According to the relevant documents of the Ministry of Education, counselors belong to both college teachers and management cadres, which is the basic basis for college counselors to belong to teachers.

Many people may be biased against college counselors, who think that college counselors only carry out student work and daily management of students, and the gold content is not high. I don't even treat college counselors as teachers. In fact, this is a completely wrong view. Because, according to the spirit of relevant national documents, college counselors have been listed as an important group of teachers.

Therefore, in the legal sense, university counselors are teachers, and according to the recruitment regulations of university counselors, university counselors should not only have good ideological and political quality, but also hold the qualification certificate of university teachers, so in this sense, it also proves the view that university counselors are teachers.

The difference between a counselor and a teacher:

1, with different definitions.

College counselors refer to professionals who perform student management duties in colleges and universities. Universities, colleges, higher vocational and technical colleges and colleges are collectively called universities, that is, college counselors include university counselors, college counselors, vocational college counselors and college counselors. Teachers refer to professional workers who are responsible for educating and cultivating students' professional knowledge and dealing with others in schools at all levels.

2. Different qualifications.

College counselors are selected by colleges and universities themselves, and those who pass the selection can serve. Teachers refer to those who are qualified as teachers and have passed the teacher recruitment examination, as well as graduates from normal universities.

3. Different responsibilities.

The main duty of college counselors lies in ideological and political education for college students. The main duty of teachers is to fulfill their educational duties and complete their teaching work.
