A Brief Introduction to the Hainan Vocational Education Group of Foreign Languages

    The Hainan Vocational Education Group of Foreign Languages, filed with the Hainan Provincial Education Administration, officially registered by the Hainan Provincial Civil Affairs Administration, directly supervised and directed by the Haikou Municipal Education Bureau, was established in 2006 in accordance in the spirit of such documents as The State Council’s Decision to Vigorously Develop Vocational Education and The Ministry of Education’s Instructions on How to Speed up the Development of Secondary Vocational Education.

    Directly under the Hainan Vocational Education Group of Foreign Languages are 8 institutions, cultural and educational entities with 150 people on staff. The group itself consists of the departments of Project Development, Human Resources, Teaching Staff Management, Student Affairs Management, Authorized Vocational Education Certification, Teaching Affairs Management, Employment Guidance and Educational Research. The major business areas include vocational education with record of formal schooling and management, vocational education research and development, exploitation and compiling of practical teaching materials, assessment of the teaching quality of directly affiliated schools, and certification of grading of foreign language competence as well as interpreters’ qualification. The principal of any affiliated school shall conduct all activities in accordance with the articles of association as the system of principals' responsibility under the leadership of the board of directors is practiced in the education group, whose objective is to adopt the establishment of chain schools, implement collectivized management, and optimize and share educational resources.

     All the institutions of vocational education, which were put onto the list of the yearly Hainan provincial unified enrollment plan, were successively integrated and filed with both the Haikou Municipal Education Bureau and the Hainan Provincial Education Administration between December 2006 and March 2012. At present, under the standardized management and unified authentication of the Hainan Vocational Education Group of Foreign Languages are such directly affiliated schools and educational research institutions as the Hainan College of Translation Training, the Hainan Senior Foreign-oriented Vocational School, the Hainan Vocational School of Science, Technology and Economic Trade, the Hainan Vocational School of Foreign Languages and Tourism, the Hainan BWB Foreign-oriented Translation School, the Yang Shuo BWB Foreign-oriented Translation School, the Vocational Education Authentication Department of the Harvland International Institute of Business and Translation, and the Vocational Education Authentication Department of the Hainan Provincial Vocational Education and Research Institute. In order to meet the demands of the market economy, the Hainan Vocational Education Group of Foreign Languages, from 2012 onwards, is to further strengthen overall cooperation with institutions at home and abroad such as the Hong Kong Elite Education Group of Foreign Languages, the Harvland International Institute of Business and Translation, Sino-British Senior International Vocational College, the Hainan teaching spot of Jiangsi Normal University, Sanya City Vocational College of Hainan, Hainan Vocational College of Science and Technology, Hainan College of Vocation and Techniques, and the Overseas Distance Vocational Education Center. In addition, we will actively introduce and draw on the mode of authorized certification and open schools from various developed countries and regions including Hong Kong, Britain, the USA, the Republic of Korea, Canada, Singapore, and Australia. The credit system and the flexible management of education will enable students to decide on their majors, choose to study the courses most suitable for their competence and obtain the acknowledged diplomas or qualification certificates from any institutions directly affiliated with the group corporation. This will bring you an ideal high-paid job and a realization of your wonderful dreams.
