Is the teacher recruitment examination a national unified examination or a local self-study examination?

There is no uniform examination format and syllabus for teacher recruitment examinations across the country. Some provinces implement unified examinations across the province. However, in most provinces, the local district and county education bureaus summarize the recruitment situation of teachers in various schools in the local districts and counties, and then the district and county education bureaus The recruitment examination will be organized jointly with the Personnel Bureau. The provinces that will conduct unified examinations in 2021 are Anhui, Jiangxi, Fujian and Sichuan.

Individual recruitment means that recruitment power is decentralized to each district or county, and each district or county education bureau determines the examination content, examination format, etc. independently. The examination time is different, but it is generally more intensive. For 2021, Jinan City’s direct recruitment will be concentrated from January to March, and other districts and counties will be concentrated from May to July; Yantai’s peak period for intensive social recruitment announcements is from May to June.
