In the stage of high-quality development, higher vocational education is an important force to promote the optimization and upgrading of China's industrial structure. This paper selects provincial panel data and uses spatial Dubin model to explore the spatial effect of fiscal expenditure on Higher Vocational Education on the upgrading of industrial structure. The results show that: first, the fiscal expenditure of higher vocational education and the upgrading of industrial structure have spatial autocorrelation, mainly manifested in the phenomenon of high agglomeration and low agglomeration; Secondly, the fiscal expenditure of higher vocational education has an inhibitory effect on the upgrading of industrial structure and a negative spatial spillover effect on the surrounding areas; Thirdly, regionally, the fiscal expenditure on Higher Vocational Education in the eastern region has no obvious impact on the upgrading of industrial structure in the region, but it will hinder the upgrading of industrial structure in the surrounding areas; Fiscal expenditure on Higher Vocational Education in the central region can neither promote the upgrading of local industrial structure nor promote the upgrading of industrial structure in neighboring regions; Increasing fiscal expenditure on Higher Vocational Education in the western region has no obvious impact on the upgrading of industrial structure in the region, and can promote the upgrading of industrial structure in the surrounding areas. Finally, some suggestions are put forward: pay attention to the investment in connotation construction and speed up the training of high-level skilled talents; Strengthen the integration of industry and education to ensure the docking of talent supply and industrial demand; Pay attention to regional differences, promote the coordinated development of higher vocational education, and help upgrade the industrial structure.
