According to the provisions of Articles 1, 5 and 34 of the Law on the Promotion of Private Education, it can be known that the legitimate rights and interests of private schools and educatees are protected by state laws. Private schools and public schools have the same legal status. Educatees in private schools enjoy the same rights as those in similar public schools at the same level in terms of further education, employment, social preferential treatment and participation in advanced selection. Article 26 of the law also stipulates that private schools may issue academic certificates, graduation certificates or training certificates to students according to their types, study years and academic achievements. Students who have received vocational skills training and passed the appraisal by vocational skill appraisal institutions recognized by the government may be awarded national vocational qualification certificates. It can be seen that the diploma of private universities is recognized by the state.
