What's the difference between departments? Why are some ministries called "bureaus", such as the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, and others called "divisions", such as Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China? Division is a branch under the jurisdiction of a Ministry in the State Council, and Bureau is an independent institution under the leadership of the Ministry.

For example, the Ministry of Education has a higher education department within the Ministry, which is in charge of higher education-related affairs throughout the country; At the same time, each province has xx provincial education committees, which are in charge of the province's education, including higher education, but most of the documents and orders are issued by the higher education departments. Although they are at the same level, the scope and power of management are completely different. In this way, the two together construct the management form of specific state affairs.
