Abstract: Teacher education is the core of education system, and good teacher education is an important boost to the quality
improvement of education in the region. As the second largest education major in Yunnan province, the primary education major
occupies an important position in the "Action Plan for the Revitalization of Teacher Education in Yunnan Province (2020-2022)".
Through a comparative study of the curriculum structures of primary education majors in three universities, it is found that there are
problems such as homogeneous training objectives, indistinctive regional features, and non-standardized curriculum arrangement. In
the hope of providing useful reference for the reform and development of primary education majors in Yunnan province, the present
paper puts forward suggestions including to set proper goals for professional development through deep interpretation of relevant
policies, to optimize curriculum structures which conform to the national standards, to show the characteristics of each university, and
to focus on improving the status of practical courses and cultivate students practical abilities.
