The reasons for the small number of music teachers are as follows.

First, the number of students taking exams is increasing

In recent years, colleges and universities have continued to expand enrollment, graduate students are also expanding, and enrollment from junior college to bachelor's degree is also expanding. The number of fresh graduates is increasing every year. Colleges and universities The employment situation for graduates is grim. As a stable profession, being a teacher has been sought after by many recent graduates. In addition, the state now encourages non-normal students to apply for the teacher qualification certificate, and the number of non-normal students participating in the teacher preparation examination is also increasing, resulting in an increase in the number of teacher preparation examinations year by year. There are only a limited number of open recruitment positions for teachers every year, but the number continues to increase, which makes the exam more and more difficult.

Second, teachers’ salary improvement

The slogan “teachers’ salary should not be lower than the average level of civil servants” has been shouted for 20 years, and now there is a trend of gradual realization. . In recent years, teachers' salaries have increased to a certain extent, which has made the teaching profession more attractive to former students. Being a teacher is a stable job, and the salary and benefits are fully allocated by local finance. After the epidemic, this kind of stability is even more sought after by people.

Third, recruitment requirements are more stringent and more targeted

Nowadays, the restrictions on academic qualifications, majors, age, etc. for teacher recruitment are becoming more and more strict, and many economies are relatively well developed. Regional recruitment already requires a graduate degree. Especially for high school teachers, most cities already require a graduate degree, and even require that the graduate major be the same as the undergraduate major. Recruitment of teachers will be more targeted, which will greatly increase the number of applicants for positions with relatively low requirements, such as primary schools and township schools, and increase the difficulty of examinations for these positions.

Fourth, Reduction of Positions

Nowadays, public institutions are constantly undergoing reforms, gradually reducing or eliminating staffing, and implementing appointment-based recruitment. Primary and secondary schools in many places have now begun to implement appointment system recruitment, which means that the number of teacher positions is gradually decreasing. The number of applicants has increased while the number of positions has decreased, indicating a sharp increase in the difficulty of the exam. Where the editor is located, in the first half of 2019, teacher recruitment was recruiting more than 470 positions. In the first half of this year, only more than 200 positions were recruited, and the positions were reduced by half. However, there are still many applicants, so the exam becomes more difficult.
