"There were no people who respected teachers in ancient times" and "There is no teacher in the world, so it is beneficial to keep the old way". Since ancient times, different social stages have paid different attention to many occupations, but the social status of teachers has always been very stable. Especially in recent years, with the further improvement of teachers' salary and social status, teachers' professional application has also shown some enthusiasm. Especially the parents of many girls think that teachers are the first choice. When it comes to choosing a normal major, some parents and candidates think of "free normal students", which is mainly attracted by the word "free". Today, I will lead you to understand what a free normal school is. 1. What are the free normal schools? According to the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Forwarding the Measures for the Implementation of Free Education for Students in Normal Universities Directly under the Ministry of Education (for Trial Implementation), Guo Ban Fa [2007] No.34, China began to try out free normal education, with the main purpose of training more outstanding teachers. Then free normal students are mainly free, that is, free of tuition, free of accommodation and free of subsidized living expenses during their studies at school. The required funds are arranged by the central finance. Of course, free normal students accept the free government of the country and also give back to the society. Among them, the most basic requirement: free normal students sign an agreement with the school and the provincial education administrative department where the students are located before entering school, and promise to engage in primary and secondary education for more than ten years after graduation. Free normal graduates who work in urban schools should first teach in rural compulsory education schools for two years. The state encourages free normal graduates to teach for a long time and for life. Free normal colleges are divided into colleges directly under the Ministry of Education and colleges established by provincial departments, and there are 6 colleges directly under the Ministry of Education (North: Beijing Normal University, Northeast Normal University; East: East China Normal University; English: Huazhong Normal University; West: Southwest University, Shaanxi Normal University). Beijing Normal University is located in Beijing, our capital. It is a famous university with normal education, educational science and basic science of arts and sciences as its main features. Beijing Normal University covers an area of 103 1 mu (Haidian Campus and Xicheng Campus), which is the main concentration of school education and teaching activities. The comprehensive strength of Beijing Normal University ranks among the top universities in China. In 2002, Beijing Normal University became one of the first six universities with the right to set up undergraduate majors independently. In the 20 16/ 17 world university ranking published by the British Higher Education Research Corporation (QS), it ranks 257th and 8th among universities in China. Among them, pedagogy, psychology, China history, geography and ecology rank first in China. East China Normal University is located in the international metropolis Shanghai. The campus has a beautiful environment and is known as "Garden University". 1959, East China Normal University was identified as the first batch of 16 key universities in China, followed by 1978, and it was one of the first batch of 33 universities approved by the State Council in 1986 to establish graduate schools. The school pays attention to international cooperation and exchange, and has successively established strategic partnerships with world-renowned universities such as Paris Teachers College Group, University of Virginia, Cornell University, Melbourne University, Brazil's S? o Paulo University, new york University and Tokyo University, and signed academic cooperation and exchange agreements with more than 200 universities and scientific research institutions around the world. Huazhong Normal University is located in Wuhan, the thoroughfare of nine provinces. It is a key comprehensive normal university directly under the Ministry of Education of China, a national "2 1 1 Project" key university, a national "985" innovative platform for superior disciplines of teacher education, and an important base for training teachers and other senior professionals in middle and higher schools. There are 8 national key disciplines and 1 national key discipline. The school is rich in resources and has two national-level talent training and scientific research bases for basic disciplines of arts and sciences (physics and history); 1 national engineering technology research center (digital learning); There are three key research bases of humanities and social sciences of the Ministry of Education (China Institute of Modern History, China Rural Research Institute, and Language Education Research Center), and a series of bases and research centers established by the state, provincial and Ministry of Education. Northeast Normal University is located in the northeast of Changchun City, Jilin Province. Based on scientific research, the school has formed excellent disciplines represented by pedagogy, history, ideological and political education, biology, ecology and chemistry. In recent years, chemistry, materials science, engineering, botany and zoology have entered the top of ESI global ranking 1%. The school has established Confucius Institutes in Korea, Spain, the United States, Canada and Mongolia. Hanban, the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs respectively set up an international Chinese teacher training base, a Chinese education base, an education assistance base and a China-ASEAN education and training center in Northeast Normal University. Shaanxi Normal University is located in xi 'an, one of the four famous historical and cultural cities in the world. Known as the "cradle of teachers" in the northwest. The school actively implements the strategy of strengthening the school through scientific research, and its scientific research strength is improved year by year, especially in humanities and social sciences. During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, humanities and social sciences undertook 145 scientific research projects at or above the provincial level, including 28 projects funded by the National Social Science Fund and 32 projects funded by the Ministry of Education. The main site of Southwest University is located in Beibei District, Chongqing, at the foot of Jinyun Mountain and beside Jialing River, with a green space rate of 40%. The campus is grand and solemn. It is a well-known garden-style school in China and a civilized campus commended by the Ministry of Education. In 2005, Southwest Normal University and Southwest Agricultural University merged to form Southwest University. There are 3 national key disciplines and 2 national key (cultivation) disciplines. 2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of attending a free normal school? Advantages: 1 There is no tuition and accommodation during the university, and there is a certain subsidy every month. 2. After graduation, the work assigned by the state is directly a teacher with an establishment, and the establishment is permanent. 3. 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. Disadvantages: 1, long service cycle, usually 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. 2. Those who fail to designate primary and secondary schools as agreed shall compensate for the liquidated damages and return the tuition fees, accommodation fees and subsidy funds exempted during the university period. 3. Generally speaking, 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. 3. What are the preferential policies for free normal students? First, the central government is responsible for arranging tuition and accommodation fees for free normal students during their school days and issuing living allowances; Generally, 600 yuan is subsidized every month during school. That is, ten months a year. Second, under the overall planning of the relevant provincial governments, the provincial education administrative department will implement the post of free normal students. Free normal students must teach in primary and secondary schools four years after graduation, and every free normal student who teaches in primary and secondary schools has a position; Third, free normal students can move between schools during the service period stipulated in the agreement and have the opportunity to work in education management positions; Fourth, provide good conditions for free normal students to continue their studies. If the free normal students meet the requirements after examination, the school can admit them as postgraduate students in education and study professional courses on the job. Free normal students should sign an agreement with the school and the provincial education administrative department where the students are located before entering the school, and promise to engage in primary and secondary education after graduation 10 years or more. Free normal graduates who work in urban schools should first teach in rural schools for 2 years. The state encourages free normal graduates to teach for a long time and for life. The first is the candidates who love education. For candidates who want to join the basic education at the grass-roots level, normal students at public expense are definitely the best choice. Not only do you not have to spend money at school, but you can also take up the post of teacher directly after graduation, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Followed by candidates who pursue career preparation. If the future career plan is to be a teacher and plan to take the teacher preparation exam, but you are worried that the future competition will be big and it will be difficult for teachers to prepare for the exam, then public normal students are also a good choice. Finally, there are candidates with poor family economic conditions. For those candidates whose family economic conditions are not very good, public fee students are definitely a good choice. During the study period, you will not only spend money, but also receive state subsidies, which will greatly reduce the economic burden of the family. The above is our understanding of free normal schools. What are the advantages and disadvantages of attending a free normal school? What are the preferential policies for free normal students?
