Abstract

This paper focuses on the development of higher vocational education programs in the context of industry-education integration to empower rural preschool education talent supply. It first analyzes the internal logic of industry-education integration in enhancing rural preschool education talent supply and advancing vocational education programs, including policy orientation, talent cultivation demands, and industrial development. The paper then identifies existing issues in current vocational education programs regarding curriculum design, practical teaching, and faculty development. Finally, it proposes targeted solutions such as improving curriculum systems, strengthening practical teaching bases, and enhancing faculty development. These measures aim to effectively improve the quality of rural preschool education talent supply through industry-education integration, thereby promoting the healthy development of higher vocational preschool education programs.
