General colleges and universities refer to a type of academic education institution, while general higher education refers to the category and level of education. In general higher education, some students recruited according to the general higher education enrollment plan are trained in adult colleges and universities. The nature of these students is the same as that of students recruited by ordinary colleges and universities. Their academic qualifications, employment methods, and benefits after graduation are also the same. The difference between the diplomas is that there is no word "general higher education" on the certificate, but "general higher education" instead, and the content of the certificate is marked as "ordinary class". Adult colleges and universities that provide general higher education are mainly "XX Staff University", "XX Management Cadre College", "XX Education College", "XX Radio and Television University", etc.
