(The teacher qualification examination is a teacher qualification examination officially established by the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education.
Before 2012, the teacher qualification examinations were organized by each province. It is mainly for candidates who need to obtain a non-teacher professional teacher qualification certificate. (Teacher qualification certificates are issued directly by professional teacher training schools)
After 2012, the teacher qualification examination was incorporated into the mode of combining the unified examination and the provincial examination. By 2018, all provinces except Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, and Tibet will be included in the unified teacher qualification examination. The Examination Center of the Ministry of Education formulates the test questions, and the local Education Examination Institute conducts the examination. It is mainly for candidates who need to obtain teacher qualification certificates for teacher-training majors and non-teacher-training majors.)
