The difference between higher vocational colleges and junior colleges
First, the expression content is different
College is from the academic level, and higher vocational education is from the educational form, so there is no contradiction between them. From the academic level, China's higher education is divided into three levels: junior college, undergraduate and postgraduate. According to the type of education, academic education at the junior college level can be divided into higher vocational education and higher vocational education.

Compared with higher vocational colleges, it is more likely to be promoted to undergraduate colleges in the future. However, higher vocational colleges pay attention to the cultivation of technology and practice, and the probability of upgrading to cost college in the future is very low.
Third, the form is different.
There are two main ways to realize junior college education, namely junior college and higher vocational and technical college. They only pay attention to differences, and there is no essential difference. The former focuses on ability, while the latter focuses on technology.
Fourth, the emphasis is different.
Junior college belongs to academic education and pays attention to theoretical training; Higher vocational colleges pay attention to the cultivation of skills and students' practical ability. According to the results of market survey, vocational high school students are more popular with employers at present.
