Adult education and self-taught examination are two completely different forms of education, each with its own merits. This paper will compare these two forms of education from many aspects to help readers better understand their characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.

Education system and examination methods

Adult education needs to pass the adult college entrance examination, with a schooling period of 2.5 years. The final exam is organized by the school, and you can graduate through the academic system. However, there is no such thing as self-taught admission. You can teach yourself completely, or you can choose to enroll in a self-taught remedial class. You can apply for graduation after completing about 14 courses in a major.

Tuition and diploma

Adult education can generally get a diploma, but it needs to pay tuition; There is no tuition fee for the self-taught examination (except for remedial classes), but it is difficult and it will take several years to complete the examination after graduation.

Factors in choosing educational forms

Which form of education to choose needs to be decided according to personal circumstances and needs. Adult education is a good choice if you want to get a diploma quickly; If you want to study freely, self-study exam is more suitable.
