On October 16, 2026, the Steering Group Office of the National Science Planning Scheme for Education officially released the list of projects selected for the 2026 National Science Planning Scheme. The project, titled “Evidence-Based Construction and Research of a Dynamically Adaptive Vocational Training Support System for Autistic Students in County-Level Areas,” submitted by the Jinjiang Special Education School, was approved as a general national project. This is the only project for primary and secondary schools approved in the province and one of the few nationwide research projects focused on supporting vocational training for autistic individuals.
The National Science Planning Scheme for Education is the highest-level research initiative in the field of educational research and development in China. This project focuses on the practical challenges faced by autistic students in developing vocational training at the county level. It explores adaptive and dynamic support pathways through collaboration between the government, educational institutions, businesses, community organizations, and families.
This project stems from a partnership with SIMC – Swiss International Medical Center SA , initiated by the Vocational Training and Guidance Demonstration Center of the Jinjiang Specialized School in Fujian Province. This national recognition acknowledges the collaborative work of SIMC, its Swiss partner, the Le Repuis Foundation, the Jinjiang Specialized School, local authorities, and the charitable foundation supporting the project.
SIMC extends its sincere thanks to the school’s administration and teachers, the authorities, the charitable foundation, CFPS Le Repuis , and all partners in China and Switzerland who contributed to this success.
SIMC remains true to its mission: to unite Swiss, international and Chinese partners in order to offer quality vocational training and employment support to neurodivergent people, particularly autistic people, to enable more young people to realize their professional ambitions with confidence and to fully flourish.
