A. Different school-running subjects: All universities have corresponding adult education colleges or continuing education colleges, so adult college entrance examination and online education are generally run by institutions of higher learning, but at present some adult education is run by social forces. Strictly speaking, there is no discipline in running a school, and it depends entirely on individual self-study. Now there are short-term self-study exams, which are generally run by individuals or non-governmental organizations and universities, but they are generally under the banner of universities. Radio and TV University is run by local radio and TV universities.

B. Different enrollment targets: 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 and TV University is similar to that of adult examination.

C. Diplomas are different: Diplomas in adult education and online education are awarded by adult education colleges of various universities. Which university will be stamped when you 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; Radio and TV University is a branch of local radio and TV University. In addition, there are self-taught and adult undergraduate courses, online education and TV universities, and eligible countries can also award bachelor's degrees. However, the bachelor's degree certificate will indicate that it is a bachelor's degree in higher education self-study exam/adult higher education/TV University/online education.

D. Different examination methods and difficulties: Adult higher education has entrance examinations, and students have to pass the adult college entrance examination, but the difficulty and admission scores of the adult college entrance examination are much lower. Generally speaking, the test difficulty is only equivalent to the level of junior high school graduation, and the admission score is only about 1/3 to 1/2 of the ordinary college entrance examination. Basically, as long as you get a score of 200 or 300, you can enter the adult undergraduate course, and it is very wide. Admission to the higher education self-study exam is called "lenient entry and strict exit". Students can enter the school directly without passing the exam, but if they want to get the diploma recognized by the state, they have to pass the national unified public examination one by one. Self-study exams are all given by the state, and the exams are open to the public, so it is the most difficult. However, RTVU has no entrance examination, and the examinations after entering are all internal examinations, which is a mode of wide entry and wide exit. As long as you sign up for tuition, you can basically graduate; Online education is similar to TV University, and the exam is basically just a form. Therefore, among these forms of continuing education, self-study examination is the most difficult and the process is the most arduous, and it is easier to pass the examination, while TV university education is the easiest.

E. Different learning styles: Among the three kinds of exams, the most common learning style is exam-oriented learning style: full-time full-time study, night school, correspondence, and even the early TV university are all ways of adult education. This has great autonomy for students: if you have enough energy and financial resources, you can choose full-time study and experience real college life; If you want to charge yourself while working, you can choose Night University. If you want to go to a famous university in other places, you can also study by correspondence without leaving home. Relatively speaking, there are few ways to learn self-study exams, and they are basically amateur self-study. (Of course, there will also be self-taught remedial classes in larger cities). RTVU is also an amateur study.

F, the gold content is different: people often ask what the gold content is between these continuing education qualifications. In fact, these diplomas of continuing education are recognized by the state just like ordinary full-time education (provided that they are in institutions). However, the most difficult self-study exam has the highest gold content, almost the same as ordinary full-time, and it is highly recognized in enterprises.
