    Abiding by the principle of scientific development, JTUT insists on maintaining development as the absolute commitment by the performance of the three strategies of “Development on Quality, Consolidation by Human Resources, Prosperity with Uniqueness”. Oriented by market demand for special talents, the University regards talents cultivation as the fundamental work and student construction as the central task. It adheres to the ideology that “the university owns its unique features, all specialties possess their distinguished particularities, and each student displays his/her own strong points” as competitive advantages so as to improve education quality profoundly. JTUT mainly centers on teacher education while actively exploring non - teacher education. Undergraduate education is its predominant education pattern while postgraduate education is going to establish. Till now, a new disciplinary system of both liberal arts and natural science concentrating on engineering and education has been established in JTUT, including   disciplines as engineering, education, natural science, liberal arts, economics, management and law. Then on the basis of “Consolidation, Deepening, Improvement and Development” and for target to improve education quality and to make profit, the University gives priority to discipline construction and attaches importance to teaching force construction to realize its fulfillment of improvement of education quality and benefit the society.

    In order to meet the demand of national vocational education and serves to social & economic development, JTUT actively probes into education theories for higher vocational teachers schools. It keeps on enforcing teaching construction, deepening education reform, innovating talent cultivation mode and perfecting teaching management system & teaching quality supervision system by means of promotion of score system, flexible credit system, module course system, classified teaching and graduate research project system etc. The “three- certificate system” (the diploma, the technology certificate, and the teacher’s certificate required for a student to graduate.) forms the harmonious unity of “academy, technology and teaching ability”. Another uniqueness of the university is to cultivate “double-skilled teachers”, who can be teachers in classroom and technicians in workshop. Because of outstanding teaching ability, advantageous professional practice skills and excellent quality in career creation & innovation, graduates of our school are warmly welcomed by employment units and “Employment Rate at One Tim” has remained more than 96% for consecutive years. As far as we are informed, many graduates have grown to be leaders & backbone forces of vocational schools and elites of different fields.
