in recent years, the phenomenon of "teacher qualification fever" has continued to heat up, and the teacher qualification examination has also received more and more attention. a relevant person in charge of the teacher affairs department of the ministry of education revealed that my country has continuously improved the teacher qualification admission system. the number of applicants for the teacher qualification examination has jumped from 229,000 in 2012 to 12.65 million in 2023, more than 50 times the number of applicants, repeatedly setting new records.
what is the “teaching qualification fever”?
the "hot application" for teacher qualifications is closely related to the "hot" teaching profession. according to the "2024 china undergraduate employment report" recently released by the mycos research institute, "primary and secondary education" is the most employed occupation for undergraduate graduates, and the proportion of undergraduate graduates in 2023 who are engaged in "primary and secondary education" positions six months later reached 9.0%. according to the "basic situation of national education" data released by the ministry of education in march, in 2023, there will be 18.9178 million full-time teachers in schools of all levels and types, an increase of 114,200 over the previous year.
why is the teacher qualification examination so popular? senior experts from huatu education analyzed that the main reasons are as follows.
the first is the standardization of teacher qualifications. in april 2022, the ministry of education and other departments jointly issued the "new era basic education teacher strengthening plan", which once again made it clear that the entrance of teachers should be strictly controlled, and the reform of the primary and secondary school teacher qualification examination and regular registration system should be fully promoted. it emphasizes that teachers must obtain the corresponding teacher qualifications and hold a teacher qualification certificate to teach.
secondly, the application conditions have been relaxed. the teacher qualification examination does not restrict majors and academic qualifications. as long as you meet the registration requirements, you can participate. this provides many graduates of non-teacher education majors with an opportunity to work in education. in recent years, the ministry of education has also introduced some policies, such as registration with residence permits and cross-provincial registration, which further expanded the scope and population of applicants.
then there is the increased attractiveness of the profession of teacher. teachers are a respected profession with stable work, generous benefits, and long winter and summer vacations. in the current employment situation, they are very competitive and attractive. especially under the influence of the two-child policy and the three-child policy, the demand for teachers in schools and kindergartens has increased significantly, providing more positions and space for many people who want to work in education.
finally, the teaching certificate has multiple functions and the difficulty of the exam is relatively low. the teaching certificate is not only a prerequisite for engaging in formal education work, but also a "stepping stone" to participate in other related exams and jobs. for example, with a teaching certificate, you can participate in civil service exams, special post teacher exams, teaching support programs, etc.; you can also find better job opportunities and salary levels in private schools, training institutions, online education and other fields. and compared with other professional qualifications or civil service exams, the difficulty of the teaching certificate exam is not high. as long as you review and prepare carefully, the pass rate is still very high.
lyu linhai, a professor at the institute of education at nanjing university, said that the "teaching qualification examination fever" reflects the gradual improvement in the status of the teaching profession. in recent years, the state has issued a series of documents to improve the status of teachers and their treatment, which have continuously improved teachers' income and social status, and the people's recognition of the teaching profession has also increased. secondly, the teaching profession is characterized by continuity and endogenous development. older teachers have richer teaching experience and can constantly improve themselves and continue to develop.
college students and working professionals can also apply
does getting a ticket to a teaching position mean that you can rest assured about your job as a teacher? is the teaching qualification examination difficult? as many places have abolished the teacher quota, is the teaching qualification certificate still necessary? senior experts from huatu education have also made detailed analyses of these questions.
the teaching qualification examination does not have any restrictions on age or major. undergraduate students can apply for the qualification certificate after their junior year, and junior college students can apply after graduation. as long as they meet the academic requirements, working people can also pass the examination to obtain a teaching certificate.
at the same time, those who have a teacher qualification certificate can also choose to engage in educational management work, such as education bureaus, school administrative departments, educational research institutions, etc., which all need people with a certain educational background and educational expertise to engage in management work. these positions are relatively stable and have relatively large development space.
although some regions have abolished the teacher establishment, this does not mean that the career prospects of teachers are not good. the abolition of the establishment is to promote the reform of the education system and improve the overall quality and vitality of the teaching staff. in fact, with the country's continued attention and investment in education, the social status and treatment of the teaching profession are gradually improving. the teaching profession has good stability and career development space. for those who are interested in engaging in education, it is still a career choice worth considering.
the teacher qualification certificate examination consists of two parts: a written test and an interview. the written test subjects include comprehensive quality, education (teaching) knowledge and ability, etc. the interview includes lesson preparation, structured interview, trial teaching, defense and other links. according to senior experts from huatu education, the passing rate of the teacher qualification certificate written test is about 30%-40%, while the passing rate of the interview is about 70%. it can be seen that the elimination rate of the teacher qualification certificate written test is relatively high, and nearly half of the candidates are not eligible for the interview, which also means that it is not easy to get the certificate in one fell swoop. therefore, for most candidates, preparation for the exam needs to be "steady and steady".
experts also made some suggestions for candidates preparing for the exam: "first, you need to fully understand the exam situation and grasp the trend of questions. the written exam for teacher qualification has maintained a general trend of stability with changes in recent years, that is, the overall test content, question types and number of questions remain unchanged, but the difficulty and flexibility of the exam have increased. second, in terms of review strategies, candidates need to fully grasp the basic knowledge of each subject, and also pay attention to exercises and drills to combine theory with practice. especially for exams such as the teacher qualification exam, which have a large proportion of subjective questions, it is particularly important to accurately grasp the answer requirements and answer methods of material analysis, teaching design, writing and other question types, and improving on these question types requires a lot of practice and effect feedback. third, you must adjust your test mentality and take the exam calmly. appropriate outdoor sports, physical exercise, or talking to family and friends are all good ways to adjust. as the exam is approaching, the majority of candidates should also arrange their work and rest time reasonably to combine work and rest."
