ABSTRACT

In 2021, China established the world's largest vocational education system. There are more than 110,000 vocational schools, with more than 1,300 majors and more than 290 million students. Despite its rapid development and remarkable achievements, vocational education is still a weak link in China's education system and has yet to gain social acceptance. There are even cognitive biases that seriously hinder the healthy development of vocational education. Although the country attaches great importance to vocational education and social development requires skilled talent, parents and students are reluctant to pursue vocational education. There is an urgent need to discuss the social acceptance of vocational education from the perspective of social psychology in order to improve its social adaptability.
