What is general education? What is vocational education?
There are obvious differences between general education and vocational education in many aspects:

Training objectives: General education mainly cultivates research-oriented and exploratory and design-oriented talents, while vocational education mainly cultivates technical and management talents who have both college-level professional knowledge and advanced skills, can provide technical guidance, can transform design drawings into objects, and can conduct on-site command with design concepts or management ideas.

Training mode: general education focuses on theoretical teaching, and most practical links are to better understand theoretical knowledge. Vocational education, on the other hand, pays equal attention to theory and practice, pays attention to cultivating students' practical ability and puts skill training in an extremely important position.

Major setting and curriculum setting: The major and curriculum setting of general education is usually extensive, covering many fields, while the major and curriculum setting of vocational education is more aimed at actual needs and focuses on cultivating students' practical operation skills.

Target group: General education is mainly aimed at students who have a strong interest in scientific and cultural knowledge and love thinking, while vocational education is mainly aimed at students who like hands-on production and love specialized research.

Generally speaking, general education and vocational education are different in training objectives, training methods, specialty setting, curriculum setting and group positioning. General education pays more attention to academic research and theoretical knowledge, while vocational education pays more attention to practical skills and practical operation ability.
