Two pathways to secure a government job on the day you fill out college applications: government-funded teacher training and targeted medical student programs, at the cost of a six-year service commitment.

Tuition and housing fees are waived, and you receive a living stipend. The trade-off is that for six years after graduation you cannot freely choose a career; breaking the contract requires you to repay all funds, pay a penalty, and accept a negative mark on your credit record. The difficulty lies in the fact that you cannot relocate during these six years.
Both programs involve the state covering your education costs upfront; in return, you must work at a designated location for six years after graduation. Government-funded teacher training is offered only at six universities directly under the Ministry of Education, with admission occurring in an early admission round. For targeted medical students, a tripartite agreement must be signed before receiving the admission letter. Violating the contract leads to repayment obligations, penalties, and a credit record impact. Carefully consider whether you can accept these six years of commitment before applying.

Original recommendation and evidence
13. Two pathways to secure a government job on the day you fill out college applications: government-funded teacher training and targeted medical student programs, at the cost of a six-year service commitment.
Cost: Tuition and housing fees are waived, and you receive a living stipend. The trade-off is that for six years after graduation you cannot freely choose a career; breaking the contract requires you to repay all funds, pay a penalty, and accept a negative mark on your credit record. The difficulty lies in the fact that you cannot relocate during these six years.
In plain terms: Both programs involve the state covering your education costs upfront; in return, you must work at a designated location for six years after graduation. Government-funded teacher training is offered only at six universities directly under the Ministry of Education, with admission occurring in an early admission round. For targeted medical students, a tripartite agreement must be signed before receiving the admission letter. Violating the contract leads to repayment obligations, penalties, and a credit record impact. Carefully consider whether you can accept these six years of commitment before applying.
Benefit: Government-funded teacher training is governed by the “Implementation Measures for Government-Funded Education of Teacher-Training Students with Undergraduate-Graduate Continuation at Universities Directly Under the Ministry of Education” (2024), which supersedes the 2018 version. Article 2 stipulates that central government funds cover tuition, housing, and living stipends. Article 3 specifies that training targets areas below provincial capitals in central and western regions (except for five autonomous regions, border provinces, Hainan, Guizhou, and Qinghai). It also states that placement is not permitted in municipalities, special economic zones, or main urban districts of provincial capitals. Article 9 requires graduates to teach at designated primary or secondary schools within their home province for at least six years; those assigned to urban schools must spend at least one year teaching in rural areas. Article 13 mandates accountability for non-compliance, including credit record inclusion and exclusion from other civil service roles until the term ends. Article 6 allows reclassification to non-teacher majors if unsuited for teaching within one year, with repayment of benefits. Article 14 treats failure to obtain a master’s degree and teaching certification as a breach, requiring repayment and penalties. Article 21 ensures that sufficient government posts are allocated for these graduates. Targeted medical students follow a separate policy: prior to enrollment, they sign an agreement with their university and local health and human resources authorities to serve rural medical institutions for six years. After employment, they must complete three years of standardized residency training. Their breach records are similarly logged, and severe violations are publicly disclosed. Unlike teachers, medical graduates may leave after fulfilling their six-year term, as explicitly permitted by regulations.

Notes: The 2024 policy shifted teacher training to an undergraduate-graduate continuum, rendering the older “immediate post-graduation teaching” model obsolete. Existing agreements remain valid. Securing a government post does not guarantee automatic placement; actual assignments depend on local hiring needs. Medical students must also account for three years of residency, extending their total commitment period. Individual provinces may offer additional programs with varying criteria; always consult the latest local admissions documents.

