Abstract

In order to understand the development of “Chinese + Vocational Education” in Thailand,  to investigate and analyze the shortcomings and needs of “Chinese + Vocational Education” in Thailand, and to effectively promote the development of “Chinese + Vocational Education” in Thailand, the author designed the “Thai Chinese + Vocational Education” questionnaire (Chinese-Thai bilingual version) and distributed it to local teachers in Thai vocational and technical college.The survey results show that Thailand's “Chinese+Vocational Education” has characteristics such as a shortage of Chinese teachers,   low Chinese proficiency of students, a majority of “Chinese+tourism and commerce” courses, a focus on “online + offline” or pure offline teaching, bilingual versions of textbooks, low satisfaction with textbooks, and a lack of supporting teaching resources. The respondents have a high level of understanding, demand, and support for the “Chinese+Vocational Education” program in Thailand, and students have gained a lot. It is recommended that the “Chinese+Vocational Education” program in Thailand be led by the Chinese and Thai governments, and carry out cooperation projects such as award-winning student delivery, vocational teacher visits, vocational education lectures, joint training of dual degree programs between Chinese and Thai vocational schools, and joint construction of Sino Thai vocational school cooperation bases.
