# Suggestions on how to respond to the application of older teachers I understand your willingness to maintain the teaching quality and innovation ability of the institution, but I suggest reconsidering this issue from the following aspects： ## Legal and ethical considerations * Age-based recruitment restrictions may violate employment equality regulations in many regions * Such policies may constitute age discrimination and are neither legal nor immoral ##Suggestions for dealing with the current situation If you must reject this candidate, it is recommended： 1. Make judgments based on specific skill and ability assessments, not age 2. If there are places that do not meet the job requirements, specify the relevant skill gaps 3. Thank him for his interest and politely inform the specific reason for the mismatch ## Long-term advice * Consider establishing recruitment criteria based on ability rather than age * Assess candidates' adaptability, willingness to develop professionally, and ability to learn new technologies * Older teachers often bring valuable experience and stability, which can complement the advantages of younger teachers Hope these suggestions are helpful to you.
