Teaching recruitment does not refer to the teacher qualification examination, but the abbreviation of teacher recruitment examination, including teacher preparation examination, special post teacher recruitment examination, contract teacher recruitment examination, private school teacher recruitment examination and substitute teacher recruitment examination.

There is no unified examination form and syllabus for teacher recruitment examination. In some provinces, the province-wide unified examination is implemented, but most provinces are still summarized by the local county education bureau according to the recruitment of teachers in local counties and schools. There is generally an age limit, and candidates who apply for primary schools are generally not over 30 years old; Teachers who apply for junior high school are not over 35 years old. Of course, for some outstanding talents with high academic qualifications, individual schools will relax the age limit.

The teacher recruitment examination can be held in every school, private school and training institution. Recruitment without filing by the Education Bureau also belongs to teacher recruitment. Only those who have been put on record by the Education Bureau or participated in the unified public examination of the provincial government are called the teacher preparation examination. Those who pass the examination are not necessarily teachers, but also "contract workers" and "substitute teachers".

The gap between the teacher qualification examination and the teacher recruitment examination is not 1: 30. The teacher recruitment examination is a selective examination, and the teacher qualification examination is a passing examination. Difficulty and competitiveness vary greatly. Teachers recruit posts, and the teacher qualification certificate tests the teacher qualification certificate.
