Abstract: The paper presents a comprehensive comparative study on the social recognition of vocational education in China and Germany. It begins by highlighting the importance of vocational education in enhancing human capital and talent employment, and notes the global trend of governments optimizing their vocational education systems to meet societal and industrial needs. The study acknowledges the challenge of improving social recognition for vocational education, which is a critical bottleneck in its development. The study concludes by identifying key differences in the vocational education models of the two countries, including education streaming methods, social evaluation and salary treatment, enterprise participation, and teaching modes. It suggests that China can learn from Germany's experience to improve the strategic position, education model, enterprise involvement, and assessment systems of its vocational education. The document emphasizes the importance of vocational education for economic development and industrial transformation, and calls for multi-disciplinary research and policy-making to enhance its social recognition and effectiveness.
