After the pilot, job rotations across the city will begin

　　On July 20, the relevant person in charge of the Beijing Municipal Education Commission introduced that after the autumn semester starts in September this year, all districts in the city will carry out teacher exchange and rotation.

　　In August 2021, Beijing announced that it will promote the exchange and rotation of cadres and teachers in a large area and a large proportion. Dongcheng District and Miyun District are the first two pilot areas; in April this year, Xicheng, Chaoyang, Haidian, Daxing, Yanqing, Mentougou 6 districts also joined it.

　　As soon as the news came out, everyone was generally concerned about whether teachers would rotate across the 16 districts in Beijing.

Referring to the spirit of the previous documents of each district and the pilot situation of job rotation, it is still mainly based on the rotation within each district.

　　"There are about 200 teachers in our school, and there are 10 job rotation indicators this year. We have already found exchange schools, all of which are in several schools near Xicheng District." A teacher in Xicheng District, Beijing told Zhongxin Finance and Economics reporter According to the introduction, if there is a cross-district rotation, the living and life of the rotating teachers will be more troublesome. There is no news of cross-district rotation.

　　At the same time, some people worry about whether some schools will send some young and inexperienced teachers to rotate to "fuck the past".

　　A young teacher in Haidian District, Beijing, who has just been employed for two years, told reporters that his school has received notices of possible job rotations for outstanding teachers such as subject representatives and backbones. Young teachers are not yet involved in the rotation, but it was mentioned at the school assembly, so that everyone should be prepared."

　　According to the introduction of the relevant person in charge of the Beijing Municipal Education Commission in August last year, from the principal level, principals and vice principals who have retired for more than 5 years and have served in the same school for 6 years should communicate in principle; In-service teachers, teachers who have been retired for more than 5 years and have worked in the same school for 6 consecutive years or more, communicate in principle.

How does it affect school district housing?

　　"Equalization of educational resources is actually a solution to the problem of overcrowding of high-quality degrees, which reflects Beijing's drastic reform orientation to the problem of contradictions in school districts." Yan Yuejin, research director of the Think Tank Center of E-House Research Institute, believes that this move is bound to help false education. and cooling the housing market.

　　"It will definitely have an impact on school district housing, but for Xicheng, since the introduction of the '731 policy', the market has gradually become more rational." Xiaojing, a real estate agent in Xicheng District, Beijing, told reporters.

　　The "731 Policy" refers to the new policy of "multi-school zoning" issued by the Xicheng District Education Commission in April 2020. , will no longer be registered in the zoning school, and all enroll in the school district or adjacent school district in a multi-school zoning method.

　　Xicheng has always been located at the top of the housing pyramid in the Beijing school district. The three major districts of "Jindeyue" (Financial Street, Desheng, and Yuetan) have become the spires of the top because of the high-quality schools.

　　"The most impressive thing is that when the '731 policy' was just released, a customer sprinted to buy a set of school district housing in Desheng at a unit price of about 180,000 yuan and wanted to gamble, but was transferred to an adjacent area. In terms of monthly sales, the unit price of similar houses is about 150,000-170,000 yuan, and the prices of houses in top school districts have fallen in the past two years." Xiaojing said.

　　But this has also brought about the problem of "shaving peaks and filling valleys" in school district housing prices.

"Several education reform policies in Xicheng have been implemented very solidly. Many parents who want to gamble on their counterparts have been divided by multiple schools and divided into areas outside the area. This has also brought another atmosphere. Blind boxes have the same probability of winning, and I heard that where the probability of being allocated a small cattle is high, they will buy them together."

　　According to Xiaojing, Desheng, Financial Street and other areas in Xicheng's original "head school districts" have had a relatively large impact; however, some "lower-middle school districts" have ushered in positives, such as Dachuntian School District, Guangwai, and Guangniu. In other areas, housing prices have risen.

　　"But these changes are basically brought about by the multi-school scribing after the '731 policy'. The news of the city's job rotation in Beijing has just been released a few days, and I haven't felt any major changes to the market." Xiaojing said, Recently, the number of listings in the Desheng area has indeed been large, and many people want to make a move, but it is hard to say that it is not worth the price.

"I've heard of a larger drop recently. It was a house of more than 50 square meters, which dropped from 5.98 million yuan to 5.88 million yuan."

　　But it is worth noting that in addition to Beijing, many hot cities such as Shenzhen and Shanghai have also launched or are about to launch a teacher rotation system.

Where the policy baton is pointing, there have also been many school districts where housing prices have plummeted.

　　"For other cities across the country, the teacher rotation system will also be promoted in the second half of this year. This is a very important substantive content in the current education balance reform, and it is a policy point that needs to be actively paid attention to." Yan Yuejin said.
