Free teachers generally refer to normal universities directly under the Ministry of Education, namely: Shandong Normal University, Qufu Normal University, Liaocheng University, ludong university, Linyi University, Qingdao University, Qilu Normal University, Weifang College and Taishan College.

Note: Free normal students, also known as public normal students, are divided into national public normal students and local public normal students. The former is for national enrollment, while the latter is only for candidates from all provinces (cities and autonomous regions). Normal students at public expense are all admitted in batches in advance.

State-funded normal students have at least three advantages: no tuition and accommodation fees during college, and a certain amount of subsidies every month. After graduation, the state directly assigns jobs to teachers with preparation, and the preparation is permanent. The enrollment schools are very strong, all of which are 2 1 1 universities. They have excellent teachers and a strong learning atmosphere, and are recognized as famous universities.

However, there are also some aspects that need careful consideration: the service period is relatively long, generally five or six years. After teaching for a semester, I can only study for a part-time master's degree and can't take a full-time exam. Those who don't work in primary and secondary schools according to the agreement should pay liquidated damages, and also return the tuition, accommodation and subsidy funds that were exempted during the university period.

Generally speaking, the school conditions are not very good, mostly rural or township primary and secondary schools. This means that wages are not high and living conditions are not very good.
