Examples of good practices in China The provision of professional titles (zhicheng) is prioritized for teachers with bianzhi, providing a career progression for teachers. However, in some provinces, such as Shandong and Guangdong (for example, Shenzhen), all eligible teachers, including those who work in the private sector without bianzhi, are equally awarded professional titles (Shandong Province Education Department 2019; Shenzhen Education Bureau of Bao’an District 2019).
