Technical secondary school, also known as secondary specialized school, is one of the academic education recognized by the state, and its educational level is between junior high school and university. Technical secondary school education is mainly for junior high school graduates, who enter through the senior high school entrance examination or self-enrollment, and implement three-year education, focusing on practical skills training and teaching certain theoretical knowledge. Secondary school students can continue their studies after graduation and enter the junior college or undergraduate stage. In addition, secondary school students can also choose direct employment and engage in professional work in related majors.
Junior college, called junior college education, is a form of higher education. The educational level is higher than that of technical secondary school, but lower than that of undergraduate course. College education is mainly for high school or technical secondary school graduates, who enter through college entrance examination or self-enrollment, and implement three-year or four-year education, focusing on imparting theoretical knowledge and focusing on cultivating practical ability. After graduation, college students can continue their studies and enter the undergraduate stage.
From the educational content, secondary education pays more attention to the cultivation of practical skills and the application of vocational technology, while higher education pays more attention to the teaching of theoretical knowledge and the improvement of comprehensive quality. Therefore, when choosing the educational form, we should choose the educational form that suits us according to our own interests, career planning and future career development direction.
With the development of social economy and the continuous improvement of education system, the boundary between secondary school and junior college is gradually blurred. Some new forms of higher education, such as applied undergraduate courses and professional masters, are also gradually emerging. These new forms of education pay more attention to the cultivation of practical ability and the application of vocational technology, which is a more comprehensive and practical form of education.
