In recent years, by increasing the policy supply for rural teachers, many places have focused on solving the pain points and difficulties in the construction of the rural teacher team, and effectively "activated" the working status of rural teachers.
A few days ago, six departments including the Ministry of Education, the Organization Department of the Central Committee, the Central Organization Office, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security issued the "Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of Rural Teachers in the New Era", focusing on shortcomings and weaknesses. Measures such as raising wages, improving social status, smoothing career development channels, and strengthening teacher training will create a good growth environment for rural teachers and a better education environment for rural teachers.
"Magpie Bridge Project" allows special post teachers to teach at ease
He Fangfang and his lover Wang Shunxiang are university classmates. In 2013, they passed the special post teacher recruitment exam in Weining County, Guizhou Province, but they were arranged to work in small villages in different towns.
In order to end the remote state, the couple applied to the Weining County Education Bureau, hoping to be transferred to the same elementary school.
"I was very nervous when I went to apply. I don't know if it can be passed. After all, there is a general shortage of teachers in rural areas. I didn't expect the Education Bureau to understand us very much and quickly transferred my spouse to my primary school." Speaking of this past, He Fangfang still sighs with emotion. .
After semester started in September 2013, He Fangfang served as the head teacher of the fourth grade of Xiangshui Primary School in Aga Village, Xinfa Township. “On the final exam results last semester, only a few people in the class passed, and the better ones were only six to seventy points.”
There is no shortcut to teaching and educating people. He Fangfang chooses to take every class down to earth.
In 2016, He Fangfang graduated with three years of children.
In the English test of Xiaoshengchu, there are more than 50 children in the class, with an average score of 85, ranking first in the township.
"I can sink my heart to teach, and I am especially grateful to the Education Bureau for transferring me and my wife to the same school." He Fangfang said that if there were no such adjustments, maybe he would not be so secure in the countryside.
Due to outstanding performance, in September 2016, He Fangfang and Wang Shunxiang were transferred to Xinfa Township Central Primary School to teach at the same time.
Educational poverty alleviation is a fundamental measure to block the intergenerational transmission of poverty.
In order to improve the level of rural compulsory education, Guizhou Province took the lead in including Weining County into the implementation scope of the "Special Post Program", and with the help of the Special Post Teacher Program, it worked hard to make up for the shortcomings of the rural "lacking teachers".
Weining County has issued the "Administrative Measures for Special Post Teachers in Weining Autonomous County", which stipulates that if both spouses are special post teachers and live in separate places, they can be adjusted to a school, a township or an adjacent township school according to the prescribed principles and methods. Teach.
Zhao Jiaguo is also the beneficiary of this educational version of the "Magpie Bridge Project".
Since 2013, Zhao Jiaguo has been working at the ethnic teaching center in Xinfa Township, Weining County, while his lover works at Mezhan Primary School in Yancang Town, Weining County, more than 100 kilometers away.
"We got married in 2014 and had a baby in 2015. My lover has to take care of the children and go to school, which is very hard." Zhao Jiaguo said that sometimes the children are sick and they can't take care of them by their side, and their hearts are particularly contradictory.
In June 2017, Zhao Jiaguo applied to the education department, hoping that he and his wife could be transferred to work together.
The education department approved his application in accordance with relevant regulations.
In August of the same year, Zhao Jiaguo was transferred to Mezhan Primary School in Yancang Town, and ended up living away from his lover for many years.
"When the two are together, they can take good care of their children and do their work well. They are particularly at ease and are more motivated to work." Zhao Jiaguo said.
Inclined job title evaluation and employment, training rural educators
Poverty alleviation begins with aspirations, and poverty alleviation begins with enlightenment.
On the way to a well-off life, the team of rural teachers is the key carrier of "will" and "wisdom".
It is precisely because of such a group of "lamp burners" who have rooted in the countryside, more people can change the trajectory of their own destiny.
The reporter learned that the unstable foundation of rural teachers and the loss of talents are equally worrying.
In some economically underdeveloped areas, the monthly salary gap of 1,000 yuan is enough to shake the hearts of key teachers who have been trained for many years; some rural teachers have been eager to mobilize, "adjusting the suburbs in three years and entering the cities in five years."
In order to allow rural teachers to "remain and have hope", Shandong Province has increased the title tilt for rural teachers in recent years.
Dai Longcheng, deputy director of the Shandong Provincial Department of Education, said that in order to open up the development channel for rural teachers, teachers in rural schools have been teaching for 30 years in the senior level, 20 years in the deputy senior level, and 10 years in the middle level. They are not subject to the restriction of the job structure.
To allow rural teachers to teach with peace of mind, in addition to looking forward to their professional titles, they must also give care to their lives.
On the basis of 30,000 sets of rural teachers' turnover dormitories, Shandong plans to build another 10,000 sets this year and another 30,000 sets of rural teachers' turnover dormitories in three years.
