What is the age limit for teachers?

Legal Analysis

Teacher recruitment examinations generally require an age of 35 and below. A few middle- and senior-level positions and outstanding talents are relaxed to 5 years of age. The teacher preparation examination is organized by each province, so there is no unified national age standard. Generally, the minimum age is 18 years old (at least a fresh graduate with an academic qualification), and the maximum age is 35 or 30 years old. The age will be relaxed for graduate students and doctoral students. The recruitment requirements for teachers are: holding a teacher qualification certificate corresponding to the required subject; a college degree or above; having good moral character and physical condition suitable for the position; having the nationality of the People's Republic of China and abiding by the Constitution and laws. Teachers' job responsibilities are: 1. Abide by the Constitution, laws and professional ethics, and be a role model; 2. Implement the national education policy, abide by rules and regulations, implement the school's teaching plan, fulfill the teacher's appointment, and complete education and teaching tasks; 3. Continuously improve ideological and political awareness and education and teaching professional standards.
