Objectives and tasks: strengthen the responsibility of local subjects, implement the policy that the average annual salary of compulsory education teachers is not lower than that of local civil servants, and promote local rectification of the problem of arrears of teachers' wages.
Work measures: improve the long-term mechanism to guarantee teachers' wages and benefits, strengthen the responsibility of local subjects, strengthen supervision, ensure that the average annual wage income of compulsory education teachers is not lower than that of local civil servants, and urge local authorities to rectify the problem of arrears in teachers' wages and benefits.
After this document was published, it was questioned by many teachers. I think there are so many reasons for this questioning voice, which can be summarized as follows.
First, the implementation of wages and benefits in compulsory education is not enough.
Over the past decade or so, the policy of improving teachers' treatment for many years has basically been "more thunder than rain". While being criticized, this phenomenon is also vividly called "air conditioning" by teachers. Although a lot of policies have been formulated in recent years that favor the welfare and salary of compulsory education teachers, it is a pity that, as before, many policies have not been put in place and will not significantly improve the salary of compulsory education teachers.
We know that if a person's promise is not fulfilled many times, then his belief will be seriously affected. It is for this reason that many teachers in compulsory education are habitually skeptical about whether this policy can be implemented and how much it can be implemented.
Second, the policy statement that "the average annual salary of compulsory education teachers is not lower than that of local civil servants" is itself a problem.
In the compulsory education stage, teachers basically don't have much other policy welfare income except salary income, while civil servants have various benefits besides salary income, such as car compensation and travel compensation, and the government pays much more provident fund for civil servants every year than teachers. All these still add up to far more than the income of all teachers.
In other words, even if the policy that the average annual salary of compulsory education teachers is not lower than that of local civil servants can be implemented, the annual total income gap between teachers and civil servants is still very large!
If the original policy can be changed to "the average annual income of compulsory education teachers is not lower than that of local civil servants", I believe many teachers will be convinced.
Thirdly, the expression of "average salary" will ignore the "low-income" groups among teachers to some extent.
Teachers who are also in the compulsory education stage, because of professional titles, positions and other reasons, there is a big gap between teachers' salaries and annual total income. Some earn five or six thousand yuan a month, while others earn more than two thousand yuan a month.
In the past, when the salary was generally adjusted, it was basically that the monthly salary of high-paid teachers was higher than that of low-paid teachers, and the monthly salary of low-paid teachers was generally tens of dollars. Therefore, it is really pitiful to say that high-paid teachers should be "averaged". This will inevitably make teachers question its objective rationality.
Fourth, high school teachers are the most tired group, and their salaries are seriously low, but they have repeatedly failed to take care of the policy.
It is no exaggeration to say that high school is the most painful and tiring stage of all educational stages in China. High school teachers are also a group of teachers who are tired at all stages.
Many senior high school teachers have not given out the "spiritual civilization award", "heating subsidy, high temperature subsidy" and "thirteen-month salary" for many years, and they have not raised their salaries enough according to the regulations.
There are obvious unreasonable phenomena. In the same city, some counties give all teachers spiritual civilization awards every year, and some counties give a dollar a year for hairdressing. Equally unreasonable are heating subsidies and high temperature subsidies.
But high school teachers seem to be "the most diligent at work and the most forgetful at welfare!" This group. In recent years, every "big move" to improve teachers' treatment has nothing to do with high school teachers. This is also one of the most chilling places for high school teachers every year.
