Usually used in general higher education. In adult education, students are usually described as "full-time" or "amateur" because they are defined as on-the-job employees.
Article 15 of China's Higher Education Law only stipulates that "higher education takes the form of full-time and part-time education", and there is no clear definition of part-time. The definition of part-time and full-time has always been an unresolved issue in the field of higher education in China, or it has always been a specious and ambiguous issue.
Historical background:
Full-time education is a concept opposite to part-time education, which refers to the form of education in which students study full-time in schools within the learning period stipulated by the state. On-the-job education is a concept relative to full-time learning.
Full-time diploma, self-taught diploma and adult education diploma all belong to the national education series and are also recognized by the state, but the three are only different in learning methods and recognized by the state.
