ABSTRACT: This study was designed to explore the challenges and strategies for the
sustainable development of teacher morality policies in Chinese higher education.
Based on the new era of a decade of the operation of teacher morality policies in Chinese universities, from the
perspective of stakeholders, this study used a qualitative research
method to conduct semi-structured in-depth interviews
with 28 university teachers. The results found that the faculty group
had a more profound knowledge and understanding of teacher morality policies
and had positive attitudes and bright expectations for future development and
enhancement. Teacher morality policy faces current challenges in four aspects:
institutional regulation, evaluation system, education management, and policy
subjects, which require the participation of multiple parties and joint
planning. Taking the promotion of teachers’ sustainable development as the
fulcrum, we should improve the system construction, optimize the supporting
policies, coordinate the management mechanism, and stimulate the vitality of
the main body. In addition, the limitations of the study are given in the last.
