First of all, both basic education and higher education are important components of education, but the stages and objectives of education are different. Basic education mainly focuses on cultivating students' basic quality and skills, laying a solid foundation for their further study and development, and usually covers many disciplines such as language, mathematics, science, society and art.

On the basis of basic education, higher education provides students with a broader vision and deeper understanding through higher-level study and research, and pays attention to the cultivation and improvement of professional knowledge and skills.

Secondly, basic education and higher education are not one-way, but the relationship of mutual influence and promotion. On the one hand, basic education is the foundation and premise of higher education. Only by mastering basic knowledge and skills can we better understand and master professional knowledge and skills. On the other hand, higher education is the extension and expansion of basic education. Through more in-depth study and research, in turn, we can deepen our understanding and mastery of basic knowledge and promote the improvement of basic education.

Therefore, the relationship between basic education and higher education is complementary and inseparable. Together, they form a complete education system, which provides a solid support for students' all-round development.
