Expert: The attraction of the teaching profession is increasing.
Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at China Education Research Institute, analyzed that the "fever" of the teaching-funded examination was firstly due to the increasing scale of college graduates in recent years, and the total scale of college graduates in 2021 reached 9.09 million. Under the employment competition, holding a certificate means an extra "outlet".
"From a macro perspective, teachers’ salaries and benefits are constantly improving, and the state has also given priority to ensuring demand in the preparation. The attractiveness of teachers’ careers in the future is increasing, which is the background of the rising popularity of teaching examinations." Zhang Xiaojing, an expert from Huatu Education Teachers Research Institute, analyzed.
Zhang Xiaojing said that in recent years, the state has raised the entry threshold for teachers, and the teacher qualification certificate has become a necessary condition for teachers inside and outside the staff. In addition, in recent years, the state has gradually required some teachers in training institutions to obtain teacher qualification certificates, which has led to the popularity of teacher qualification examinations.
Relevant experts also said that although the number of teachers applying for the exam has increased, the ratio of the number of qualified teachers to the number of on-the-job teachers is still low, and the source of teachers should be more active, so that more outstanding talents can enter the teaching industry.
The form is taken from the announcement of the qualification examination (written examination) for primary and secondary school teachers in Hebei Province in the second half of 2021.
