The result shows that, in 2016, only 12.62% full-time teachers have the senior title, and 29.58% have the deputy-senior title. At the same time, there are big differences between different provinces. Beijing has the highest proportion of senior titles, up to 28.48%, while Xinjiang has the lowest proportion of senior titles, only 6.8%.
