Research on the Practical Approach to the Construction of “National Pilot City of Industry-Education Integration” -A Case Study of Liuzhou in China

In recent years, the integration of industry and education has garnered significant attention as a crucial strategic direction for advancing educational reform in China. The National Development and Reform Commission, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, issued a notice on the construction of industry-education integrated enterprises and pilot cities for industry-education integration in 2021. As a result, 21 cities and 63 enterprises were designated as national pilot cities and enterprises for industry-education integration, with Liuzhou City, Guangxi Province, being selected as one of the national pilot cities. This paper takes Liuzhou City as a case study to explore the practical pathways for constructing a "National Pilot City for Industry-Education Integration" from the perspectives of government, universities, and enterprises based on the Triple Helix theoretical framework and employing a survey research method. The aim is to provide insights and references for similar cities in their explorations.
