Supplement:

According to the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Education, from the end of last century, full-time colleges and universities with non-normal, non-medical and non-public security majors should gradually standardize their school name suffixes as "vocational and technical college" or "vocational college", and full-time colleges and universities with normal, medical and public security majors should standardize their school name suffixes as "college". "Vocational and Technical College" or "Vocational College" is a unique suffix of higher vocational colleges and an important part of higher education in China. In response to the plan of the Ministry of Education to build a modern vocational education system, some national demonstration higher vocational colleges began to pilot undergraduate majors from 20 12 (jointly organized with undergraduate colleges). In China, higher vocational education includes undergraduate and junior college education levels.

In China, higher vocational education includes undergraduate and junior college education levels; However, in many other countries and regions, the higher vocational education system completely includes academic education at junior college, undergraduate, master's and doctoral levels. Higher vocational colleges also have three or six grades, and the status from high to low is: junior college, junior college, national demonstration vocational college, provincial key vocational college, general vocational college, private vocational college, adult branch school and secondary specialized school.

Compared with ordinary higher education that trains academic talents, higher vocational education focuses on training advanced technical applied talents. The higher vocational education in Chinese mainland is mainly at the junior college level. With the approval of the Ministry of Education in People's Republic of China (PRC) (China), some national model higher vocational colleges have started to offer four-year undergraduate education. Higher vocational education in Taiwan Province Province has now risen to the level of doctoral students. When higher vocational students graduate, they will be awarded the diploma of college (three-year system) or undergraduate (four-year system) recognized by the state and enjoy all the treatment of ordinary college graduates.
