Education Law Article 22 The State practices the academic certificate system. Schools and other educational institutions established or recognized with the approval of the state shall issue academic certificates or other academic certificates in accordance with the relevant provisions of the state. The Education Law clearly stipulates how to obtain the qualification to issue academic certificates: schools and other educational institutions established or recognized by the state shall issue academic certificates or other academic certificates in accordance with the relevant provisions of the state. In other words, schools must be established or recognized by the state. Schools that are not approved or recognized are not eligible to issue academic certificates.
