This study explores the challenges and strategies of education policy implementation of the Excellent Teacher Plan for teacher education sustainability in China. We conduct 36 interviews at one key national, normal university within two campuses, including deans, administers and teachers. It is found that it is difficult to accurately select students who are truly happy and suitable for teaching. The synergy of academy education needs to be further improved. The low comprehensive quality of students leads to the prominent difficulty of training. The guidance and strength of post-employment security policy are still unclear. It is suggested that we should strengthen public publicity and call for greater autonomy in enrollment; establish a collaborative training system and standardize the operation mechanism of the academy system; promote the quality and increment of teaching and balance the cultivation of various types of students; and clarify the post-employment development policy and improve the graduate security system. In addition, the conclusion is offered last.
