In recent years, compared with the severe employment situation of graduates from many professional colleges, the employment of graduates from normal colleges has been in short supply and has not declined year after year. This is because China's education is relatively backward and there is a shortage of educational talents. At present, the rapid development of education has brought a broad employment market for normal college graduates. Judging from the employment of graduates, the employment prospects of graduates in the research direction of curriculum and teaching theory are relatively good.
