The State Council issued a document on Jan 22 announcing 61 vocational qualifications and certifications to be removed. Meanwhile, there’s one item set up by law that the State Council will submit to the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress to amend related regulations.

The State Council asked local authorities to change management ideas and styles, strengthen the evaluation system on vocational qualifications, and set up a supervision system to create a good environment for talented people.

Related ministries should publish a catalogue of national vocational qualifications soon and adjust dynamically. No certificates or identifications can be granted if they are not listed in the catalogue.
