Speaking of vocational education, its obvious difference from general education lies in occupation. General education is basically cultural knowledge, which needs to be mastered at the age stage, while the groups faced by vocational education are mostly adults who have entered the society and participated in the work. Vocational education is a very broad concept, including many vocational categories, and it has become more and more specialized in recent years.

Vocational education is actually what everyone needs. No matter what job or post you are engaged in, it is possible to find the contents related to vocational education corresponding to your own work, such as medical work, which requires the qualification certificate of medical practitioner and Yamatonokusushi qualification certificate.

Education requires a teacher's qualification certificate, being a tour guide requires a tour guide's qualification certificate, and chefs also need relevant qualification certificates. Engaged in financial securities work also needs securities qualification certificate and so on.

Now vocational education and general education are equivalent to the two legs of national education. At present, China is vigorously developing vocational education. General education tends to accumulate cultural knowledge, while vocational education focuses on the cultivation of skills and technology, so it is not shameful to attend vocational education. In Germany, there are more students in vocational education than in general education.
