Legal basis: measures for the implementation of free education for students in normal universities directly under the Ministry of Education.
Article 7 The agreement on free education for normal students shall be signed by the Normal University directly under the Ministry and the provincial education administrative department where the students are located, clarifying the rights and obligations of the three parties. After graduation, normal students at public expense generally return to primary and secondary schools in their native provinces to teach, and promise to engage in primary and secondary education for more than 6 years. Normal students who work in urban schools at public expense should teach in rural compulsory education schools for at least 1 year. The state encourages public-funded normal students to teach for a long time and for life.
Article 8 If normal students at public expense can't return to their native provinces to teach for special reasons, such as volunteering to teach in remote and poverty-stricken areas and ethnic minority areas in the central and western regions, they can apply for inter-provincial employment before graduation this year, and go through the inter-provincial employment procedures according to the relevant prescribed procedures after being examined and approved by the provincial education administrative departments of the school, the native provinces and the receiving provinces.
