First, after the institutional reform, the status of teachers as cadres has changed, and now they are ordinary employees of public institutions, which is not essentially different from employees of various enterprises.
Second, after teachers retire, it is still financial expenditure, and the pension is less than the on-the-job salary 10%. Now it is all spent by the Social Security Bureau, and the amount of pension is gradually the same as that of enterprise retirees, with no advantages and basic living security. On-the-job salary is low, and after retirement, the salary can only maintain the basic life. Who wants to waste the great youth on campus to coax children? Why not use your youth, energy and strength to earn more pension money!
Third, the economy and society. As a teacher, the salary is low, and there is no money in the world to honor parents. In the middle, I can't make my wife happy or support my children. If you are not respected by the society, you have no position at home, and you can't earn much money when you are young. What should you do at the age of 70 and 80?
Fourth, since employees in enterprises receive the same pension when they are old, if they want to be teachers, they must also go to private schools. Private education has higher salary, better treatment, higher social security, less pressure and less social affairs than public schools. Why should there be a halo made up by a public school, neither raising food nor spending money? ?
"Teacher shortage" mostly occurs in underdeveloped areas, especially in rural primary schools in these areas.
I am the principal of a village-level school in Jiangxi, and rural primary schools are really "iron soldiers". In the years that I have been in charge of this school, teachers have changed one crop after another, new teachers have been assigned, teachers have been leaving, or transferred or resigned, or asked for leave ... Except me, no teacher has been here for more than two years.
In addition to the relatively high mobility of teachers, there is still a big teacher gap in our school. There are six grades in our school (including kindergarten, and the sixth grade has been concentrated in the central school), and eight teachers in six classes are approved. This is not an easy task for every teacher. Due to the "shortage of teachers", there are generally only three or four teachers in our school, and the others have to temporarily hire substitute teachers. Substitute teachers have low salary, uneven quality and no teaching experience, which brings certain difficulties to teaching management.
This will not happen in my small village. All eight villages in our town are small, and the situation in each village is similar. Our teachers here are relatively neat, only the central primary school. Central school leaders give priority to ensuring that central primary schools are adequately staffed. The shortage of rural primary school teachers has become a bottleneck restricting the development of rural education.
Rural primary school teachers "can't come down" and "can't stay" are the reasons for "teacher shortage".
I remember the year before last, our school was assigned three directional normal students for the first time. I was so happy that I thought I could finally stop worrying about hiring substitute teachers everywhere. Unexpectedly, the distribution list came down and I received the notice the next day. Due to the difficult conditions, the two teachers to be assigned decided to give up, preferring to pay liquidated damages (teachers' service period is oriented to five years, and they must pay liquidated damages if they resign less than five years) rather than work in the ravine.
After a semester of persistence, the only remaining orientation student resolutely found a relationship and transferred from our school. There are only a group of substitute teachers left in my school, and the rest are newly assigned teachers, who come and go like water.
Rural conditions are difficult. Although the country has made great efforts to standardize rural campuses in recent years, the conditions for running schools have been greatly improved, but there is still a big gap with towns and urban areas, and the living problems cannot be solved well. The shortage of teachers in rural schools has become the norm in many places.
Summary: What do rural schools use to attract and retain talents? Only by relying on the school itself, even if it is not enough, but also relying on the support of policies, giving more support to teachers in remote rural areas, and further optimizing the conditions for running schools, can we fundamentally solve the "teacher shortage" in rural areas.
I am a retired backbone teacher. I want to talk about my feelings and reasons for leaving the teaching staff.
The objective reasons for choosing to leave are:
1 The teacher's salary is really too low. At that time, I was a senior professional title in primary school and a middle-level cadre in the school. I had endless classes, endless forms and endless activities, and my salary was only over 2,000 yuan. Pay and return don't match at all, and people in other industries can't understand that kind of sadness and fatigue.
2. The teacher's work is really tiring. Regular tasks such as preparing lessons, correcting homework, home visits, and attending classes are not called things. I often have to fill out various forms and check all kinds of materials, which is a headache. Teachers have an interesting name, called "cousin" and "wife". There are too many statistical tables, especially the work of the guidance office. I don't know how I got through it.
