The Chinese Ministry of Education proposed recently reforms in professional experience for pre-service teachers. The current study explores the attitudes of teacher educators in China toward these educational reforms and their perception of the challenges facing the implementation of the proposed reforms. The findings indicate that some of the challenges reflect the unique context in China, where supply of teachers now exceeds demand, the management of professional experience is marginalized, and there is minimal contact between schools used for professional experience placements and teacher education institutions.
