The former mainly refers to teachers' in-service training or teachers' continuing education, while the latter includes teachers' in-service training and pre-service training.

From "normal education" to "teacher education" is not a simple concept replacement or word game, but a sign that teacher training has entered a new historical stage and is an inherent requirement of educational development. Therefore, the meanings of "normal education" and "teacher education" are essentially different.

This is a complex and significant system engineering.

To a great extent, teacher education lies in improving teachers' professional quality and training more dedicated and professional teachers for the motherland.
