Research on the Path of Adaptive Transformation of Vocational Education by SOEs under the Background of High-quality Development

State-owned enterprises (SOEs) are important institutions for higher vocational education and play a significant role in promoting its high-quality development. However, SOEs face challenges such as balancing profitability with public welfare, ambiguous legal status of property rights, dual-system management drawbacks, and flawed operational mechanisms, which severely hinder the development of vocational education. In order to enhance the adaptability of SOEs in organizing higher vocational education, the following adaptation paths are proposed: firstly, coordinating interests to enhance market adaptability. Secondly, defining property rights to improve organizational legitimacy. Thirdly, adopting a diverse governance approach to unleash institutional vitality. Lastly, integrating industry and education to establish a long-term mechanism.
