The overseas technical skills training base (Tunisia) project submitted by our school has been successfully included. Since the cooperation with the University of Tunis El Manar in 2021 to establish the overseas technical skills training base (Tunisia), under the leadership of the school's Party committee, Beijing Polytechnic University has taken the base construction as a starting point and aimed to cultivate skilled talents with international vision and professional competence, committing to the output of China's vocational education standards and resources.
Over the past three years, the school has made efforts to create a new model of cooperative education in the field of vocational education between China and Africa, continuously improving the quality of international student education, building a high - quality curriculum system and a high - quality teaching staff, and enhancing the school's attractiveness to international students. Through cooperation with the University of Tunis El Manar, a new institutional system has been explored and established. The "2 + 1 + 1" training model provides a reference paradigm for the cooperation in the field of vocational education between China and Africa in the post - pandemic era. By July 2024, the school had enrolled more than 250 degree - seeking international students. Most of these students have the undergraduate status of Tunisian universities, with good basic qualities and strong learning abilities. While completing their studies well, they can promote the improvement of the quality of the school's international - related curriculum construction. Over the past three years, more than 60 online and offline bilingual courses have been built, and the teaching standards of more than 20 courses have been adopted by the foreign side and recognized as credit courses. In March 2024, the first - batch of students from three majors came to China to study. The school's rigorous teaching style, rich extracurricular activities, and beautiful campus environment have been highly praised by the international students. The influence of the overseas base in Tunisia has been expanding year by year, and the number of applicants reached a new high in the 2024 overseas enrollment season.
The construction of the overseas technical skills training base (Tunisia) has enabled the school's curriculum standards and teaching standards to go global, establishing the vocational education image of Beijing Polytechnic University in the world, expanding the influence of Chinese culture in Africa, and burnishing the world - renowned business card of China's vocational education.
