Recently, rumors such as “teachers are fully master's degrees, and they can no longer enter the position of teacher after undergraduate studies” and “teachers need to be prepared to lose their jobs” have appeared on the Internet. After verification with the relevant departments of the Ministry of Education, none of the above statements are true. It is hereby clarified as follows: The CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued “Opinions on Promoting the Spirit of Educators and Strengthening the Construction of a Highly Qualified and Specialized Teacher Team in the New Era”, which proposes to strengthen the training of high-level teachers, focus on training undergraduate and higher level teachers for kindergartens and primary schools, and gradually implement middle school teacher training mainly at the graduate level. The misinterpretation of “key training” and “gradual implementation” as mandatory regulations for the whole and immediate implementation is typical of partial generalization. The relevant policy documents have never stipulated “full master's degree” or “no undergraduate entry into teaching positions”. Teachers and students from the six subordinate Normal Universities carry out comprehensive training through undergraduate studies. The Department's reform exploration at the Ministry's Normal University does not involve other teacher training colleges.
