What is the hard difference between junior college and higher vocational education？

There is no difference between higher vocational education and junior college education, but they are the same from the academic level, and they are all college diplomas recognized by the state. The main difference between junior college and higher vocational college lies in the different training direction, but there is no difference in essence.

Higher vocational education is higher vocational education and junior college is junior college. Most higher vocational schools will add "vocational and technical schools" after their names. Many schools of this type are upgraded from technical secondary schools. And junior colleges, some of which belong to some famous schools, belong to the specialized departments of these famous schools. Some are specialized colleges, such as Finance and Economics College.

From the teaching plan of higher vocational colleges, the hours of experiment, computer operation, practice and operation training account for 1/2 to 2/3 of the total hours, while those of junior colleges are obviously not so much. From the training direction, higher vocational education is production-oriented, so-called knowledge blue collar. Now, in coastal areas, a senior skilled worker’s salary level may be second only to that of department managers.

However, higher vocational education and junior college education are all three-year education. The certificates obtained are almost the same, but the seals of each school are different. At present, some higher vocational schools have been merged by some undergraduate colleges. Although you are studying in higher vocational colleges, your diploma is a junior college diploma. Therefore, there is no essential difference between junior college and higher vocational college.

Higher vocational diplomas are naturally useful. The Ministry of Education clearly stipulates that higher vocational colleges should meet the requirements of higher vocational and technical education, and in order to cultivate a group of college knowledge, higher vocational colleges are exactly the same as ordinary higher education institutions in terms of school-running objectives, talent training mode, enrollment, employment, diploma and treatment. Therefore, the graduation certificate obtained by higher vocational students is exactly the same as that of ordinary higher education in terms of gold content and effectiveness, and there is no difference. For example, the major of civil engineering may have to go to the construction site after graduation, such as technicians, builders and quality inspectors on site, but graduates of bad majors may not be able to find a job for a while after graduating from master’s degree. In addition, you can also choose to go to college for further study, and there are many other ways to develop.
