Abstract

The digital transformation of vocational education is an important way to improve the quality of education, optimize educational resources, cultivate innovation ability, realize educational fairness, meet social needs, and reduce the costs of education. This study comparatively analyzed such transformation in the contexts of Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao. The results showed that these regions have differences in the manner by which they digitally transform vocational education. This research formulated relevant suggestions for implementation at the macro and micro levels, thus serving as reference for the digital transformation of vocational education in the Greater Bay Area.
