70 Years of Teacher Workforce Capacity Building

Over the past 70 years since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the Communist Party of China and the Chinese Government have strived tirelessly to build the country’s teaching capacity and achieved a leap in the development of its teaching body. Despite limited resources, China has established the world’s largest education system bolstered by a well-structured, well-trained and highly motivated teacher workforce. This strong, high-quality workforce now constitutes a fundamental pillar in achieving China’s national educational goals to accelerate the modernization of education, offer quality education that meets people’s expectation and catapult the country to the top of world rankings in education.
