Is it reasonable for this training institution to reject Xiao Zhang on the grounds of height?

Some media reporters pointed out that this training institution rejected Xiao Zhang on the grounds of height, which is a kind of height discrimination.

China's "Teacher Qualification Regulations" does not explicitly require the height of teachers. At most, only some areas have certain requirements for the minimum height of teachers-not less than 150 cm for men and 145 cm for women. Therefore, there is no legal basis for refusing to hire because of height.

In the recruitment of teachers, job seekers can be selected from the perspective of teaching needs, but there should be no gender discrimination, health discrimination and height discrimination, and no threshold conditions should be set outside the regulations.

Height is not a key factor in the career of kindergarten teachers. Employers can communicate this detail with job seekers when recruiting, such as asking her how to deal with the relationship between height and work, but this should not be used as a rejection factor.

If I were the HR of this company, I would probably refuse a job seeker of 1.85 meters like Xiao Zhang.

Why?

Because a company recruits a basic position, consider three questions:

First, can you do it?

Second, how long can you do it?

Third, is there any risk?

Xiao Zhang also said in the interview that he has been engaged in this industry for three years, not only because of low back pain, but also because of low back pain to see a doctor. It shows that Xiao Zhang's back injury is no longer an ordinary back pain after sitting in the office for a long time.

If Xiao Zhang continues to engage in children's art education, there are two possibilities:

1. Not long after work:

Xiao couldn't stand his low back pain, so he resigned and went home to recuperate, or simply quit the industry.

2. There are risks:

Xiao Zhang can't teach normally because of low back pain, so he needs to ask for sick leave every three days.

So from the perspective of personnel, I think this HR's refusal to hire Xiao Zhang is the embodiment of his career. However, this HR talk is "too direct". Maybe she was trying to persuade Xiao Zhang to reassign to her career out of kindness, but she couldn't accept it.

If you change to a more experienced HR, you may say that Xiao Zhang's painting style is not suitable, Xiao Zhang's philosophy is inconsistent with the company's educational philosophy, and there are many people interviewing, so Xiao Zhang failed to enter the second interview. In short, it will be expressed more or less implicitly.
