Academic education is managed by the Education Bureau and diplomas are issued. Because secondary vocational schools train intellectuals and professionals with academic qualifications, the Ministry of Education will issue academic certificates to graduates, such as secondary school diplomas and junior college diplomas, all of which prove academic qualifications. Technical schools train technicians, also known as skilled workers and blue-collar workers. Of course, the certificates issued by the Labor Bureau are some certificates of skilled workers, such as junior, intermediate, advanced and so on. Technical schools managed by the Labor Bureau carry out vocational skills training and issue vocational grade certificates upon graduation. Vocational high schools managed by the Education Bureau are generally provincial or local universities, which belong to education and training institutions and have formal academic qualifications.
Technical school is referred to as "technical school". Technical schools, like secondary specialized schools and vocational high schools, are equivalent to high school education. Technical schools are under the supervision of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, People's Republic of China, and the enrollment level includes junior high school graduates and senior high school graduates. Technology in China belongs to secondary education, while high technology belongs to higher vocational education, which is equivalent to universities. Technical schools pay attention to the improvement of professional skills in cultivating talents, and generally cultivate practical talents. The enrollment of technical colleges is usually carried out after the end of nine-year compulsory education, which is equivalent to the level of high school, but ordinary high schools focus on the teaching of basic knowledge. Technical colleges pay more attention to the cultivation of labor skills in teaching. After graduation, they have generally mastered the corresponding labor skills and can be competent for a certain type of work after entering the society.
