On February 20, 2025, Mr. Jan Heinze, the dean of the Heinze Academy in Hamburg, Germany, and Ms. Chen Qiaoli, the project supervisor, visited Shaanxi Polytechnic Institute for a return visit on cooperation and exchanges. Vice President Duan Jun of the university, together with the heads of the Personnel Office, the Continuing Education College, the School of Aeronautical Engineering, and the School of International Education, received the guests and held a discussion. The two sides reached important consensus on deepening vocational education cooperation and jointly building a "dual-system" teacher training base.
At the symposium, Vice President Duan Jun extended a warm welcome to the delegation from the Heinze Academy. He reviewed the achievements of 24 teachers from our school who participated in the overseas training program for innovative teams of "Master Craftsman Teachers" of the Ministry of Education hosted by the Heinze Academy since 2023, and emphasized that this return visit is an important step for both sides to implement the next-step cooperation plan. Duan Jun stated that relying on the "dual-system" model to jointly build a teacher training base will effectively enhance the professional capabilities and international level of the college's teaching staff, providing a solid guarantee for cultivating high-quality technical and skilled talents.
Mr. Jan Heinze, the dean of the Heinze Academy, highly commended the innovative practices of SXPI in the field of vocational education. He introduced the core concepts and successful experiences of the German "dual-system" education system and expressed his hope to promote the cooperation between the two schools to a deeper level through joint teacher training, curriculum co-construction, technical exchanges, and other means. Ms. Chen Qiaoli, the project supervisor, further explained the specific implementation details of the cooperation project, covering multiple fields such as teacher training and scientific research cooperation.
During this discussion, the two sides reached an agreement on the cooperation framework. They plan to launch the construction of a "dual-system" teacher training base within this year and explore joint teaching and research projects in professional fields such as high - end equipment manufacturing and aeronautical engineering. In the future, the two schools will also continue to deepen cooperation through mutual visits, academic seminars, and other forms, jointly contributing to the high - quality development of Sino-German vocational education.
This exchange activity has injected new impetus into the internationalized running of our school, marking an important step for the school in promoting the integration of industry and education and benchmarking international standards.
