Abstract
In February 2014, Premier Li Keqiang set the agenda for a full political economy of skills arguing that to improve the quality of talent cultivation, subject specialisms should be linked to market needs, curriculum should be linked to occupational standards and teaching should be linked to industry. One strand of the new policy was focussed on deepening the integration between industry and education.
At the beginning of 2014, the UK began a partnership with the British Council (China) which was based on the relationship started in 2010 when China first participated in the WorldSkills Competition (WSC). Since 2010 China has proactively explored the space between its current practice and the standards embedded within the WSC. This chapter illustrates the strategic direction China is taking, with the support of the UK, in seeking a global platform from which to drive its mission for excellence. In addition the theoretical background to the WorldSkills International (WSI) development of standards for excellence is provided.
