First, strictly speaking, they belong to two different majors.

This difference is directly reflected in the enrollment code. The enrollment codes of normal majors and non-normal majors with the same name are different and belong to two different majors, so the admission scores are also different. For normal universities, the professional admission scores with the word "normal" are often higher.

Second, the curriculum is different.

In terms of curriculum, in addition to the basic courses of the major, teachers' major also needs to learn education-related courses such as pedagogy, educational psychology, educational technology, curriculum theory, teaching theory, new curriculum, Putonghua, etc., and will carry out teaching practice, trial lectures and curriculum design in junior and senior years. Non-normal majors have no corresponding education-related courses.

Third, the future employment gap.

This is the most crucial point, and it is also the point that many parents and friends are most concerned about. In fact, teachers who are engaged in normal education will be more professional and professional in the future. Nowadays, many primary and secondary schools require recruiting teachers' majors, which will naturally have innate advantages. Some non-normal students have taken the teacher qualification certificate, but if your major is limited, you can't take it.

In many areas, there are clear restrictions on teachers' preparation for exams. For example, recruitment requires that the university major must be a math-related major. If you are an accounting major, you may not be able to pass the qualification examination even if you have passed the primary school mathematics teacher qualification certificate. Secondly, teachers' majors, such as pedagogy and educational psychology, are of great help to test teachers' qualification certificates and engage in education in the future.