13. 高考填志愿那天就能锁定编制的两条路：公费师范生和定向医学生，代价是 6 年履约
成本: 学费和住宿费都不用你出，还能拿生活费补助。代价是毕业后 6 年不能自由择业，违约要退钱、交违约金、进信用记录。难在这 6 年里换不了地方。
说人话: 这两条路都是国家先替你出钱，你毕业后按协议去指定的地方干 6 年。公费师范生只在六所教育部直属师范大学招，提前批录取。定向医学生在拿到入学通知书前就要签三方协议。违约要退钱、交违约金，还进信用记录。想清楚这 6 年能不能接受，再填志愿。
收益: 公费师范生看《教育部直属师范大学本研衔接师范生公费教育实施办法》（2024 年，2018 年办法同时废止）。第二条：由中央财政承担学生在校期间学费、住宿费并给予生活费补助。第三条：重点为中西部地区省会城市之外的地（市、州、盟）及以下培养。它还写着「不得定向到直辖市、计划单列市或省会城市主城区任教（五个自治区、陆地边境省份、海南省、贵州省、青海省除外）」。第九条：毕业后一般回生源所在省份定向地（市、州、盟）中小学任教，「承诺从事中小学教育工作 6 年以上」。到城镇学校工作的，「应到农村义务教育学校任教服务至少 1 年」。第十三条：没履约或者履约期限不够的，按协议承担责任。后果之一是「违约行为纳入信用记录，并及时与全国信用信息共享平台共享，违约相关材料归入本人人事档案」。另一句是「履约任务完成前不得到定向地（市、州、盟）之外从教，不得被招录（聘用）为其他公务人员。完成履约任务后即修复相关信用」。协议约定的服务期没干满之前，别的公职岗位报不了；干满了，信用记录才恢复。第六条：录取后经考察不适合从教的，入学 1 年内退还已享受的公费教育费用，并调整到非师范专业。第十四条：没在规定学习年限内取得教育硕士学历学位证书和教师资格证书的，按违约处理，退费并缴纳违约金。第二十一条：各地在现有事业编制总量内，解决公费师范生到中小学任教所需编制。农村订单定向免费医学生看另一份通知。录取后、获得入学通知书前，须与培养学校和定向就业所在地县级卫生健康、人社部门签署协议。协议里要「承诺毕业后到定向农村基层医疗卫生机构服务 6 年」。履约就是按协议去指定的地方干满。履约报到就业后，须参加 3 年全科专业住院医师规范化培训，简称规培。规培就是毕业后在医院按统一标准接着练本事的阶段。培训期间原人事、工资关系不变。违约记录归入个人人事档案，并作为医疗卫生机构等行政事业单位公开招录（招聘）、住院医师规范化培训招收、研究生招生录取的诚信评价依据。恶意违约的人，通过「信用中国」网站全国公示，并实行失信联合惩戒。违约的培训年限不计入服务期。没按协议退还费用和违约金的，由县级卫生健康行政部门通过法律途径追缴（全国）

来源: 国务院办公厅 (2024). 关于转发教育部等部门《教育部直属师范大学本研衔接师范生公费教育实施办法》的通知（国办发〔2024〕27 号，第二、三、六、九、十三、十四、二十一条）. <https://www.gov.cn/zhengce/zhengceku/202406/content_6957261.htm>；国家卫生健康委、中央编办、国家发展改革委、教育部、财政部、人力资源社会保障部、国家中医药局 (2019). 关于做好农村订单定向免费培养医学生就业安置和履约管理工作的通知. <https://www.gov.cn/zhengce/zhengceku/2019-11/13/content_5451684.htm>
备注: 2024 年那份办法把公费师范生改成了「本研衔接」（本科接着读教育硕士）。2018 年的老办法已经废止，网上还在传的「本科毕业直接任教」是旧说法。办法发布前已经签了协议的，按原协议走。「有编制」不等于「进去就不用管」：编制要在现有总量里腾，具体岗位由地市组织用人学校专门招聘，你和学校互相挑。定向医学生服务期满想走是可以的，文件写明「服务期满，对自主择业的应予同意」。已经违约的也有把违约记录消掉的办法，代价是按原协议、或者改到省内其他农村基层机构再干满至少 6 年，已交的费用和违约金不退。医学生还要算上 3 年规培的时间，整个周期比师范长。各省还有自己的公费师范生和定向医学生计划，条件由省里定，填志愿前看当年本省的招生文件。
