H.E. Bun Phearin, president of the National Polytechnic of Cambodia, and Seng Sokheng, vice president, led the school team to warmly receive them. The two sides reached important consensus on topics such as the joint construction of productive learning factories and the development of skill standards.
During the negotiations, Jiang Zuodong, Dolang Company, focused on introducing the construction concept of productive learning factories based on “Dolang Creation”. As an innovative vocational education model, the productive learning factory deeply integrates the real enterprise production line with the teaching scene to build a practical teaching system of “workshop as classroom, work as product”. Dolang has accumulated rich experience in the practice and promotion of this model. In 2021, Dolang Creation (Cambodia) Productive Learning Factory was established at the National Polytechnic Institute of Angkor, Cambodia. After it was put into operation, it effectively improved the employment competitiveness of Cambodian skilled youth and injected new momentum into the upgrading of local manufacturing industry. Behind this kind of Chinese technical skills output, the multi-dimensional situation of Chinese cultural influence going global is presented.
According to the cooperation agreement signed by Dolang and the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Education of Cambodia, the development of skill standards is clearly listed as one of the core contents of the five-year cooperation plan. H.E. Bun Phearin, president of NPIC, expressed high enthusiasm and enthusiasm for this cooperation, and made it clear that the school is willing to deeply participate in the whole process of standard formulation and take the lead in pilot application after the standard is completed.
In the next step, with the implementation of “Dolang Creation-Productive Learning Factory” and the development of the first batch of 26 TVET standards, Cambodia’s vocational education system will achieve leapfrog development of “teaching model innovation-competence standard reconstruction-industrial service upgrading”, and is expected to create a replicable model for Southeast Asian countries to explore the coordinated development of industry + education, and fully demonstrate the surging vitality of Chinese technical skills to the world.
