The circular said the applicants should meet the educational background requirements stipulated in the country's Teachers Law, and there are also requirements regarding their standard Mandarin Chinese proficiency.

Applicants from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are required to hold residence or travel permits to the mainland.

Other conditions, procedures and materials needed for primary and middle school teaching qualifications are the same as those for mainland applicants, it added.
