(1) Specialized education is the "springboard" for upgrading to undergraduate education.
The "cost performance" of undergraduate diploma is indeed much higher than that of junior college diploma, but junior college diploma also has certain advantages compared with high school diploma: people with junior college diploma can upgrade their academic qualifications by upgrading to junior college, but high school diploma can't do this.
(2) College education is the support to participate in the recruitment of kindergarten and primary school teachers.
College students who have obtained teacher qualification certificates can participate in the recruitment of kindergarten and primary school teachers in some education departments with college diplomas as long as they meet other conditions.
(3) College education is a "stepping stone" to employment.
There is still a certain gap between the core competitiveness of junior college education and that of undergraduate education. However, the minimum recruitment threshold for many employers is college education, not high school education.
Validity of diploma:
The state recognizes the academic certificates issued by ordinary institutions of higher learning, adult institutions of higher learning and private higher vocational education institutions with the qualification to hold higher vocational education approved by the state education authorities.
The lowest degree of correspondence education is junior college and the highest is undergraduate course.
Correspondence diplomas can be queried immediately on the website of the Ministry of Education (China Higher Education Student Information Network) according to the nature of the institution.
The degree obtained by correspondence is an adult general higher education degree, and those who meet the requirements of the recruiting institutions can take the postgraduate entrance examination.
Correspondence learning means that the school sends you textbooks, and you learn by self-study, TV lectures and using computers. Your communication with the teacher is through letters, emails, etc. And your homework is also handed in by mail or email. Sometimes there will be a few days of face-to-face study and examination, and you can get the corresponding certificate by passing the examination.
