Rejected by medical examination: Why can’t I be a teacher?

Teacher qualification national examination all three subjects of the written test results passed, the interview passed, Mandarin II A pass …… However, Zou Mi still can not get a teaching certificate.

The reason is that she is a wheelchair user.

The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a couple of years to get a lot more than just a couple of years. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time.

On April 14 this year, Zou honey with the medical examination list to Chongqing Jiulongpo District Education Commission designated qualification medical examination hospital.

The doctor saw her in a wheelchair and, after asking questions, came up with the “Standards and Methods for Medical Examination of Chongqing Applicants for Teacher Qualification”. It is clearly pointed out that the two upper limbs or two lower limbs can not move, that is, the physical examination failed.

The head a pot of cold water, poured Zou honey aggrieved and collapse. On the way home, she cried.

“Why not let me pass? “Until this physical examination, Zou honey realized that the original disability, is not allowed to become a teacher. “This is the saddest day I’ve had since I got into a wheelchair. “She wrote in her circle of friends.

“It was education that chose me.”

In 2000, Zou Mi, still a sophomore at the University of International Business and Economics, suffered a spinal cord injury in an accidental car accident and has been in a wheelchair ever since.

That was the darkest moment of her life. She lost her mother, lost the ability to walk, and interrupted her studies. The three-foot hut became her entire world.

Two years later, Zou Mi was finally able to sit up in her wheelchair. She enrolled in the School of Online Education at Beijing Foreign Studies University and received her “belated” bachelor’s degree in 2007.

Then she passed the graduate exams and entered the Advanced Translation Program at Sichuan Foreign Studies University, where she received her master’s degree; later, she studied abroad and received her second master’s degree ……

The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into. This is how Zoumi taught English. The actual fact is that there are almost twenty years.

The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on this. “Teaching is also unintentional. The students’ achievements and recognition have become her spiritual inspiration and support. “It’s a special kind of happiness. “

In 2018, Zou Mi graduated and returned to China, and Zou, who had already accumulated a good reputation, welcomed more students.

According to the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Education, even teachers who teach subjects in out-of-school training institutions are required to hold a license.

Zou Mi decided to get her teaching license.

Over the years, she has worked hard to get her life back on track. Zoumi broke through many of the wheelchair shackles – she got a C5 driver’s license and can drive herself to and from work; she can play tennis in a wheelchair and ski in one; she also learned jazz dance, and even in a wheelchair, she can dance.

After breaking so many shackles, she couldn’t break the policy.

The student’s parents knew of Zoumi’s distress and sent her a special text message to comfort her. “Learning high as a teacher, the body is right, no certificate, we also recognize you. “

But Zou Mi wants to be reasonably compliant to pursue her love of education. “I have two master’s degrees in English language and literature and education, and I’ve been teaching for so many years. But because of the wheelchair, my career, dreams, it seems to be going down the drain. “

Employment of people with disabilities, society will be more inclusive and equal

Zou Mi is not an isolated case.

In China, to apply for teaching qualifications, you must pass a physical examination organized by the provinces and municipalities. The medical examination standards are set by the provinces and municipalities according to the “Regulations on Teacher Qualification” promulgated by the State Council and the “Implementation Measures” promulgated by the Ministry of Education, which are not uniform everywhere.

Zhang Lili, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, has sorted out the medical examination standards for teacher qualifications in various provinces and municipalities. In general, the following will be included as failing the physical examination.

Those who are unable to use both upper or both lower extremities.

Those who have hearing in both ears within 3 meters, or hearing in one ear within 5 meters and total deafness in the other ear, or total deafness in both ears (except in special circumstances).

Refractive error (myopic or hyperopic eyes) with a lens scale greater than 800 degrees, or single or double blindness (except in special cases)

Those with physical defects in the oral cavity or those whose pronunciation is hindered by ENT diseases (except in special cases).

She pointed out that, in fact, this is a “veto” for people with disabilities to obtain teaching qualifications.

Zhang Wanhong, a professor at Wuhan University Law School and director of Wuhan University’s Center for Public Welfare and Development Law, told Science and Technology Daily on April 29 that the reasonableness of such medical examination regulations is open to question.
