Abstract

Singapore vocational education has made outstanding contributions to the economic and social development in Singapore. Such vocational education advocates the educational ideas of "student-centered teaching", "value orientation", "less teaching and more learning" and "teaching factory". Furthermore, it has trained countless excellent applied talents for economic and social development in Singapore based on the educational version of "Meditation for schools and citizens". Therefore, local colleges and universities in China should actively learn from the successful experience of Singapore vocational education reform during the transformational development. Then, the educational ideas will serve the local economic and social development better, thus with better cooperation with school-enterprises. Besides, more applied talents will be trained with strong employment and pioneering ability.
