Why is it becoming more and more difficult to pass the teacher preparation test now?

First, the number of applicants has increased

The current employment situation is not good, and people’s pursuit of a stable job is becoming more and more intense. As a staff establishment for public institutions, teachers are highly sought after by recent graduates of many colleges and universities. Many people want to take the teacher exam because they want a stable job.

Nowadays, colleges and universities are expanding their enrollment almost every year, resulting in an increase in the number of fresh graduates year by year. In addition to the large number of undergraduate graduates, the number of postgraduate graduates is also gradually increasing, resulting in an increase in the number of applicants for the teacher establishment.

Secondly, the state encourages non-normal college students to apply for teacher qualification certificates, and more and more non-normal college students have teacher qualification certificates. There are also many non-normal students who choose to prepare for the teacher examination after graduation, and more and more people are able to apply for the teacher establishment.

It is becoming more and more common for recent graduates to apply for the teacher establishment, and the number of applicants continues to increase. Teacher preparation is a competitive and elimination examination. The increase in the number of applicants will generally increase the competitive pressure and make the examination more difficult.

Second, the reduction of positions

Nowadays, public institutions are constantly undergoing reforms, gradually reducing or eliminating staffing, and implementing appointment-based recruitment. Primary and secondary schools in many places have now begun to implement appointment-based recruitment. Especially in cities with relatively developed economies, most of them have already tried the appointment-based teacher recruitment system, which means that the number of teacher positions will gradually decrease.

Secondly, due to the impact of the epidemic in 2020. In order to promote employment, the country liberalized recruitment in enterprises and institutions in 2020, adding many positions. The positions in many schools have been greatly supplemented. The number of establishment places in a school is limited, and the recruitment of establishment positions this year will definitely be relatively reduced.

The number of applicants is increasing, while the number of positions is relatively decreasing, which indicates that the difficulty of the exam has risen sharply. Where the editor is located, in the first half of 2019, teacher recruitment was recruiting more than 470 positions. In the first half of this year, only more than 200 positions were recruited, and the positions were reduced by half. However, there are still many applicants, so the exam becomes more difficult.

Third, the application conditions are more stringent

Nowadays, the recruitment conditions of public institutions in various places are becoming more and more stringent, and the recruitment of teachers for the establishment examination is no exception. You can carefully compare the recruitment conditions this year with those three years ago or even one or two years ago. They have improved a lot. In particular, the restrictions on age, academic qualifications, majors, and fresh graduates have been greatly strengthened.

Teacher recruitment in many places has a strong policy preference for fresh graduates. Taking Chengdu as an example, this year's teacher recruitment is basically recruiting college graduates and outstanding in-service teachers, and there are very few positions for recruiting social workers.

In other words, within two years of graduation, I have not yet been admitted to the teacher establishment.

After losing the status of a fresh graduate, it becomes more difficult to take the teacher preparation exam

Nowadays, the teacher preparation exam is getting more and more difficult. Everyone must seize the time, prepare hard for the exam, and get there as soon as possible!
