Extended data
"Higher vocational education" is a combination of the two concepts of "higher education" and "vocational education". The compound result leads to three understandings: the first one classifies it as "higher education" and thinks that higher vocational education is a specific education with strong professionalism and application in higher education; The second view is that it is only an advanced part of the category of "vocational education" and does not belong to higher education, so "higher education" and "vocational education" are regarded as two parallel and non-overlapping educational categories;
The third general understanding is that all education (no matter what series it belongs to) that trains higher-level vocational and technical talents belongs to higher vocational education. For example, senior technician education in the talent series for training skilled workers is also regarded as higher vocational education, thus equating "advanced" with "advanced".
