Generally speaking, the level of the Ministry of Education is equivalent to the provincial administrative unit, so the level of the committees below it should also be equivalent to the subordinate departments of the provincial administrative unit. However, it should be noted that this is only a general hierarchical correspondence, and the specific situation needs to be judged according to the position and role of the Committee within the Ministry of Education.

In addition, prefecture-level and provincial level are both important levels in China's administrative institutions. The specific difference is that the former refers to administrative units below the provincial level, while the latter refers to central and provincial administrative units.
