In order to encourage substitute teachers to continue teaching and to provide a guarantee for substitute teachers, after the education reform, some areas have gradually implemented the relevant policies for the recruitment of substitute teachers. Among them, the evaluation method is mainly adopted to relax the conditions and implement merit-based admission.
