Does the status of teachers have much to do with the improvement of national education?
It has a great relationship, mainly for the following reasons.

First, better positions can attract outstanding talents. We all know that all walks of life must have cutting-edge talents if they want to develop well. The same is true of the education industry. If we want to improve the education level of our country, we must attract outstanding talents to engage in education. The status of teachers is the main factor to attract outstanding talents.

Now the status of teachers in our country is in a very embarrassing situation. Although both the media and the government advocate respecting teachers and attaching importance to education, real teachers have not been recognized by the public. The salary is less than that of civil servants, and the welfare is not as high as that of public institutions. The most important thing is that too many people over-sanctify teachers. Giving people so little money to behave like saints is not conventional in itself. Therefore, whoever has the ability, either goes to a private enterprise or a foreign enterprise, and those who really stay in the teaching position are those who are too high to be low and helpless.

Only by truly improving the status of teachers can we attract more outstanding talents. The simplest example is that the academic qualifications and quality of primary and secondary school teachers are generally inferior to those of university professors. The reason is that university professors are not only well paid, but also very free and respected, while primary and secondary school teachers do not have this treatment. If you are a recent college graduate, you will definitely choose to teach in a university.

Second, only by improving the social status of teachers can we form a real atmosphere of respecting teachers and attaching importance to teaching. Everyone knows that education level is very important to the development of a country, but few people really do practical things. For example, when it comes to graduation, freshmen first think of going to state-owned enterprises and foreign companies, and finally take the civil service exam. Few students want to be teachers. In all kinds of class reunions and social occasions, people will look up to big bosses and public officials, but they will sneer at those who are teachers.

With such social status, how can society really attach importance to education? Therefore, without improving the status of teachers, it will never be possible to improve China's education.