There are too many teachers leading. Anyone can be a teacher's leader. As soon as a leader comes to inspect the city, teachers should do a good job of welcoming the inspection and preparing for a general cleaning. To win all kinds of city honors, teachers have to go to the streets to publicize and even pick up garbage and sweep the floor in the street.
It's not that I don't love education, but that the reality is so sad. Teachers have too little autonomy, and many times they are involuntarily, so you can't make different decisions.
Of course, there are also my personal subjective reasons. I got married and went to another city, so I resigned. People who have experienced the post of teacher can get started quickly in such a post, and teachers' unique sense of responsibility will also make teachers widely praised in their new posts.
I hope that the country can really fundamentally improve the treatment of teachers at the grass-roots level, relax the administrative pressure on teachers, let teachers return to their original duties, bid farewell to the label of "cousin" and "wife" and bid farewell to the figure of street cleaning. Only in this way can we retain more talents.
Ren said that China's hope lies in primary education. The hope of education depends on teachers, so please pay more attention to the problems of teachers.
There is an old saying: Man struggles upwards, but water flows downwards. For the profession of teachers, it will never be an exception. Any environment conducive to human development will often move around the environment. A good work unit is not only the salary, but also the humanistic environment. If both can meet people's needs, it will definitely make it impossible for "I can't stay" and "I want to go" to form an atmosphere.
What excites young teachers is not only the school management mechanism itself, but also the gradual decline of social impression and evaluation of teachers' profession, which greatly hurts some people's self-esteem. In particular, the principal's school-running philosophy and parents' attitude towards teachers are likely to make young teachers change their original intentions after their original ideals and reality hit a wall, and leaving may be a last resort after their hopes are dashed.
For the backbone, there is often a place to go. I used to know a few backbone teachers, most of whom went to first-and second-tier cities to develop, where many private schools attract talents with high salaries. The departure of these backbone teachers, in turn, drives colleagues around them to move on in the news, leaving only those who really can't stay.
In this way, some people change careers and some go to better schools. But as for the shortage of teachers, it is not a common phenomenon, but the more developed areas, the less shortage of teachers and the more backward the economy. It seems that the last thing to rely on is salary, because teachers are ordinary people and need to support their families.
I joined the teaching profession on 20 16. I was really excited at that time. I attend classes during the day, correct my homework, go back to prepare lessons at night with teaching AIDS, and lie in bed thinking about how to educate disobedient children who don't like learning. Later, we became more and more busy. Three classes of English, compulsory education developed in a balanced way to meet the national inspection, things could not be done, materials could not be done, and we often worked overtime at night. Later, I checked and felt relieved, so I ushered in the 20 17 year of poverty alleviation for teachers. That's true. I went to the countryside to carry out all kinds of publicity and education, made materials and kept accounts, and changed them countless times. I remember that Teacher's Day that year, we all worked overtime to do all kinds of poverty alleviation materials. In the second half of 20 17, a colleague and I were pregnant and had to go to the countryside to work in the scorching sun with a big belly. March 20 18, discharged three days after giving birth. When I got home, I got a call from the school and asked me to go to the countryside to help the poor. Hehe, I am responsible for everything that goes wrong. I am really speechless. We have four classes in the morning, four classes at noon and four classes in the afternoon. Now we are discussing the paid remedial classes introduced by the state ... I don't want to teach, really don't want to! Last year's target assessment has not yet been issued ... I don't want to engage in education, all kinds of assessments, all kinds of inspections, hey. ...
The young can't stay, and neither can the backbone. This "shortage of teachers" only exists in rural areas and poverty-stricken areas with relatively backward economy. However, there is no shortage of teachers in some cities with higher wages and superior living environment and working conditions. On the contrary, the competition for school teachers in many cities is extremely fierce.
Therefore, this problem is not a common problem in the education field. The reasons for deciding that young teachers can't stay and backbone teachers can be reflected in the following aspects:
The first problem is salary, and the low starting salary is the fundamental reason why young teachers can't attract or even stay.
At present, the starting salary of many economically underdeveloped poverty-stricken areas or just a large number of rural teachers is only about 2500 yuan, and this 2500 yuan can only be received if the junior professional title is set. Many rural teachers who have just joined the work often have to go through a period of one or two years, and their salary is about 1500 yuan.
This starting salary is unacceptable to most young people. With the improvement of people's living standard and consumption level, even people without academic qualifications will get a starting salary of around 3,000 yuan, not to mention qualified young teachers. They never want to go back to the countryside to earn such a meager salary.
