Although "all roads lead to Rome", a good foundation and wise planning often play a crucial role in life's major decisions. Faced with a seemingly overwhelming number of career options, today's graduates are actually able to find very few truly satisfying opportunities.
Many parents place too much emphasis on their children's academic performance and lack a clear understanding of their children's career plans. This has led to many students, despite their good grades, behaving like "headless flies" when choosing a major in the college entrance examination, and choosing a direction at random.
Fortunately, more and more people have begun to recognize the importance of choice. Some of the most sought-after subject paths have stood the test of time. There is one area that is beginning to cause controversy, and that is the pedagogical profession.
As fertility rates fall, there are concerns about whether the teaching profession will become a "trap". Some people summarize from a realistic point of view: what is encouraged, what is often lacking. Although there seem to be more families with "two children" and "three children" around them than before, the overall data shows a significant decline in the fertility rate.
This is not because this generation of parents is reluctant to pursue this profession because they "pursue freedom", but because young parents are more focused on cultivating a sense of responsibility in their children and are well aware of the importance of parenting responsibilities. At the same time, the realities of life make it difficult for them to think about fertility easily.
As one netizen said: It's not because I don't want to buy a famous car, but because I can't afford the related costs, and the younger generation may be even less willing in this regard.
Overall, the decline in fertility has become an undeniable trend due to practical reasons. The implications for the future are manifold, but one closely related profession is teaching.
People who work as kindergarten teachers may observe a significant decrease in the number of students. In the past, even some less popular kindergartens always attracted some convenient parents to send their children there. However, nowadays, kindergartens in many places are facing the problem of "difficulty in recruiting students" and have to provide more services to survive in the fierce competition. Sometimes, kindergarten teachers stand at the door in the morning, and it may take a while to welcome one or two students.
This is also the case in high school admissions in some areas. Although this trend is rarely felt in large cities, in some small fourth- and fifth-tier cities, announcements of high school closures continue to be heard.
Due to the sharp decline in the number of students, many people worry that the teaching profession may become the next "sinkhole". With fewer students, it may be more difficult for normal students to find jobs.
To this situation, the insider gave an answer, pointing out that two trends are difficult to change. In terms of the current popularity of the teaching profession, it is still one of the most desirable professions in everyone's eyes. Especially in the context of limited and volatile salaries for private sector jobs, teaching positions are even more popular than before.
There is a view that the education industry may be experiencing a "return to the light" before the industry recession and ushering in the final "peak". Through the study of professional analysis, the author has compiled some accepted views.
When it comes to the future of education, there are two trends that are hard to change. First, it is almost inevitable that the aggregate demand for educational posts will decline and staffing will become more valuable.
Education and training institutions are no longer as prosperous as they used to be, and a considerable part of the market's ability to absorb the employment of normal students has been reduced. At the same time, public schools have limited students**, and in-service teachers may also face the problem of staying in their positions.
Some believe that as fertility rates fall, schools may be taught more granularly, from the size of forty or fifty students per class in the past to the possibility of small classes of more than ten in the future. In-service teachers may not immediately face mass layoffs.
Therefore, students who are studying teacher training do not need to be too nervous. It is unlikely that the teaching profession will quickly turn into a "sinkhole" industry. Unlike industries such as Internet giants outside the system, the changes in teacher positions in public schools will be more gradual and gradual.
Secondly, although there is some buffer, the degree of involution of the teaching profession may continue to increase in the future, showing a more obvious "28 law". In other words, public school teachers are likely to enter the track of "elite training".
Just like many college students from prestigious schools in Qingbei began to compete with normal students. If you can stand your ground, the treatment you get will be very generous. However, the average second-year and junior college students who want to become teachers may have a lower chance of success, similar to the situation in the medical profession.
In addition, there is another issue worth paying attention to, some professionals have proposed to restrict non-normal college students from obtaining teaching certificates. Although it has not yet been finalized, if implemented, it will mean that the gap between the different levels of teacher training colleges will be further widened.
Summary] Will the teaching profession become a "sinkhole" profession in the future?According to the analysis of professionals, students and parents do not need to worry too much. The so-called "sinkholes" are relative in the final analysis.
For graduates with relatively low academic qualifications, it may be true that they need to consider changing careers. But for students who have graduated from prestigious universities, a career as a teacher may bring better benefits. If you can be admitted to an excellent undergraduate major, choosing to study teacher training is still an option worth considering.
