First, the main body of running schools is different: all universities have corresponding adult education colleges or continuing education colleges, so the main body of running schools for adult education is generally the state, but at present some adult education schools are run by social forces. Self-taught exams are generally run by individuals or non-governmental organizations, as well as universities, but they are generally under the banner of universities. The main body of the diploma examination is an individual or a non-governmental organization.
Second, the enrollment targets are different: the enrollment targets of adult education in China are mainly on-the-job and unemployed people, people who have left formal schools, and professional and technical personnel and managers who have received higher education, from which we can see that it is a veritable adult education. But at present, it is somewhat loose, and more and more high school graduates join the adult education army. The situation of self-taught examination is similar to that of adult examination. Diploma exams are different. It is a kind of private higher education, and its main enrollment targets are students who have just graduated from technical secondary schools and want to receive higher education.
Third, the graduation certificate is different: the graduation certificate of adult examination is issued by the adult education colleges of various universities. Candidates who are admitted to adult education in which university will be stamped with the seal of which university when they graduate; There are two chapters on the graduation certificate of self-taught examination, one is the chapter of the examiner's college, and the other is the chapter of the local self-taught examination Committee. For example, in Beijing, if you study the accounting major taught by yourself, no matter which school you study in, the graduation certificate after graduation will be stamped with the seals of China Renmin University (Examiner College) and Beijing Self-taught Examination Committee, which is not necessarily related to the school where the candidates study; Strictly speaking, the diploma examination is a kind of self-taught examination. Different from the self-taught examination, its diploma is issued by the teaching point itself, rather than being jointly stamped by the examiner and the self-taught examination committee. In addition, both self-taught and adult exams have undergraduate degrees, and eligible countries can also award bachelor's degrees, while diploma exams are currently only junior colleges.
Extended information In China, undergraduate education is mainly divided into full-time undergraduate, adult undergraduate and higher education self-study exam undergraduate.
Full-time undergraduate (also known as general undergraduate) is usually an undergraduate admitted by the general college entrance examination (including independent enrollment or exemption) and the unified entrance examination. The academic system is 4-5 years, of which the actual study period of the unified examination is 2 years (3 years for a few majors).
Adult undergraduate (also known as adult undergraduate) is divided into undergraduate education, distance education, amateur education and open education through the national unified entrance examination for adult colleges and universities, and there is no unified entrance examination for the latter three.
Self-taught higher education undergraduate examination (also known as self-taught undergraduate examination) is a kind of examination method, which has a low pass rate and is difficult to obtain. There is no fixed number of years of study for self-taught undergraduate students, and the rest have different academic systems of 3-5 years. There are also various ways of learning. Students can study full-time in institutions of higher learning or social assistance units. Personal self-study is more difficult, and the former has a higher pass rate.
Adult academic education is also called "adult formal education". We will implement systematic primary education, secondary education and higher education for adults, complete all courses according to the teaching plan stipulated by the state, and grant corresponding academic certificates to those who pass the examination. Generally through classroom teaching, correspondence learning, radio and television teaching, self-study exams and other forms. In adult education, there are non-vocational general education and vocational and technical education. In the United States, public middle schools around the world are the main bases for developing adult secondary general education. Cincinnati opened its first evening school to accept adult students on 1856. There are various adult secondary education institutions in the Soviet Union, mainly evening schools. During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period alone, night schools trained 6 million qualified adult graduates.
