The professional degree of master of education is a professional degree with a specific educational background, which mainly cultivates high-level talents for basic education, teaching and management needs. You can also choose music as a major when you take the Master of Education in Conservatory of Music, because the winner of Master of Education should have good professional ethics, not only master the solid basic theory and systematic professional knowledge of a certain subject, but also understand the basic theory of modern education and the theories and methods of subject teaching or education management. Master of Education and Master of Arts have their own emphases. Master of arts pays attention to mastering professional knowledge, while master of education also needs to master educational methods.

In order to implement the outline of China's educational reform and development, speed up the construction of teachers and managers, improve the quality of teachers and managers, and promote the improvement of the teaching and management level of basic education in China, the professional degree of master of education is specially set up. 1In April 1996, the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council passed a resolution to establish the professional degree of Master of Education (EDM), and started the pilot enrollment in 1997.

The establishment of master's degree in education in China has opened up channels for primary and secondary school teachers to obtain graduate degrees. By offering a master's degree in education, teachers can systematically learn new knowledge, master the frontier of disciplines and receive training in educational research.

Master of Education and Master of Education are two different degrees. The former is a professional degree, which is called a professional degree in China, while the latter is an academic degree. The training objectives and methods of professional degrees are different from those of degrees. The training method of academic degree is mainly research-oriented, and the degree course only needs three or four courses. Finally, the research paper is the main achievement.

The specific conditions for applying for the Master of Education are: full-time teachers or managers of cultural basic courses in ordinary primary and secondary schools, kindergartens and other secondary schools with a bachelor's degree and more than three years' first-line teaching experience in basic education, and teaching and research personnel or managers with the qualifications of teachers in primary and secondary schools and kindergartens in the educational and scientific research departments of provinces, cities, districts and counties or the teaching system of government agencies; Those who have only a bachelor's degree in national education and have not obtained a bachelor's degree must have teaching work in middle school (or equivalent to middle school) in addition to meeting the above conditions.
