Teacher preparation examination and teacher recruitment examination are not the same concept. After passing the teacher preparation examination, the teacher is a staff member of the institution. Teachers' recruitment examination is not necessarily a compilation of teachers, but also a non-compilation of teachers, that is, temporary employees or contract workers.

There is no unified examination form and syllabus in the whole country, and some provinces implement unified examinations throughout the province, but most provinces are still summarized by local district and county education bureaus according to the recruitment of teachers in local district and county schools.

The establishment of teachers belongs to the establishment of fully funded institutions and enjoys the working treatment of institutions. The composition of teachers' salary consists of basic salary, subsidy and title salary. Teachers' work with establishment is more secure and stable.
