Distance education is only a means or way of education, not a level or type of education, so it is impossible to determine whether it will be recognized simply from this concept.

Student registration

If the distance education you receive is an online education that can register students, or a way of TV university or night university, it is recognized by the state. If you don't register students, it is only an education stage and is not recognized. This student status is in the Ministry of Education, not a university or a provincial education department.

Diploma certification

If you want to take the civil service exam, according to the policy, graduates from other forms of national education (self-study exam, adult education, online education, night university, TV university, etc.). Those who meet the qualifications required for the post can apply after obtaining the diploma. And this diploma refers to a diploma that can be certified by the Ministry of Education.

The key is student registration.

Therefore, the key to the problem is not the way of education, but whether to register as a student. Only the graduation information registered by students will be registered and certified. This requires prior consultation.
