Yu suggested that rural teachers should be paid more than urban teachers. Is it possible?
Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Democratic League, and chairman and CEO of Beijing New Oriental Education Technology (Group) Co., Ltd. said in response to a reporter's question about "how to achieve educational equity" that the problem of educational equity is actually the problem of urban and rural education in China. In order to achieve educational equity between rural and urban areas, he believes that the salary system of all teachers who teach in rural primary and secondary schools should be 20%-30% higher than that of urban teachers. I admit that his proposal is a bit "simple and rude". He said that it is not a long-term solution to ask rural teachers to take root in the countryside with dedication, so he has always advocated that the treatment of rural teachers in China must exceed that of urban teachers. "Because we have all been to school, we all know where the excellent teachers are and where the excellent students are. Through the improvement of treatment, I believe that the quality of rural teachers will be better improved. "
Yu suggested that rural teachers should be paid more than urban teachers. what do you think? The interactive platform of red pepper commentators-the current commentary chat forum set up a debate post of "current commentary meeting", and red pepper commentators and netizens expressed their views one after another. Thank you for your support and enthusiastic participation. After editing and sorting out the red pepper comments, the main points are as follows:
In favor: the rural education foundation is weak, and the low salary leads to the serious loss of teachers. If they don't raise their wages, they can't keep good teachers at all, and rural basic education will never be improved, so this proposal is of great significance.
I'm Mu Yi: Rural teachers are really suffering. Not only is the treatment poor, but the key is that there is no room for improvement.
UID:803 1 1: teachers should be paid fairly, rural teachers and urban teachers should be treated equally, and the treatment of urban teachers should not be two to three times higher than that of county and township teachers! Encouraging teachers in cities to teach in rural areas can improve 50%!
William's knife: rural teachers are not about raising their wages, but about doubling their wages. I thought I was studying hard, but my eyes were blind and my body was broken. Now I am not as good as most migrant workers, so I am not willing! Really unwilling!
Yan Fei: It's a good idea to make the salary of rural teachers higher than that of urban teachers, so as to attract excellent teachers to the countryside.
Warm harbor: indeed, most excellent teachers now live in cities and counties, and the strength of teachers in rural areas is getting weaker and weaker. If this continues, children in rural areas will only get worse and worse. The treatment of teachers is inclined to the countryside, which helps to slow down the speed of teachers entering the city.
Dongsheng Red Sun: If we don't improve the treatment of rural teachers, we can't keep good teachers. At present, only old teachers with local difficulties can't walk in rural areas. I'm afraid these old people will leave school and go to the city after retirement. This phenomenon has already happened.
On the contrary, the price level in rural areas is low, and it is obviously unrealistic to ask rural teachers to be paid more than urban teachers regardless of the actual situation. Moreover, retaining rural teachers is not the only way to improve the treatment of teachers.
Qu Li: I beg to differ. The treatment must be reflected in the teaching level and labor service contribution. At present, most students gather in urban schools, which are full. The management and teaching tasks are heavy, the workload is heavy, the teachers are of high level and the treatment is better. Rural teachers can be properly subsidized!
Liu Yunxi: The treatment of rural teachers must be improved, and it must be improved. It's better to be similar to a city teacher. But on the basis of rural economic development, we must speed up the construction of a new socialist countryside. Only when the rural economy develops, the rural landscape is completely changed and the social service ability is improved can the treatment of rural teachers be fundamentally changed. It not only improves the income level, but also improves the working environment and working conditions. If you have money and a place to spend, you can improve your living standard and live the same life as a city teacher.
Me on Mars: Teachers' salary is not an overall standard. At present, it is unrealistic to make the salary of rural teachers higher than that of urban teachers. First, teachers are professional in most places, which is also considered as financial support personnel, which is more or less linked to local GDP. Second, the gap between rural and urban production and living expenses is still obvious, and the economic pressure brought by localized teaching to rural teachers is not as obvious as that in cities. Third, the state sympathizes with the current educational situation of rural teachers and encourages their wages to reach the level of local civil servants. The starting point is to ensure the balanced development of education investment. The investment in management at the three levels of urban and rural villages is different, so the rural treatment can only be reduced as much as possible. But there are still regional economic differences, and rural areas must attack cities, unless it is in a place like Huaxi Village, or it is possible.
"For a long time, China's education development has focused on infrastructure and hardware construction, focusing on scale expansion and improving enrollment opportunities. However, it has paid little attention to the quality of education, the construction of teachers and their quality, resulting in long-term problems such as rural teachers' treatment and social security that have not been fundamentally and effectively solved." Pang stressed that under the background of the national economic restructuring and the transformation and upgrading of development mode, the above problems need to be thoroughly solved.
On this basis, Pang suggested improving the teachers' salary policy and raising the basic salary of rural compulsory education teachers.
"If the basic salary of existing teachers is more than 2,000 yuan, it can be increased by half, that is, 1000 yuan, which can attract and retain rural teachers to a considerable extent." Pang hopes that the relevant state departments will attach great importance to it, make up their minds and do their best to raise the basic salary of rural teachers as soon as possible, so as to effectively attract and stabilize rural teachers.
Secondly, pay close attention to the study and introduction of the "national special post allowance system for compulsory education teachers in hard and remote rural areas". "The more you teach in hard and remote areas, the higher the allowance should be. And the allowance is for the post, not for people. If you have been teaching in rural schools in hard and remote areas, you can always enjoy it. " Pang suggested.
It is reported that the Education Law, the Teachers Law and the Compulsory Education Law all clearly state that the average salary level of teachers should not be lower than or higher than that of national civil servants, and it should be gradually improved in order to ensure the political status and social status of teachers.
"Under the background of governing the country according to law, on the one hand, we should earnestly implement the statutory requirements for the treatment of teachers, earnestly implement the political, economic and social status of teachers, and carry forward and reshape the social atmosphere of respecting teachers and attaching importance to education; On the one hand, we will effectively protect the treatment of teachers and improve their remuneration. " Pang stressed.
