① Higher vocational (junior college) is academic education. Senior technical school belongs to the labor system, not to the education system. The diploma can only prove that you have received formal vocational education at school, which belongs to skill education, not academic education. Therefore, the diploma can't be found in the education network, only the labor department has it, and the tuition fee is relatively low. Higher vocational colleges (referred to as higher vocational colleges or junior colleges) are the advanced stage of vocational and technical education, which belongs to the education system and is academic education. The full-time college diploma recognized by the state is electronically registered and can be directly queried on the national education network.
(2) Higher vocational colleges (specialties) are unified admission. High-tech students can study directly as long as they have a high school diploma or other equivalent diplomas, and there is no need for unified recruitment. Higher vocational colleges must pass the national unified entrance examination (general college entrance examination) in order to study.
(3) Higher vocational (junior college) employment prospects are broader. Because of mastering a skill, the comprehensive quality of senior engineering graduates has not been developed, and finally they can only work as first-line skilled workers in some enterprises for the rest of their lives. Although the skills of higher vocational graduates are not as strong as those of technical schools when they graduate, because they have mastered certain professional skills in universities and improved their comprehensive quality, they will go to management within a few years, and their treatment and job prospects are completely different. They can directly participate in the examinations organized by state enterprises and institutions, as well as the national civil service examinations.
