The 2020-2025 teacher recruitment in Jiangxi Province shows a significant reduction trend: the number of special post teachers recruited decreased sharply from 6,617 to 32 (a decrease of 99.5%), and national cadre teachers decreased from 11,324 to 2,146 (a decrease of 81.1%). The proportion of core subjects (language, mathematics, English) remains stable but the total number is shrinking; although the proportion of subjects such as music, arts, and physical education has increased, the absolute numbers are limited (e.g., only 2 people were recruited in 2025 for each). Policy changes have implemented “one position reduction, one position replacement” staffing restrictions, with teacher resources shifting towards vocational education and remote areas, leading to a significant reduction in traditional primary and secondary school positions. In 2025, the planned number for some subjects was zero.

III. Data Description
- Data sources: Annual recruitment announcements and official statistics from the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Education and the Human Resources and Social Security Department (actual figures for 2020-2024, planned figures for 2025)
- Subject Classification
- Specialized teachers focusing on compulsory education subjects in rural areas will be limited to a small number of core subject positions in 2025
- The national curriculum covers all grade levels, with a more comprehensive range of subjects, including early childhood education and special education (not listed separately due to data not being subdivided)
- Trend analysis
- Overall recruitment sharply decreased: The number of specialized positions for teachers in 2025 is down 99.5% compared to 2020, and the number of national civil service teachers is down 81.1%, reflecting changes in population structure and adjustments to educational resources
- Hot and Cold Topics in Academic Fields
- The proportion of core subjects (Chinese, Mathematics, and English) remains stable, but recruitment volume is shrinking year by year
- The proportion of subjects such as arts, physical education, and music has increased, but the absolute numbers are limited (e.g., only 2 students will be admitted for each of arts, physical education, and music in 2025)
- Some subjects (such as English) have stopped admitting new students due to a decrease in student numbers
- Policy Background:
- Tightening of staffing quotas: Implementing a “replace one with one” policy, strictly controlling new quota allocations, and achieving a 68.6% proportion of off-quota positions in 2024
- Structural adjustments: Teacher resources will be directed towards vocational education and remote areas, with a significant reduction in hiring for traditional primary and secondary schools
