Aiming at the problem of wage arrears for special post teachers, Qi County, Kaifeng, Henan, is remedying the problem.
The Paper News reporter noticed that on November 19 this year, some netizens left a message on the message board of the leaders of People’s Daily Online: “The special post policy says that the special post teacher’s salary should be the same as that of the local teacher. The implementation is in place. Other counties have paid five social insurances and one housing fund to special post teachers, but Qixian special post did not pay housing provident fund, and there was no performance or heating fee. I hope the leader will help us implement it. Thank you very much! And we have been working since September. I haven't received a penny of salary, let alone the class teacher subsidizing the village subsidies! I hope you can help us solve it as soon as possible, thank you, don't let the special post teachers who are struggling on the front line chill."
On the afternoon of the 19th, the Kaifeng Municipal Party Committee responded to the above message.

According to the "Notice of the People's Government of Henan Province on Approving the Implementation Opinions of the Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security and Other Departments of Henan Compulsory Education Schools' Performance Wages" (Yuzheng [2009] No. 57) and "Qixian Supervision Bureau, Organization Department of the CPC Qixian County Committee Qixian Human Resources and Social Security Bureau Qixian Finance Bureau Qixian Audit Bureau's Notice on Issuing Winter Heating Subsidies for Institutions and Institutions" (Qicai [2017] No. 26) document stipulates that the scope of implementation shall be full-time staff.
Special post teachers do not belong to the regular staff, and are not within the scope of the payment of performance pay and winter heating fees.
Finally, the Kaifeng Municipal Party Committee revealed that the salary of special post teachers is allocated and paid by the central special funds.
The salaries of special post teachers in 2020 will be allocated to Qixian County Finance in December with reference to previous years.
In order to stabilize the mood of newly recruited special post teachers, the Qixian government has self-raised funds to pre-issue the salary of 2020 special post teachers from September to November. The procedures are currently being processed.
The Paper News reporter noticed that this year, many netizens in Henan went to the message board of the leaders of People's Daily to ask about teachers' wages being owed.
For example, in September this year, an in-service teacher from Fugou County, Zhoukou City, Henan Province reported on the message board of People's Daily that the County Finance Bureau owed the teachers’ performance salaries for the first half of 2020, increased salaries from 2014 to 2016, and 2017 to 2020. The 13th month salary of the year.
In this regard, on September 21, the Mayor’s Hotline Acceptance Center of Zhoukou City replied that after investigation and inquiries about the County Finance Bureau and the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, some township and bureau-directed schools have allocated and timely payment of performance wages in the first half of 2020. The rest of the units were unable to allocate the funds in time due to the shortage of county financial funds. The county finance bureau will allocate the funds before the end of September, and the Education and Sports Bureau will promptly urge all units to quickly issue.
"China Youth Review" published a review article in September this year: Not long ago, the phenomenon of teachers' wage arrears in Dafang of Guizhou, Anshan of Liaoning, Huainan of Anhui and other places once caused intensive public attention.
I am afraid there are many similar phenomena across the country, some of which have not been known to the outside world.
No one wants to see the "people's gardener" get into embarrassment after hard work. It is necessary to trace the reasons behind such phenomena and find ways to change the status quo, so as to better protect the rights and treatment of teachers.
