1, Introduction
Higher vocational education, referred to as higher vocational education. In Chinese mainland, higher vocational education includes two levels: junior college education and undergraduate education. Upon graduation, students in higher vocational colleges get college and undergraduate diplomas recognized by the state and enjoy all the treatment of graduates from ordinary colleges and universities.
According to the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Education, from the end of last century, full-time colleges and universities with non-normal, non-medical and non-public security majors should gradually standardize their school name suffixes as "vocational and technical college" or "vocational college", and full-time colleges and universities with normal, medical and public security majors should standardize their school name suffixes as "college". "Vocational and Technical College" or "Vocational College" is a unique suffix of higher vocational colleges and an important part of higher education in China.
In response to China's Ministry of Education's plan to build a modern vocational education system, some national demonstration higher vocational colleges began to pilot undergraduate majors from 20 12. Higher vocational education includes two levels of education: undergraduate and junior college. However, in many other countries and regions, the higher vocational education system completely includes academic education at junior college, undergraduate, master's and doctoral levels.

Compared with ordinary higher education that trains academic talents, higher vocational education focuses on training advanced technical applied talents. In Chinese mainland, higher vocational education is mainly at the junior college level. Approved by the Ministry of Education of People's Republic of China (PRC), some national demonstration higher vocational colleges began to implement four-year undergraduate education in autumn of 2008.
Higher vocational education in Taiwan Province Province has now risen to the level of doctoral students. When higher vocational students graduate, they get college or undergraduate diplomas recognized by the state and enjoy all the treatment of ordinary college graduates.
