China is learning from the United Kingdom's vocational education system as it moves to improve the skills of its talent pool.

On Friday, a delegation from the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee visited City of Westminster College, a leading British vocational school, with the goal of incorporating best practices into China's education system.

"British vocational education experiences can be directly applied to help China improve the skills of its population," said Gan Yisheng, vice-chairman of the proposals committee within the CPPCC National Committee.
