1. Educational resources: Both cities have a number of high-level universities and high schools, such as Henan University, Zhongyuan Institute of Technology and Huanghe Institute of Science and Technology in Jiaozuo, while Zhengzhou, as the capital city, has more higher education resources and scientific research institutions.
2. Learning environment: Both cities have excellent educational resources and learning environment, but Zhengzhou, as a provincial capital city, has more development opportunities and resources.
On the whole, Zhengzhou may be more suitable for you if you pursue richer educational resources and broader development space. But if you prefer to be close to the natural environment or seek a quieter living environment, then Jiaozuo may be more suitable for you. Of course, the final choice still depends on personal needs and development.
