The Ministry of Education stipulates the following: 1. The State Council's Provisional Regulations on Higher Education Self-study Examination stipulates in Chapter 5, Article 25 that candidates who meet the requirements of higher education self-study examination can obtain a diploma recognized by the state. Chapter VII, Article 25, stipulates that the salaries of graduates of higher education self-study exams are the same as those of similar graduates of ordinary colleges and universities.

2. The number of graduation certificate of higher education self-study exam can be found in China Higher Education Student Information Network (www.chsi.com.cn).

In addition:

1. Employment: Many units (especially state organs and institutions) require a bachelor's degree or above when recruiting, and many ideal job opportunities will be lost due to academic qualifications.

2. Salary: The salaries of state organs and institutions in China are basically determined according to academic qualifications. The salary of undergraduates is one grade higher than that of junior college students. The salary of a relatively standardized enterprise is also determined according to academic qualifications, and there are relatively more bonuses and promotion opportunities for undergraduates and above than for junior college students.

3. Personnel reform: Many units (especially state organs and institutions) promote cadres and campaign leaders with bachelor's degree or above. Even if you are fully qualified, you are not eligible to run. Even if they find a job below junior college, they may face the danger of being laid off and unemployed in their future work.

4. Professional title evaluation: At present, almost all professional titles are linked to academic qualifications, and there is basically no opportunity to evaluate senior professional titles below junior college. The leaders in charge of many units are almost all held by people with senior titles. Without a senior title, you will lose many opportunities to be a leader in charge, while without an undergraduate course, you will lose the opportunity to evaluate a senior title.

5. Examination of civil servants: Civil servants have stable jobs, higher wages and less pressure. However, most civil servants require a bachelor's degree or above to apply for the exam. Usually, only grassroots and hard work are left to specialists.

6. Postgraduate entrance examination: With a bachelor's degree, you can directly apply for the national unified recruitment of graduate students without a degree certificate, while junior college students can only apply for graduate students with the same academic ability two years after graduation from university.

7. Textual research: Vocational qualification certificates in many countries require bachelor degree or above. For example, the judicial examination for notaries, lawyers, judges and prosecutors requires a bachelor's degree or above.

8. Studying abroad: China's undergraduate education is recognized in many countries. With a bachelor's degree, you can go abroad to study at a higher level, which will save a lot of time and money.
