This move highlights China's intensified focus on advancing technical and vocational education to cultivate skilled professionals, as outlined in a national education blueprint released earlier this year.
The policy document calls for developing more high-level vocational undergraduate institutions with distinctive features -- along with a gradual increase in enrollment capacity.
The MOE also invited the public to provide feedback on the establishment of these institutions.