The second place is the poor living conditions and working environment of rural teachers, which is one of the important reasons for the "teacher shortage". 1, teaching in rural areas is far from home, and it takes energy to go back and forth every day.
At present, most rural non-boarding schools do not provide dormitories for teachers. Teachers can only drive dozens of miles and go back and forth to school twice a day to teach. In addition, schools go to work early and get off work late, and many people can't stand the pain of getting up early and getting greedy.
2. Rural students are mostly left-behind children, which is difficult to manage, educate and communicate with parents. Third, career promotion is difficult, and teachers can't see bright career prospects.
In recent years, although the country has been calling for senior professional titles to tilt towards rural teachers, many teachers still have no hope of promotion in the face of very few professional titles.
Take the location of xu teacher Xuemei as an example. In the past ten years, there have been no places for intermediate and senior titles in middle schools. More than 200 teachers in towns and villages who have been teaching for more than 20 years have not even been evaluated for intermediate titles, let alone senior titles. This means that even if these teachers retire, they may only be able to evaluate an intermediate title. If township teachers don't recruit a large number of young teachers or increase middle and senior titles, it means that some teachers will retire with intermediate titles.
Such career prospects have made some key teachers lose confidence in sticking to the countryside and choose to leave jobs with higher wages and brighter career prospects.
Fourth, education is becoming more and more market-oriented, some private schools are blooming everywhere, and the prosperity of off-campus remedial classes has given some young teachers and backbone teachers more working space.
Many young teachers, on the one hand, are preparing for the examination of urban teacher establishment, on the other hand, they are teachers in private middle schools or off-campus remedial classes, and they don't delay earning money at all.
Some enterprising backbone teachers also left rural public schools without career development to work in private schools, or simply started extracurricular remedial classes, and their income greatly exceeded the dead wages of township schools.
In addition, a series of reasons, such as the low status of teachers and too many chores in non-teaching tasks undertaken by teachers in schools, are also the reasons for the "shortage of teachers" in economically underdeveloped areas.
In short, with the emergence of some teachers with relatively low salaries in Guangxi and Anhui, people began to worry about the aging of teachers in most rural schools or schools with wage levels.
So how to solve this "teacher shortage" problem?
In fact, as we all know, improving the salary of township teachers and expanding their career prospects will surely attract more outstanding teachers to take root in rural areas and develop rural education.
For example, there is no phenomenon that young teachers can't stay and backbone teachers can't leave in Ningxia. On the contrary, teachers in some cities are eager to teach in rural areas, because Ningxia has implemented good policies that really benefit rural teachers:
On the one hand, the subsidy for rural teachers will be raised to 900 yuan per capita, with a maximum subsidy of 1.08 million yuan; On the other hand, teachers who have been teaching in rural areas for over 15 years and over 25 years are given the treatment of directly evaluating middle and senior titles without any restrictions.
Therefore, the fundamental reason for the "teacher shortage" of rural teachers lies in the treatment. Only by improving the salary of rural teachers and expanding their career prospects can we retain and attract excellent teachers to teach.
Why can't the young stay and the backbone leave? The real reason is that private schools now have high fees and sufficient funds, which has become the driving force for people to go higher and water to flow lower. Their prestigious teaching elites have been poached by private schools. At present, public schools are basically free, but quite a few people try to find ways to help private schools. Their purpose is to receive good teaching resources for future generations. Therefore,
Compared with the crowded teacher qualification examination two days ago, the statement of "teacher shortage" is difficult for many people to understand. There are so many people out there who desperately want to enter this industry, but no one can ask for help. Why is there a shortage of teachers?
One of the reasons for this phenomenon is the establishment problem.
In many places, the staffing is limited. Although the school lacks teachers, it can't recruit people. Because it can't recruit people, it has to use temporary teachers or substitute teachers.
We have a primary school here with more than 30 substitute teachers. Some classes change teachers several times a year, which greatly affects children's study, but there is no place to recruit teachers every year, which makes parents and principals very headache.
Another important reason is that many young teachers quit their jobs, especially in rural primary and secondary schools.
I know a friend who was admitted to a choreographer in a county last year and assigned to a remote rural primary school. I also congratulated him at that time, because editing was really hard.
But this year he resigned and worked as a teacher in a counseling institution in the provincial capital city.
