At present, students from relatively high-quality schools, such as Beijing Normal University, Sanhua Normal University and East Normal University, generally teach in high schools or junior high schools. Most of the students trained in the slightly worse normal colleges are in the compulsory education stage. In addition to primary and secondary schools, students of this major can also consider working in vocational and technical schools. Of course, there are also colleges and universities that will recruit masters of this major.
The establishment of master's degree in education in China has opened up channels for primary and secondary school teachers to obtain graduate degrees. Although China has already established a teacher training system and institutions, this kind of training is often sporadic and unsystematic. 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.
