What is the prospect of primary education? There are many reasons for the decline in the number of primary education professionals. With the decrease of primary school students, the merger of schools and the saturation of primary school teachers, it is difficult for new teachers to enter. Although the education authorities have alleviated the employment difficulties of primary school teachers through the early retirement of old teachers and the elimination of unqualified teachers through competition, and achieved certain results, it can only be an expedient measure. After all, the old teachers are limited and the job competition is limited.

Since a few years ago, teachers' access has been liberalized to the society. As long as social workers with teacher qualification certificates pass the exam, they can enter the education system and compete for teacher positions.

Especially with the increasing difficulty of social employment, many Chinese departments, mathematics departments, English departments and even graduate students have joined the competition of primary school teachers, which undoubtedly increases the employment difficulty of undergraduate primary education students.
