What are the key points of the central government’s policy to recruit 90,000 teachers for special positions in 2018?

1. Key points of the policy

(1) Implementation scope. The implementation scope of the central special post plan in 2018 is the same as that in 2017, specifically: concentrated contiguous areas with special difficulties and key counties for national poverty alleviation and development in the central and western regions, key counties for provincial poverty alleviation and development, and the original "two basic" counties in the western region ( Including some regiments of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps), some ethnic minority autonomous prefectures in central provinces included in the national western development plan, as well as some border counties, ethnic minority autonomous counties and minority ethnic counties in the western region with special difficulties. The counties (cities) where special posts are planned to be set up must be counties (cities) with an overall shortage of teachers and prominent structural contradictions.

(2) Recruitment quantity. In 2018, the country plans to recruit 90,000 teachers for special posts. The recruitment quotas in each province (autonomous region, city) are shown in the "2018 Central Special Posts Plan Allocation Table for Posts in Each Province" (Annex 1).

(3) Recruitment conditions. 1. Meet the requirements for the recruitment position and have the corresponding teacher qualification certificate. 2. Bachelor degree or higher normal college diploma. 3. Aged no more than 30 years old. 4. Volunteers who have participated in the "College Student Volunteer Service to the West Plan" and have teaching experience and graduates of normal schools who have participated in internship teaching for more than half a year will be given priority under the same conditions.

(4) Financial support. The central government will continue to provide salary subsidies to teachers on special posts. The Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Finance will allocate central subsidy funds for the 2018 special post plan based on the local post establishment plans in 2018 and the number of teachers on the previous special posts. The settlement in 2019 will be based on the actual number of teachers on the job in 2018.

(5) Work focus. Effectively strengthen the recruitment of teachers in rural schools, give priority to meeting the teacher recruitment needs of county, village, primary schools and teaching points in deep poverty areas such as the three districts and three prefectures. County schools will no longer recruit new teachers for special posts; further optimize the structure of the teacher team and maintain a reasonable gender ratio , strengthen the supplement of teachers in shortage and weak subjects such as physical music, foreign languages, and information technology; tilt towards local students.
