There are five forms of private higher education in China: ordinary higher education; Higher vocational education; Higher education self-study examination; Higher education vocational qualification examination; Cooperate with overseas educational institutions to run schools. Private universities implement the principle of "lenient entrance and strict exit" in enrollment, so that the majority of students who failed in the college entrance examination and young people who are interested in further study in society have the opportunity to go to college, which not only solves the problems that public schools can't solve, but also reduces the burden for the country, trains a large number of practical professionals for the society and lays the foundation for the popularization of national higher education.
