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 the plan of the Ministry of Education to build a modern vocational education system, some national demonstration higher vocational colleges began to pilot undergraduate majors from 20 12 (jointly organized with undergraduate colleges). In China, higher vocational education includes undergraduate and junior college education levels.

In China, higher vocational education includes undergraduate and junior college education levels; 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.

Higher vocational colleges also have three or six grades, and the status from high to low is: junior college, junior college, national demonstration vocational college, provincial key vocational college, general vocational college, private vocational college, adult branch school and secondary specialized school.

Universities and colleges

College generally refers to university education, which is an important part of higher education in China and one of the academic levels of universities. Different from undergraduate education, junior college education is mainly undertaken by higher vocational colleges and junior colleges, and some undergraduate colleges also offer junior colleges. No degree will be awarded to a junior college, but a diploma will be awarded after graduation.

Both higher vocational colleges and junior colleges belong to the junior college level of general higher education. The former focuses on technology, while the latter focuses on theory, with different emphases and no essential difference. The training objectives of the two are unified. On the basis of completing secondary education, we will train a group of senior technicians with university knowledge and certain professional skills. Their knowledge teaching is based on sufficiency and practicality, and enrollment is combined.
