On the list, the positions of primary school Chinese teachers are divided into male-recruited primary school Chinese and female-recruited primary school Chinese, with 50% in the same position and 50% in different genders. On the publicity list, most of the boys to be recruited are undergraduates from Lingnan Normal University, City College of Dongguan University of Technology, Science and Technology College of Gannan Normal University and Zhaoqing College. Most of the girls to be recruited are graduate students from Nanjing University, Sichuan University, Jilin University and other institutions, and their undergraduate degrees are also concentrated in famous universities such as Nanjing University, Beijing Normal University, Sun Yat-sen University and Xiamen University. There are obvious differences between men and women in the same position in academic qualifications and school background, and many netizens said it was "unfair".

Xiaoji, the party on the list, told Red Star News that this is the public recruitment list of public primary and secondary school teachers in 2020 by Xiangzhou District Education Bureau of Zhuhai. At the beginning of its release in August 2020, it caused controversy, and there was a "noisy round" in the recruitment group and online platform. Nevertheless, 50% men and 50% women will be recruited for relevant positions in 20021and 2022, and the differences in educational background and school background still exist. "What has changed is that the follow-up publicity no longer has an academic background." Xiaoji said that the current controversy in Weibo is only that old things have been rediscovered. As of press time, Weibo, which has attracted hundreds of thousands of praises, has been deleted.
165438+1October16th, Red Star journalists called the local education bureau, and the staff responded: "We set the gender balance for the sake of fairness between men and women. If the scores of boys in the exam are different, that's not what we want. "
In this regard, Xiong Bingqi, president of 2 1 Century Education Research Institute, told Red Star News that academic qualifications are not the standard for recruiting teachers, and the comprehensive ability should be assessed on this basis when the candidates meet the basic academic qualifications. The imbalance between male and female teachers is also an international problem. To improve teachers' gender structure, we should strive to improve teachers' professional attractiveness.
The gap between the educational background of the employed male and female teachers and the schools is questioned as unfair.
Local Education Bureau: The goal of setting up a 50/50 gender division is to achieve fairness.
The information about the open recruitment of primary and secondary school teachers from Xiangzhou District Education Bureau of Zhuhai City includes not only the list of candidates with academic background, but also interview results and comprehensive results. When Red Star journalists inquired about official website, they found that the interview results of 202 1 were obviously different between different genders. Taking 202 1 primary school Chinese teacher position as an example, the interview scores of 1 1 boys who were shortlisted for physical examination ranged from 70.8 to 77, while the interview scores of 1 1 girls who were shortlisted for physical examination ranged from 85.6 to 92, that is, the highest score of boys in the same position was 8.6 lower than the lowest score of girls.

"The recruitment of that year was divided into two links. The first round is the preliminary screening of resumes, and the second round is the online interview of leaders. After the interview, set the interview according to the ratio of 1: 2. As for girls, I remember that tens of thousands of people applied for the exam. Speaking of resumes, girls are basically undergraduates or masters in 2 1 1 schools. " Xiaoji recalled, "We all discussed the list after seeing it, but there was nothing we could do. Because we girls were separated from boys when we first started recruiting, we only knew the internal situation. " Xiaoji told the reporter of Red Star News.
Xiaoji told the reporter of Red Star News that the differences in academic qualifications and school background on the list have caused complaints from the local education bureau. In this regard, the staff of the Education Bureau has responded. "Two years ago, some people complained about this question, and their answer was to keep a gender balance when recruiting boys and girls." Xiaoji said.
165438+1October16th, the reporter of Red Star called the local education bureau, and a staff member responded: "We set the gender ratio at 50/50 only for the sake of fairness between men and women. It is not our will to say that boys have different grades and different schools. "
Why are there obvious gender differences in the proposed recruitment list? The staff of Xiangzhou District Education Bureau in Zhuhai said: "I think this is a social problem. Why can't boys take the exam now, including when they take the civil service exam? I think society should strive to improve the overall quality and level of boys. "
The staff member said that after the list attracted attention on social media, the local education bureau received complaints again. "We recently received a complaint. The complainant thinks that our post setting for men and women is very fair, and does not recognize the views of gender discrimination and gender opposition on social media. Seeing these statements on social media now, the complainant asked us to intervene. We have also noticed these situations, but we can only say that when we were founded, we were either male or female, and we never discriminated against boys or girls. We are equal. " The staff member said.
Expert: Improve the gender structure of teachers.
Efforts should be made to improve teachers' professional attraction.
2 1 Xiong Bingqi, president of the Century Education Research Institute, told Red Star that it is nothing new that gender-specific admission causes the difference in scores between men and women.
Red Star News reporter found that in May of 20021year, teachers in Changsha High-tech Zone were recruited by gender for the same position, and some candidates only got 4 points before entering the second interview, which triggered a heated discussion. According to Zhengguan News, official website of Changsha Education Bureau showed that in the "Changsha High-tech Zone 202 1 Open Recruitment of Teachers' Posts and Requirements Form" released on April 22nd, the recruitment units in the same school are divided into men and women. The staff member said that the reason why men and women are recruited separately in the same position is that the proportion of male and female teachers in primary education is seriously out of balance, and some students are not masculine enough. Increasing the proportion of male teachers will help to improve this situation. In addition, the staff stressed that after the written test, there will be layers of links such as trial teaching to check. If the trial teaching does not exceed 80 points, you will not be able to enter the next selection link.
"In the case that most of the applicants are women and there are few men, if men and women recruit together, the written test may brush all the men off. More than 90% of teachers who may eventually enter primary schools, junior high schools and high schools are women, and the management and teaching of the school will be affected. " Xiong Bingqi told the Red Star journalist.
Xiong Bingqi believes that education and school background are not the criteria for recruiting teachers. When candidates meet the requirements of basic education, their comprehensive ability should be evaluated on this basis. "The practice of recruiting by gender is controversial. Some netizens will question that such recruitment is unfair. Schools are more aware of their recruitment, which is actually a very helpless practice. If you can recruit male teachers without gender recruitment, why should you recruit by gender? "
So, in order to balance the ratio of male to female teachers, is it wise to enroll students by sex? Xiong Bingqi believes that the imbalance between male and female teachers is also an international problem. To curb the further imbalance of teachers' gender ratio and improve teachers' gender structure, we should strive to improve teachers' professional attractiveness. In addition to salary, there are also factors that affect the choice of teachers' career by outstanding talents, such as working environment, work pressure, career stability, career development space and so on. Relatively speaking, the stability of teachers' profession is more attractive to women, but the requirements for men are not so high. To improve teachers' professional attraction, it is necessary to further stimulate the vitality of running schools, implement teachers' autonomy in education and teaching, and create a development environment for teachers to realize their educational ideals.
