11. School – Enterprise Cooperation in Guangxi
Challenges
Cooperation with industry is not deep or profound enough
Industry contact mostly lost after cooperation; the contact is actually by people not by organizations
Evaluation and encouragement system for school-industry cooperation is not well established
Government, industry and school considers its own interest; there is a lack of common interest that can bring all parties closely together.
