Does the teacher major really worry about finding a job? Employment in these two majors may become increasingly difficult
Recently, I heard a friend in the education system talk about the employment of normal students, and think that the employment of some normal majors will become more and more difficult, especially the chemistry and politics majors. The editor feels very incomprehensible. Isn't the teacher training program all set up according to the needs of subject education? Why is there a teacher major that is difficult to find employment? You must know that the current employment rate of normal majors is the highest, which is almost a state of no worries about employment. Why are chemistry majors and political majors so hard to get jobs? Let's take a look together.
In recent years, thanks to the country's emphasis on education, the employment situation of the entire education profession is very optimistic. According to the 2020 Employment Report of Chinese College Students just released, the employment of primary and secondary education accounts for one-tenth of the employment of college students, ranking first in the employment destination industry of college students. As the whole society attaches great importance to education, the demand for high-quality teachers continues to increase. In addition, in recent years, in order to enhance the educational power at the grass-roots level, the country has continued to recruit special posts for many years, recruiting nearly 100,000 people to work as teachers every year. This is very good news for the teacher majors. Not to mention the normal major, it is a non-normal major, as long as you get a teacher qualification certificate, it is easier to find employment. The normal major is simply "the emperor's daughter does not worry about getting married". How can there be employment difficulties in the normal major?
But in reality, this isn't really a joke. The reason for the difficulty in finding employment in normal majors is mainly due to the reform of the college entrance examination. As we all know, starting from this year, the college entrance examination reform in basically all provinces has been launched. The new college entrance examination reform will cancel the liberal arts and science subjects, and implement a 3+3 examination system. Language and mathematics will be a fixed college entrance examination item, which is a must for all candidates. The remaining physics, chemistry, politics, history, geography, and biology are subject to elective examinations.
Judging from the choices of different places, the method paths are different. The three subjects of language and mathematics are fixed, but the three subjects of the remaining six subjects are not fixed, and each province has its own method. Generally speaking, the choice is still more inclined to make a proper distinction between the arts and sciences. For example, some local regulations stipulate that one subject must be selected in physics and chemistry, one subject must be selected in politics and history, and one subject in geography and biology. Therefore, each subject has a different proportion in the selection, which means that the number of teachers required is different, which is one of the factors affecting the choice of majors and employment. Of course, you may say that history and politics are on an equal footing in these subject choices, and there should be a lot to choose from. Because from what everyone has learned, there may be more people who choose politics, because they feel that politics is simpler. Physics and chemistry are the same, physics is definitely more difficult, and chemistry may be chosen more. Why is it difficult to find employment in chemistry and politics majors? Is it possible to generate excess?
In fact, this is related to another key influencing factor, that is, the situation of school admissions in the choice of majors is different. In the new college entrance examination reform, different colleges and universities will focus on different majors when recruiting students. It is really mainly based on the different characteristics of each school to make choices. As far as physical chemistry and historical politics are concerned, colleges and universities choose physics and history more, which will inevitably squeeze the living space of chemistry and politics majors. Therefore, it will inevitably lead to fewer students choosing chemistry and politics, and naturally fewer teachers are needed. Therefore, the decrease in demand for politics and chemistry is inevitable, and it is also the reason for the difficulty in finding employment in chemistry and politics. Do you think so?
