π Tender Overview
In order to thoroughly implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important exposition on education, implement the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council on the employment of college graduates, further implement the employment priority policy, and build a team of high-quality teachers, the General Office of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the General Office of the Ministry of Education recently jointly issued the "Notice on Doing a Good Job in the Open Recruitment of Primary and Secondary School and Kindergarten Teachers in 2024" to make arrangements for doing a good job in teacher recruitment and promoting the employment of college graduates.
The "Circular" proposes that it is necessary to coordinate the employment of college graduates and the recruitment of teachers, give full play to the important role of open recruitment by public institutions in promoting the employment of college graduates, and encourage and guide more college graduates to teach in primary and secondary schools and kindergartens at the grassroots level, especially in difficult and remote areas. All localities should uniformly organize open recruitment efforts at the provincial or municipal level, scientifically setting up recruitment positions in light of the demand for school degrees, adjustments to school planning and layout, differences between urban and rural areas, changes in the appropriate age population, and other such circumstances, with emphasis on ensuring the demand for teachers in disciplines in short supply, such as ethics and the rule of law, physical education and health, science, information technology, arts, labor, mental health, and special education. Strengthen the allocation of vocational education teachers, and in the recruitment of teachers in secondary vocational schools, positions with vocational skill level requirements may appropriately reduce or not set academic requirements. Support and encourage eligible veterans to teach in primary and secondary schools, and comprehensively consider factors such as the length of service to relax the age limit for veterans.
The "Circular" requires that all localities should standardize recruitment procedures and create a fair competition and employment environment. Recruitment information released to the public must not be discriminatory, directive, or unreasonably restrictive. Standardize the qualification review work, and conduct the review in strict accordance with the relevant policies and regulations and the qualifications specified in the recruitment announcement, and shall not conduct "resume screening". Strictly implement the first standard of teacher ethics and style, and take pre-employment access inquiry as a necessary link.
