Abstract

As China’s cultural and economic landscapes undergo rapid transformation, the value of design and creative arts programs at the country’s universities is becoming increasingly recognised. Examining how creative arts and design courses at Chinese universities foster students’ capacity for critical thinking, innovation, cultural awareness, and multi-perspective problem-solving, this research highlights the significance of these programs. Findings from interviews with faculty and students as well as qualitative analyses of policy documents and university programs provide insight on the game-changing impact of creative education on individual development and career readiness. According to studies, teaching students about art and design not only aids the nation’s transition to a knowledge-and innovation-based economy, but also helps them hone their expressive and aesthetic abilities. Despite present challenges such as insufficient funding, traditional academic biases, and curricular constraints, the research stresses the necessity of a more inclusive and holistic approach to education that places a premium on creative disciplines. This article provides educators and lawmakers in China with proposals for improving the integration and institutionalisation of creative arts in institution of higher learning in China. Chinese educational institutions did not begin offering entrepreneurial studies programs until the new millennium. It took over 20 years for it to evolve, but now it’s at an unprecedented level. While many studies have focused on entrepreneurial programs at the undergraduate level, very few have examined entrepreneurship education at China’s higher vocational schools. In particular, research on youth entrepreneurship education and its present status and future directions has received surprisingly little attention.
