试论我国高等职业教育法制建设与完善

On Construction and Improvement of Legal System of Chinese Higher Vocational Education

高等职业教育是高等教育的一种新类型。我国高等职业教育近几年的快速发展,办学规模已占高等教育的半壁江山。但规范高等职业教育的法规建设显得相对滞后,至今还没有一部独立的法律,严重阻碍了高等职业教育的可持续发展。文章简要回顾了我国高等职业教育发展的四个阶段,探讨分析了高等职业教育法制的内涵及其价值,对规范高等职业教育办学的法规进行初步梳理,剖析了目前高等职业教育法制存在的问题。通过借鉴德国、美国、日本职业教育发达国家,在职业教育法律建设方面的经验,通过制定《中华人民共和国高等职业教育法》,并完善相关配套的法规体系建设,健全法律的执法机制与监督机制,为高等职业教育健康发展保驾护航。

Higher vocational education(HVE) is a new type of higher education and has developed rapidly,taking up half of the college enrollment in China.However,there has no relatively independent law to standardize and regulate HVE,which seriously impedes its sustainable development.This article explores the definition and value of HVE legislation by briefly reviewing the four stages of HVE development,summarizing laws and regulations governing HVE schools,and analyzing current problems with HVE legal system.Through referring to the experiences of legal construction in HVE in some developed countries such as Germany,the United States and Japan,and through constituting of Higher Vocational Education Act of the People's Republic of China and improving relevant laws and regulations,we can strengthen the enforcement and supervision of the law,and thus ensure the healthy development of HVE.
