Full-time is an idiom, which means that students study full-time at school within the learning period stipulated by the state.

Usually used in general higher education. In adult education, students are usually described as "full-time" or "amateur" because they are defined as on-the-job employees.

Article 15 of China's Higher Education Law only stipulates that "higher education takes the form of full-time and part-time education", and there is no clear definition of part-time.

The definition of part-time and full-time has always been an unresolved issue in the field of higher education in China, or it has always been a specious and ambiguous issue.
