Technical secondary school and vocational high school belong to the same degree, that is, "technical secondary school education", but there are essential differences between them in some aspects:

1, the courses are different.

The course of technical secondary school mainly lies in professional theory, and may not pay much attention to the study of cultural courses, because technical secondary school students pay more attention to operation and have higher requirements for technical secondary school. And now many technical secondary schools are mainly based on technology. After all, some students who graduated from technical secondary schools are mainly employed directly, so they need stronger skills.

Vocational high school is a part of ordinary high school, which is completely consistent with the subjects studied in high school. On the basis of cultural courses, then study professional courses. Vocational high schools pay attention to the study and practical operation of specialized courses, and vocational high school students can also take the college entrance examination for further study after graduation.

2. Their learning goals are different.

The learning goal of secondary school is to learn a skill, get an intermediate mechanic certificate in the future, and you can take part in the work directly after graduation. However, the learning goal of vocational high schools is to enter higher schools. After studying in vocational high school for three years, you can take the college entrance examination, and then you can continue your further study in a junior college or an undergraduate course through the examination, which is very beneficial to the improvement of your academic qualifications.

3. Different forms of continuing education after graduation.

Technical secondary school graduates who want to continue their studies can pass the college entrance examination, 3+2 junior college or five-year compulsory college, while vocational high schools can pass the college entrance examination, study in counterparts, enroll students separately and take single exams. However, some technical secondary schools and vocational high schools will enroll students in the corresponding college entrance examination, but the specific situation depends on whether the local school's enrollment policy clearly indicates that secondary school students can also take the corresponding college entrance examination.
