At present, there are many problems with the cooperative education model in China. Some of these are external environment, and there are also some problems in the process of cooperation, which requires common solutions among government, industry, schools and businesses. To ensure the cooperative education develops effectively,the successful experiences of foreign countries should be adopted to establish a protection mechanism and explore specific measures to ensure both school and enterprise benefit from it.
This paper firstly defines the concept of cooperative education model. Secondly, it reports on the different policies implemented in western countries, and then thirdly proposes the principles and basic framework of building cooperative education. Finally some measures are proposed to address the present problem of cooperative education model. The study substantiated the meaning of cooperative education model, and suggested that China needs to seek its own development path for cooperative education.
