Strictly speaking, basic education and scientific research and Guizhou education and teaching experimental disciplines only belong to municipal and departmental disciplines. The topics are divided into planning and scientific research, and the topics published by the national vertical departments belong to planning topics, such as the educational science planning topics in Guizhou Province, which are guided by the Office of the National Leading Group for Educational Science Planning. Pre-school teaching and research section, basic teaching and research section, vocational education teaching and research section, university teaching and research section and other topics are issued by various departments of the education department and do not belong to the national educational science planning sequence.

For the classification of local topics, please refer to the article "Differences between administrative topics of the Ministry of Education and topics of academic societies and research institutes".
