The recruitment and cultivation project for young teachers: in 2002, the Qingpu District took the initiative to implement the "Attraction" policy, with 20 million yuan invested in total to recruit more than 1,800 young teachers, mainly students graduating from "211 Project" and provincial-level normal universities. Among them, more than 60% were sent to rural schools to teach. This year, an incentive policy was promulgated to encourage higher education (mainly postgraduate education) of on-job teachers. As many as 320 teachers have signed up for the examination for postgraduate study in the education category. A 3-year strengthened systematic training was also initiated, targeting all the District's preschool teachers, who were recruited from 2002 to 2006 and did not major in preschool education.

The training project of eminent and outstanding teachers: in recent years, two separate elections for the District's outstanding teachers have selected a batch of eminent teachers, top-grade teachers, model teachers, excellent teachers and new outstanding teachers, with generous awards granted to them. Meanwhile, seven project studios were established to provide a stage for full exertion of these teachers as well as for emergence of more outstanding teachers. In addition, all English teachers of Qingpu District participated in the strengthened oral English training given by foreign teachers and nearly 40% of them went to U.K. and Australia for further intensified training programs.

The stabilization project of rural teachers: in 2005, the District launched the "Rural Teachers Stabilization Project" and invested more than 10 million yuan every year in awarding backbone teachers according to the 3-thousand-yuan-per-capita standard. Under concerns of their party committees and governments, one town after another implemented the allowance system for backbone teachers, leading to an apparent decrease of teachers asking for transferring to urban schools and even a teachers' "backflow" in recent years.

The project of cultivating eminent headmasters: the Qingpu District Education Bureau established the "Headmaster Cultivation Office" and the "Headmaster Development Office". Through such approaches as headmaster's forum, supplementary communication, topic guidance and training under a special topic, the headmasters' capability of implementing the quality-oriented education has been promoted. It is learnt that the supplementary communication between Qingpu and such central urban districts as Changning has also entered a further stage.
