No junior high school diploma means that you don't even have a junior high school education, and you can't meet the basic requirements of secondary schools and junior colleges.
Secondary specialized schools are usually conducted after the end of nine-year compulsory education, and the level is equivalent to that of senior high schools. However, ordinary senior high schools focus on imparting basic knowledge, and take the general college entrance examination after graduation to prepare for entering universities. Secondary schools, on the other hand, pay more attention to the cultivation of professional skills. After graduation, they have generally mastered the corresponding vocational skills and can be competent for a certain occupation when they enter the society.
At present, there are public and private secondary schools, including: ordinary secondary schools, vocational secondary schools, adult secondary schools and secondary schools (equivalent to secondary education).
College refers to the level of college (higher vocational education) and is a part of university, which is different from undergraduate course. College education is mainly undertaken by higher vocational colleges and junior colleges, and some undergraduate colleges also offer junior colleges.

The development trend of vocational secondary schools;
In the era of knowledge economy and information society, the concepts of lifelong education and the establishment of a learning society have been integrated into the educational fields of various countries, widely recognized and respected, and constantly explored in practice. Secondary professional education must also be included in the lifelong education system. The lifelong education system and the educational objectives of secondary specialized schools are organically unified.
First of all, it is expressed as a process goal, which aims to train front-line workers for social and economic development and meet the most basic needs of educated people to learn skills, form professional ability and seek survival and development.
Second, according to Marx's theory of all-round development, education must enable the interests, hobbies and personalities of the educated to develop fully and freely.
Secondary vocational education should be duty-bound to provide the educated with education that pursues the perfection of human nature and the realization of life value as much as possible. It is not only necessary to cultivate students' professional ability and professional accomplishment, but more importantly, to cultivate individuals to acquire basic knowledge and competitive ability to adapt to the future society from the height of personality development.
Only by combining the two can secondary specialized schools give full play to the function of serving economic and social development, and also play an educational role in developing students' personality and realizing the true value of life, thus stimulating the vitality of running schools.
