Abstract

This article conducts an in-depth analysis of the current development status and core issues of rural vocational education in Huai'an City under the context of the rural revitalization strategy. The study points out that talent revitalization is the key to rural revitalization, and rural vocational education bears the special mission of cultivating "agriculture, rural areas, and farmers" talents. However, rural vocational education in Huai'an City faces several prominent problems in talent cultivation, such as imbalance in supply and demand structure, outdated teaching content, weak practical innovation ability of students, homogenized professional settings, shortage of dual-qualified teachers, inadequate policy guarantees and funding investment, and backward training facilities. The underlying reasons for these problems lie in the imperfect policy system, poor departmental coordination, incomplete funding guarantee mechanism, unclear school positioning, lagging teaching reform, and the absence of school-enterprise cooperation mechanism. This study aims to identify the problems in the reform and development process of rural vocational education in Huai'an City and other similar regions, providing a reference for subsequent measures to solve these problems.
