What's the difference between higher vocational education and junior college?

1, admission batches are different: specialist education is mostly subject education, which is a "reduced version" of undergraduate education. College is divided into general college and higher vocational college, and the admission batch of general college is before higher vocational college.

2. The training direction is different: junior college belongs to subject education and higher vocational education belongs to higher vocational education. College pays more attention to theory, while higher vocational education pays more attention to practice, which is closer to the talent market than traditional higher vocational education.

3. The diploma is different. If you graduated from a junior college, your diploma will say that you graduated from a junior college. If you graduated from a higher vocational school, some schools may even say that you graduated from a higher vocational school. Of course, most higher vocational colleges are now unified as college graduates.

4. The development of the school is different: many higher vocational schools are merged from the original vocational schools or various secondary schools, while the specialties are relatively simple, and the merged secondary schools are basically the same.

5. Different employment: the industries of higher vocational employment are relatively wide, but the industries of junior college are relatively pure. It is precisely because of purity that junior college undoubtedly has a higher recognition in the industry. So at that time, junior college was more popular than higher vocational college. Of course, now higher vocational colleges are collectively referred to as specialties, and the development paths and achievements of each school are different.
