Your education is not decided once and for all: the self-study exam has no age limit or education requirement, and adult college entrance exams and the Open University can also fill the gap

In plain words
If you didn't get to finish school at 18, there are three more regular routes: the self-study exam (自考), the adult college entrance exam (成人高考) and the Open University (开放大学). The self-study exam has no age limit and doesn't look at how far you got in school, but full-time enrolled students can't register. The adult college entrance exam requires a high school or junior-college diploma first. All three routes are slow, but none of them looks at how you did at 18.
