The certification concept of “being student-centered, being output-oriented, and improving continuously ” is deeply rooted in the hearts of the NENUers, and a quality culture characterizing “effectiveness of students’ learning” as the core and continuous improvement has been formed universitywide, and the quality of talent training has been comprehensively improved.
Normal professional certification is an important measure taken by the Ministry of Education to implement the “Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Comprehensively Deepening the Reform of Teacher Team Building in the New Era”. The aim is to comprehensively guarantee and improve the quality of normal professional talents, firmly promote the characteristic development of normal universities, pursue excellence, and cultivate high-quality professional and innovative teachers in the new era from the source.
