Abstract: The dynamics of combination involving production and education depends on the degree to which the production and education control external relations. Production and education in China has experienced three stages from unity to separation to cooperation. The related policies also have experienced from planning to market to planning, and from centralization to decentralization to centralization. This phenomenon is stemmed from the influence by macro institutional environment, actors’ cognitive style and historical accumulation. The policy system of combination can be constructed from three aspects: to change the way of cognition and form the consensus on “middle zone”; to change policy paradigm and carry out institutional innovation from “supply side”; to construct the modern vocational education management system and urge the consciousness of the production and education self-integrated.
