According to the classification of schools, secondary specialized schools are divided into two categories: ordinary middle schools and adult middle schools. According to the Vocational Education Law and the current "three-set" scheme in the State Council, ordinary middle schools and adult middle schools are managed by the education department.

2. college is the abbreviation of College, sometimes called college, which is different from undergraduate course. The main goal of a university is to cultivate academic talents, that is, the goal of a university is to train a group of people with theoretical knowledge of the university on the basis of completing secondary education. College education is a professional education based on complete secondary education, which is shorter than undergraduate education. Like undergraduate education and postgraduate education, it is an integral part of China's higher education system.

Second, the education level is different:

Technical secondary school belongs to secondary education and is a secondary specialized school.

At present, China's university education is mainly undertaken by higher vocational colleges, and some undergraduate colleges also offer majors. College degree, only diploma, no degree certificate.

Third, the cultivation direction is different:

The training direction of technical secondary school and junior college is also different. Technical secondary schools mainly cultivate skilled and applied talents, and the curriculum is mainly practical, focusing on the cultivation of students' practical ability and professional quality. However, the junior college pays attention to the cultivation of applied and technical talents, and the curriculum is more comprehensive and systematic than that of the secondary school, paying attention to the cultivation of students' theoretical knowledge and practical ability.