Speaking of reasons, he said, first, the salary is too low, and the number of employees is less than 3,000; The second is that I am too far away from home, separated from my wife, and live a husband-and-wife life on weekends; The third is that I am very busy at work, staring at self-study and class from morning till night, and there is no room for improvement. I feel desperate. I think I should come out and have a rest at such a young age.
This should be the common reason why young people can't stay.
The backbone teachers' "I want to go" makes the teacher structure unbalanced.
In recent years, big cities, famous schools or private schools have greatly improved the treatment of teachers, especially outstanding teachers such as excellent teachers, teaching experts, backbone teachers, academic leaders, provincial and municipal famous teachers, senior teachers, winners of national and provincial excellent courses. The treatment and working conditions offered are very attractive. As the saying goes, giving money, supporting and solving the worries of spouses and children have made many well-known backbone teachers sad.
In the recruitment of primary and secondary school teachers last year and this year, Shenzhen frequently made big moves, and the money thrown out was poured into the arms by hit floor, Peking University Tsinghua and doctors and masters from famous foreign universities. "Teacher shortage" should not exist.
We have a newly-built school here. Last year, outstanding talents were recruited, and a special math teacher came to apply. The school replied that people would turn around and go to coastal cities if they didn't solve the housing and the work and study of their spouses and children.
Xiaoxing's conclusion: policy keeps people, treatment keeps people, and feelings keep people ... Either way, you should let the teacher feel the joy of work and the hope of life. Who wants to run around and start over? Just because I was disappointed to enter this door, I didn't want to leave. Although people who want to come in outside are surging, it is easy to come in and difficult to keep. When a teenager goes through five hurdles and beheads six generals, deusexe is full of dreams and hopes. If he can't let his heart have a place, it's only a matter of time before he leaves. To solve the "shortage of teachers", we must work hard on policies, treatment and working environment!
Is there a shortage of teachers? Young teachers are watching, and backbone teachers have ideas. Normal, normal!
Last year, four young teachers in our town did resign. As far as I know, two of them were admitted to civil servants, one was admitted to the education system of Huaibei City, and the other was admitted to a senior middle school in this county.
Our school is a rural school. No matter the working environment and working conditions, or the salary of teachers, it is not as good as that of urban schools. Young teachers' pursuit of perfection and development prospects should be understandable. They basically decided to resign after they had a good place, and there was nothing unusual.
This has happened before. At that time, two private junior high schools in our county just started to run, and they recruited teachers everywhere with great fanfare. As a result, some rural or urban teachers are more courageous and have applied for jobs. Some teachers who have worked in private schools have revealed that no less than 40% of the teachers are public primary and secondary school teachers. This belongs to whether the staff is on the job or not, which is not allowed by the national policy. This should also be a form of resignation, or more accurately, resignation. Most of them are young teachers or backbone teachers. Under the management mode of private schools, they quickly improved students' academic performance, enhanced the influence of private schools, and improved the enrollment rate of private schools. It is in this way that they brought good private schools and influenced public schools.
Obviously, they violated national policies and regulations. But because of the cover of some people, they were saved.
Why are they willing to take the risk of teaching in private schools? Obviously, it is because private schools are attractive and well paid.
But now they have basically returned to their original work units, because these two schools were changed into public schools when they started school last fall.
Really think about it, it is impossible for any unit not to resign, even civil servants, to resign and go to sea. Therefore, it should be said that it is normal for individual teachers to resign! Most teachers still stick to their posts and work hard day and night. There is no so-called "teacher shortage".
However, it is undeniable that there are still young teachers and backbone teachers who want to resign for various reasons, and they are still trying to find a good place to go. These are normal situations, there is no need to make a fuss!
In my opinion, with the improvement of the policy, the profession of teachers will become more and more fragrant, and everyone will envy teachers and rush to teach.
My old headmaster often tells me, "You will definitely surpass me in the future. Because national development can only get better and better! " One important document after another has been issued: Implementation Plan for Accelerating Education Modernization (20 18 ~ 2022), Education Modernization in China 2035, Opinions on Comprehensively Deepening the Reform of Teaching Staff Construction in the New Period, etc. This shows us the country's determination and will to develop education and revitalize China.
There are indications that there will not only be a "teacher shortage", but also a "teacher fragrance"!
