Contract teachers in rural China have a negative impact on student achievement compared to civil service teachers. This study shows that students taught by contract teachers score lower in math and Chinese exams. To improve education quality, China needs to focus on hiring high-quality teachers in rural areas. This will help students learn more, earn higher incomes, and boost the economy.
