There are more than four specific identities of university teachers: 1. Civil servants; 2. Professional and technical personnel; 3. Professional teachers; 4. Professional contract teachers. The overall identity is currently called the "affiliated civil servant" management identity.

Civil servant teachers are people who have been admitted to civil servants before becoming teachers, so they are transferred to universities to teach after obtaining teacher qualifications as civil servants.

Professional and technical personnel are collectively referred to as faculty members with professional titles at all levels.

Professional teachers are full-time teachers of various majors in universities, including civil servants, non-civil servants, in-service staff, non-in-service staff and contract teachers. In the future, professional teachers will tend to contract.

Professional contract teachers are a new educational force in colleges and universities. In order to reduce government power and open competition, universities will gradually implement contract management mode.

At present, the management mode of "relying on civil servants" and "contract system" coexist in colleges and universities. Gradually transition to contract system.
