Why does the current teacher recruitment require graduate students or above?

In the process of recruiting primary and secondary school teachers, many regions will open special "green channels" for graduate students to attract more highly educated people to join the teaching staff.

For example, some time ago, a high-tech zone in a city in Guangdong issued the Announcement on Recruitment of Teachers in Public Primary and Secondary Schools in 2022, recruiting 9 1 in-service teachers. Applicants must be recent graduates with master's or doctoral degrees (including some qualified previous graduates). These candidates only need to go through online interview, physical examination, inspection and other processes to go through the entry procedures, and do not need to take a written test.

Primary and secondary schools are keen to hire highly educated graduate students because many people think that "highly educated teachers must have a high level." In the real society, if a primary and secondary school teacher has a master's degree or a doctor's degree, people will sit up and take notice; If a middle school (primary school) has many teachers with graduate diplomas, people will look at this school with new eyes, and everyone will think that this school is a good school.

Many people think that "teachers with high academic qualifications have high level", which is mainly related to the "academic thinking" formed for a long time. Due to the high esteem of the whole society for academic qualifications, it seems that people with high academic qualifications can do everything well.

It is undeniable that highly educated teachers have advantages in many aspects. First of all, their theoretical foundation is more solid and professional; Secondly, their learning ability is first-class. As long as you are willing to learn, you can make great achievements in teaching and scientific research. Third, they have a higher starting point and a broader career development platform. But are teachers with high academic qualifications very tall at a certain level? This requires a big question mark.

Teaching and educating people, teaching is on the one hand, and educating people is on the other. Primary and secondary school teachers work with underage children, who have feelings and souls; They have different personalities and behaviors. Teachers with high academic qualifications may have strong teaching ability, but they may not be able to walk into the hearts of these students and make them believe in themselves.

As the saying goes, "Only by being close to the teacher can you believe in your own way". If a teacher can't win the trust of students, then no matter how strong his ability is, the teaching effect will not be too good. Therefore, it is emphasized that "teaching methods are important, and teachers' personality and conduct are more important".

In fact, many excellent front-line teachers do not have high diplomas. They were normal graduates in those years, but because they became one with students, they loved learning and constantly improved themselves, and became the teaching backbone of the unit and the "good teachers" in the eyes of students and parents.

To sum up, the higher the education level of teachers, the better, but high education level does not mean high overall level, and they are not necessarily better than teachers with low education level. We can't just be educated!

The data shows that the proportion of the population with postgraduate education in China is less than 1% of the total population. Even in Beijing, where the population quality is extremely high, the proportion of graduate students is less than 6%. It can be seen that graduate students are very scarce. Those who can be admitted to graduate school and graduate smoothly must have strong comprehensive strength. Simply put, a diploma can prove strength, but people will change. Being strong in the past does not mean being strong all your life, and being low in the past does not mean being low all your life.

The same is true for primary and secondary school teachers, whose teaching level will change with time. Teachers with high teaching level and good teaching effect will definitely decline in the future if they do not continue to study; At present, teachers with low teaching level can grow into "famous teachers" in the future as long as they keep making progress, learning theory and practicing.

People's changes may be stronger, weaker or ups and downs, which has nothing to do with academic qualifications, but with personal willpower, interest and understanding. Therefore, "highly educated" cannot be equated with "high level".

Moreover, the level of teachers covers a wide range, including not only the teaching level, but also the moral level and communication level. Education level has a weak influence on these things. Relatively speaking, the environment and individual's subjective will can play a decisive role.

In fact, a good teacher is not only a teacher with high academic qualifications, high teaching level and high truth level, but also a teacher who loves students and is "student-oriented". They regard teaching as the most important thing; They love students and regard them as their relatives; No matter what difficulties and setbacks you encounter, you can face them bravely, overcome them and overcome them; They are willing to become bosom friends with students and their parents. They don't give up any students, even at the last minute, they are trying to correct their bad behavior. ...
