Exempting teachers means free normal students. Free education for normal students means that students can receive free normal education after applying for one of the six normal universities directly under the Ministry of Education: Beijing Normal University, East China Normal University, Northeast Normal University, Huazhong Normal University, Fengyunzheng Shaanxi Normal University and Southwest University.

Normal students refer to students and graduates majoring in normal education in colleges and universities. Their major belongs to pedagogy, and their future employment goal is to engage in teaching in schools or educational institutions at all levels, which is the preparation for future teachers. Under the planned economy system, the tuition, package distribution, "iron rice bowl" and cadre status of normal college students are all covered by the state.

In 2007, six normal universities under the Ministry of Education tried out free education for normal students. On August 18, the General Office of the State Council forwarded the Implementation Measures of Free Education for Normal University Students directly under the Ministry of Education to other departments, marking the upgrade of free education for normal university students in China to "free education" in the new period.

Under the planned economy system, normal college students are paid tuition, accommodation and monthly living allowance by the state, and distributed after graduation, which has the status of "iron rice bowl" and cadres. Especially for normal majors, there are more support policies than other majors, so the selection is more strict.

Students in secondary normal schools and higher normal schools are envied by their classmates and parents. In 2007, six normal universities under the Ministry of Education tried out free education for normal students. In 20 18, the Ministry of Education made a systematic and comprehensive regulation on the policy of free education for normal students in normal universities under the Ministry of Education, and adjusted the "policy of free education for normal students" to "policy of free education for normal students".

Normal college students at public expense enjoy the policy of free tuition, accommodation and subsidized living expenses, and effectively implement the teaching school and post of each graduated normal college student at public expense through two-way selection.

Nowadays, normal students are not limited to normal universities. Graduates from other non-normal universities can also become normal students if they pass the prescribed subjects and pass the examination. Normal students do not have to be teachers as their final occupation.
