Technical Education

In line with the Ministry of Education's policy to encourage vocational/technical education, a new form of four-year bachelor degree-granting college has emerged since 1988, intended for graduates of vocational high schools. Entrance is through the same exams which are given for entrance to the two-year junior college programs, rather than through the United College Entrance Exam. In addition, these schools admit graduates of two-year, three-year, and five-year junior colleges for completion of the two upper-division years leading to the bachelor's degree. It is not possible to tell from the transcript or even the name of the school if it is part of the vocational or academic track.
