There is no such thing. See what the eighth chapter of the Outline of the National Medium-and Long-Term Education Reform and Development Plan (20 10-2020) says about continuing education. Not cancellation, but development.

(twenty-three) to accelerate the development of continuing education. Continuing education is an educational activity for all members of society after school education, especially adult education, and it is an important part of lifelong learning system. Renew the concept of continuing education, increase investment, focus on strengthening the capacity building of human resources, vigorously develop non-academic continuing education, and steadily develop academic continuing education. Attach importance to education for the aged. Advocate reading for all. We will extensively carry out community education in urban and rural areas, speed up the construction of various learning organizations, and basically form a learning society with all-people learning and lifelong learning.

(twenty-four) to establish and improve the system and mechanism of continuing education. The government has set up an inter-departmental coordinating body for continuing education to coordinate and guide the development of continuing education. Incorporate continuing education into the overall development plan of regions and industries. The competent department or association of the industry is responsible for formulating the planning and organizing the implementation measures for continuing education in the industry. Accelerate the legal system construction of continuing education. Improve the incentive mechanism of continuing education, and promote the connection between continuing education and personnel management systems such as post assessment, post appointment (employment), post (professional title) evaluation and employment, and professional registration. Encourage individuals to receive continuing education in various forms and support employers to provide conditions for employees to receive continuing education. Strengthen the supervision and evaluation of continuing education.

(twenty-five) to build a flexible and open lifelong education system. Develop and standardize education and training services and expand continuing education resources as a whole. Encourage schools, research institutes, enterprises and other relevant organizations to carry out continuing education. Strengthen the construction of urban and rural community education institutions and networks, and develop community education resources. Vigorously develop modern distance education, build a long-distance open continuing education and public service platform based on satellite, TV and Internet, and provide convenient, flexible and personalized learning conditions for learners.

Build an "overpass" for lifelong learning. Promote the vertical connection and horizontal communication of all levels and types of education, provide a variety of choice opportunities, and meet the diverse learning and development needs of individuals. Improve the learning system of lenient entry and strict exit, run the open university well, and reform and improve the self-study examination system of higher education. Establish a system of accumulation and conversion of continuing education credits to realize mutual recognition and convergence of different types of learning achievements.
