Beijing, October 6 (Xinhua) — The Chinese government plans to hire 7,000 retired teachers this year to teach in compulsory education schools in rural areas, according to a statement jointly released by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Finance.

This teacher recruitment program is part of an action plan launched by the government in 2018 to improve the quality of education in rural areas by attracting retired teachers to schools in rural areas of the country.

According to the statement, the program will target primarily former school principals, teacher researchers and leading experienced teachers under the age of 65.

The specialists recruited under the plan will work in county and village schools in areas that have recently emerged from poverty, as well as in less developed counties with dense populations of ethnic minorities, counties in border areas, and other regions where there is a shortage of sufficient educational resources.
