This article evaluates, sorts and classifies regional higher vocational competitiveness of 31 provinces and cities in China with entropy weight method and gray relative analysis method and did a comparative study. The result shows that the region with the highest score of regional higher vocational competitiveness focus on the eastern provinces like Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and lower ranking regions are western regions which mainly include Qinghai and Xizang. The paper conclusion helps to put forwards the countermeasures for balanced development of regional higher vocational education in China. 1. Literature Review Education and human capital are one of the most important factors to weigh a country's comprehensive national strength. Its competitiveness is an important symbol of a country's comprehensive national strength. Early domestic research is mainly to compare the educational competitiveness of China and other countries in the world, such as Sun Jingshui(2001) [1] ; after that, some scholars turn the research object to domestic comparison and study the competitiveness of regional education at the provincial level, such as Wu Yuming(2002) [2]. Due to the rapid development of vocational education and the important function of complementary communication with ordinary education, many scholars have actively carried out relevant research in this field. Representative literature is the one which Chen Yan et al. (2009) measured from the aspects of structure, quality, benefit, scale, opportunity and investment [3]. Fang Yong (2016) compared the gap between China and Switzerland on the competitiveness of vocational education. He believes that the difference between the two countries is mainly because of whether there is a complete vocational education system and characteristic vocational education model, as well as the attention to technical skills talents [4] ; Hu Binwu et al.(2017) did an analysis on the development of secondary vocational education in 31 provinces in China, and found that although the vocational education has developed rapidly in the last decade, there are some problems in the aspects of regional equilibrium and efficiency [5]. However, in terms of the competitiveness of higher vocational education, more literature takes individual colleges as the research object, and seeks the advantages and disadvantages of the competitiveness of schools through the comparison between colleges and universities, such as Cui Kuiyong, Zhao Sasa (2012) [6] , Qiu Junping, Chai Wen (2017) [7] et al. It is rare to see literature discuss the relationship between higher vocational education and regional social development by comparing the competitiveness of higher vocational education among regions. Therefore, this paper intends to construct a multi angle and multi-level evaluation system of
