In principle, associate professors not only have the ability to start classes, but also have a full understanding of the overall situation of the subject, can preside over research projects by themselves, and can constantly open the latest research into new courses in the form of academic discussions. Professors are the main body in universities, and the leadership work in universities is undertaken by professors. Generally speaking, a university lecturer is the only way to become a university professor. Teaching, scientific research, counseling students, accumulating teaching experience and exploring academic opinions in their work, and finally growing into a university professor.
After the reform, the salary system of university lecturers has been improved. Some universities have introduced a "three-structure salary system", which regards post, qualification and performance as the three major elements of teachers' salary, subdivides teachers' posts into three categories: teaching and research, teaching and research, and encourages young lecturers to go to the podium more and encourages senior professors to go to the podium in salary design.
This unique salary distribution scheme has changed the defect that the post allowance system did not reward the basic teaching work in the past, defined the basic teaching workload that teachers must complete, embodied the characteristics of paying equal attention to teaching and scientific research, and took into account teachers' work interests and work focus. At the same time, the new system strengthens the post responsibilities, increases the performance rewards for outstanding teachers who have exceeded the workload, and helps to overcome the egalitarian tendency in the post salary distribution of the original system.
