Preschool teachers sought at jobs fair
Print Edition
A winter job fair on teacher recruitment highlighted the need for preschool teachers.
The fair, involving some 500 schools from China’s Yangtze River delta region, was held at ShanghaiMart yesterday.
The baby boom brought on by China’s approval of a second-child policy explains the need for preschool teachers, while more geography teachers are required after Shanghai’s new “3+3” gaokao (college entrance exams) reform, which places equal emphasis on elective and mandatory subjects.
Jiang Ming, director of the Shanghai Educational Human Resource Exchange and Service Center, said the second child policy reform meant there aren’t enough graduates to fill kindergarten posts.
Officials from Weihai Road No. 3 Primary School said that those teaching Chinese usually also serve as the class adviser. Each class needs a Chinese teacher — which means they are also in particular demand.
For high schools, the gaokao reform, means geography teachers are required as more students choose geography as one of their elective subjects.
To attract good teachers, some suburban districts are offering housing subsidies on rents or help with buying a property.
“Jiading District has about 800 vacancies this year, the highest in history,” said Zhu Ying, who works for the district. “We provide house-buying subsidies for doctors and masters meeting standards and house-renting subsidies for the rest, usually 1,200 yuan (US$180) a month for a master and 800 yuan for a bachelor.”
