Abstract: Adult correspondence higher education is an important part of China's national education system, which is a major education mode for mid-career adults. It has trained and brought up a large number of talents for China's economic construction and social development, and played a very active role. But with the expansion of ordinary student enrollment and the diversification of adult education, adult correspondence higher education appears to be gradually shrinking. The author made a specific analysis of the situation and problems of current correspondence education, and put forward innovative ideas and countermeasures, which may have certain practical effects.
