A large number of college graduates obtain teacher qualification certificates and compete for primary and secondary school teachers' positions in various places, which is really conducive to promoting the development of education and injecting fresh blood into the teaching staff. However, we must see another social reality, that is, the demand for teachers in China will drop like a cliff in the next 30 years.
According to the statistics of the Ministry of Education, there are 0.0732 million primary school students, 5.06 million junior high school students, 27.00 million senior high school students and 78.47 million secondary vocational school students. The total number of teachers in China has exceeded180,000.
This means that the overall number of students in China has reached an all-time peak. With the gradual decrease of the number of newborn babies, China needs to gradually reduce the number of teachers in order to adapt to the development of education and avoid the waste of teachers' resources.
On the one hand, a large number of college graduates want to enter the teaching profession, on the other hand, the demand is gradually decreasing. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the structure of teachers and eliminate some unqualified teachers from the teaching staff in order to truly improve the overall quality of teachers.
The teaching profession will be "reformed" again, and six types of teachers will be forced to dismiss.
Teachers' withdrawal mechanism is reported all over the country. At present, more than ten provinces are piloting and will be fully piloted in 2023. One of the most important problems is to break the teacher tenure system and improve the competitiveness of teachers through continuous assessment and comprehensive evaluation.
A new round of teacher reform is advancing. For example, the "Implementation Measures for the Exit Mechanism of Primary and Secondary School (Kindergarten) Teachers in Ningbo (Draft for Comment)" issued by Ningbo Education Bureau is a detailed explanation of the dismissal and transfer of primary and secondary school teachers, which has been promoted locally.
Based on the situation in various provinces, six types of teachers will be forcibly dismissed, that is, the so-called teacher establishment will be lost. First, teachers who fail to pass the examination for two consecutive years will be dismissed according to the actual situation. The standard of evaluation is a controversial topic at present, but this scheme has been determined at present.
Second, continuous absenteeism, no leave to the school and education department. The third category is illegal operations, such as major accidents and dereliction of duty. These all affect the image of the school and have a great influence on students. Specifically, look at the following six provisions.
Judging from the above six provisions, only the first one has the greatest influence on teachers, and there is controversy at present. The main basis and implementation method of academic year evaluation are the focus of teachers' attention. Should the content of this assessment be students' grades, teachers' lecture level, or professional title evaluation?
If students' grades are used as the evaluation basis, then teachers in key classes will definitely have an advantage, and teachers who teach ordinary classes will have a headache and it is easy to fail the exam. It is also a big problem whether schools can be randomly assigned when they are divided into classes.
The teaching staff really needs to be reorganized, but we should pay attention to the methods.
At present, there are problems in our entire education system, including the staff and principals of the education department, which should be the targets of rectification. I am afraid that the education directors and principals who have been investigated during this period will refresh everyone's cognition.
Therefore, the rectification of the education industry is not limited to teachers, but should be the whole system. Only a more perfect system and supervision mechanism can purify the educational environment. It's just that there are too many teachers now, and there are still a large number of teachers who muddle along, fail to perform their duties and waste national resources.
The number of students is decreasing now, and the demand for teachers will also decrease in the future. Therefore, the education departments in many provinces no longer provide staffing when recruiting teachers, and are gradually implementing the teacher withdrawal mechanism to reduce the number of teachers.
We must realize that the education system will affect the cultivation of students, so we should pay attention to the methods and consider the voices of front-line teachers in the process of diagnosis. Many of our teachers also berate those teachers who lie flat and cultivate relationships.
Therefore, we need a more reasonable, open and transparent scheme when establishing a teacher withdrawal mechanism or dismissal system, so as to avoid repeating the detours that teachers have taken when evaluating their professional titles, so as to reassure front-line teachers and let those teachers who are unethical and incompetent quit in time.
