The 5-year "Orientation Normal Student" of the high school entrance examination, although the establishment is enviable, but the shortcomings cannot be ignored!

Directly becoming a teacher after graduating from junior high school? Is it really worth considering to develop a 5-year program for normal students?

For many junior high school graduates, the choice after the high school entrance examination often determines their future life trajectory. With the deepening of education reform, an emerging choice has gradually entered everyone's field of vision - that is, the 5-year high school entrance examination is formulated for normal students.

This option seems to provide a shortcut for students who are interested in a career in education but do not want to go through the gaokao competition. However, is the road really as good as it seems? Is it suitable for every young person who is interested in a career in education?

1. What is the charm of orientation normal students?

Directional normal students, which sounds like a term with a certain "special" meaning, actually refers to those students who have passed the high school entrance examination, directly entered the normal school to receive targeted training, and were directly assigned to teach in rural primary schools after graduation.

This training method is characterized by "three orientations", that is, targeted enrollment, targeted training and targeted employment.

Targeted enrollment means that the school will select a number of junior high school graduates to study in normal schools according to the candidates' wishes and grades. At the time of enrollment, these students have already decided on their future career direction - rural primary education.

The targeted training focuses on the cultivation of students' practical teaching ability to ensure that they are competent for teaching in primary schools after graduation. Finally, targeted employment ensures that these students can smoothly enter rural primary schools to teach after graduation, and no longer have to worry about finding a job.

This training method is undoubtedly a good choice for those junior high school students whose family economic conditions are average, but who are interested in education.

It not only solves their employment problems but also provides them with a stable career path. Moreover, because the admission score line for directional normal students is relatively low, and the learning difficulty is not great, it is a good choice for those junior high school students with medium grades.

2. 5 years to develop an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of normal students

(1) Advantages

1. Low admission threshold: Compared with the high admission score of ordinary high schools and universities, the admission threshold for targeted normal students is relatively low, so that more junior high school students who are interested in education have the opportunity to enter normal schools.
2. Low learning pressure: Since the training goal of targeted normal students is to become primary school teachers, the curriculum is relatively simple and the learning pressure is relatively small. This is undoubtedly a great option for students who wish to escape the fierce competition of high school and college.
3. Guaranteed employment: Teachers are directly assigned after graduation, so you don't have to worry about finding a job. This is undoubtedly a huge advantage for students whose families are financially average and who want to find a stable job as soon as possible.
4. Alleviate financial pressure: Compared with the high tuition and living expenses that need to be paid for high school and university, targeted normal students can enjoy a certain tuition waiver and living allowance during their school years, which effectively alleviates the financial pressure of their families.

(2) Where the disadvantages are

1. Difficult working environment: After graduation, orientation normal students need to teach in rural primary schools, and the working environment is relatively difficult. This can be a difficult condition for students who want to thrive in a big city and enjoy a quality of life.
2. Limited development space: Since the employment direction of targeted normal students has been determined, their development space may be limited to a certain extent. This can be an issue to consider for students who want more options and opportunities in the future.
3. Difficulty in changing careers: Due to the strong professionalism and particularity of orientation normal students, once they feel that they are not suitable for education or want to change careers to other careers after graduation, they may face greater difficulties.

3. Which students are not suitable for applying for the 5-year program?

1. Students who aspire to a high-paying life in a big city: For those students who want to develop in a big city and pursue a high-paying life, orientation as a normal student may not be a good choice. Because their employment direction has been determined to be rural primary education, their future development space and income may be limited.
2. Students who don't like to deal with children: Although the work of a teacher is glorious and great, it is necessary to educate and guide a group of children every day. For students who don't like to work with children, lack patience and responsibility, teacher work can be stressful and exhausting.
3. Students who lack persistence and perseverance: Although the training process of orientation normal students is relatively simple and easy, it also requires a certain amount of effort and time from students. For those students who lack persistence and perseverance and give up easily, they may not be able to adapt to this type of training and successfully complete their studies.

4. Conclusion: Choose carefully, and plan for the future

As an emerging educational option, the 5-year high school entrance examination is formulated to provide a shortcut for students who are interested in education but do not want to experience the competition of the college entrance examination.

However, when choosing this path, we need to fully understand its advantages and disadvantages and the scope of application, and weigh and choose based on our own actual situation.

At the same time, we also need to recognize that every choice has its costs and risks, and we need to be well prepared and planned to meet the challenges and opportunities of the future.