Dai Longcheng said that teachers’ enjoyment of township work subsidies has been fully implemented, and rural teachers will increase their monthly capital by about 400 yuan per capita compared with urban teachers; the implementation of the policy of living allowances for teachers in difficult and remote rural areas, Weishan County and Changdao County’s Lake District rural teachers will issue an additional 600 per month. Yuan, the subsidy for teachers in the hard and remote villages in the mountainous areas is determined by the localities according to actual conditions...
"Unexpectedly, I could become the first group of rural teachers to be promoted to senior titles." Yin Xunqiang, a biology teacher at Shuangquan Junior High School in Changqing District, Jinan, has been teaching in rural areas for 33 years after graduating from university in 1987.
He said that in 2004 he had been promoted to a deputy senior title, "the level of such a title was over at that time."
The current policy dividend allows him to have the title of "Professor". It is not only an encouragement to stick to the three-foot podium in the past, but also a spur to play the role of a senior teacher in the future.
Yin Xunqiang's monthly salary has reached 11,000 yuan.
"With the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy and the implementation of the policy of benefiting teachers, it is believed that more young people will choose to teach in rural schools." Yin Xunqiang said.
"Sunshine Personnel" to promote the rational flow of rural teachers
Tongyu County is located in the western part of Jilin Province. It is concentrated in contiguous poverty-stricken areas at the southern foot of the Greater Xing'an Mountains. It was once a national key county for poverty alleviation.
Like many economically underdeveloped counties, how to retain rural teachers and promote the balance of urban and rural education has become a headache for local education departments.
By implementing the "Sunshine Personnel" plan, the county effectively solved this problem.
According to Xu Zhi, director of the Teacher Work Division of the Education Department of Jilin Province, the so-called "sunshine personnel" is to promote the orderly flow of urban and rural outstanding teachers and encourage the growth of young teachers through open positions, sunny job selection, and qualitative scoring.
Hao Lichao was one of the first special post teachers in Tongyu County in 2009. He graduated from Changchun Guanghua College and was assigned to work at Xianghai School in Xianghai Mongolian Township, Tongyu County.
After the child was born, in order to take care of the family, Hao Lichao was more and more eager to return to work in the county.
In 2013, she learned that the county has related policies. After the service period expires, teachers who meet the job needs and conditions in the county can sign up.
"Someone advised me to go to the city to find someone to spend money. I don't know anyone, so I signed up with the mentality of a try." Hao Lichao recalled.
After she submitted her personal materials, she ranked first according to the assessment ranking of the year, which was in line with the county's transfer policy, so she was transferred to Tongyu County Experimental Primary School as a language teacher.
"Sunshine Personnel" allows rural teachers to "sunshine into the city".
In Tongyu County, all rural teachers who have worked for more than five years can be transferred.
It is worth mentioning that the policy was relaxed, but the flow of teachers did not "blow out."
In fact, as the gap between urban and rural areas gradually narrowed, a considerable number of rural teachers chose to "stay behind."
Hua Yang, a teacher at Sugongtuo School in Tongyu County, graduated from Baicheng Teachers College in 2009.
When I first checked in at the school, I found that Sugongtuo School was still a brick bungalow and the school building was dilapidated.
The school is more than 20 kilometers away from the county seat. Commuting to work every day is unrealistic. It is very inconvenient to rent nearby houses.
Hua Yang also retreated, thinking that he didn't want to go to the countryside when he wanted to be admitted to college, but he returned to the countryside.
But as the first local special post teachers and the first university student teacher in the school at that time, the principal tried his best to keep her.
So she set a deadline for herself and returned to work in the county after the service period expired.
In 2010, the school building of Su Gongtuo School was rebuilt, the brick cottage was demolished, the junior high school and the elementary school were merged into a nine-year uniform school, and a teaching building was built together.
The school has also built dormitories and canteens for students and teachers.
Huayang has a separate dormitory for teachers and eats in the school cafeteria every day, making life much more convenient and teaching more at ease.
This year, she became the head teacher and the bishop of mathematics.
Lv Jialei, a fifth-grade student of Su Gongtuo Primary School, remembers that it was the first time he listened to Hua Yang's math class, "It is novel and fun, and the class is like playing games. It turns out that the math class is still so interesting."
In 2012, when he took over the fifth grade mathematics for the first time, Hua Yang was surprised to find that the average score of the whole class was only 60 points.
When it comes to mathematics, students all cries of headaches.
She used her spare time to teach mathematics to students for free, using the latest mathematics teaching methods in the university, and taking the students to "play" with mathematics.
"When the children don't know how big a square meter is, I let the children stand on a one-square-meter floor tile and feel the area." Hua Yang said, which made the boring classroom alive.
After half a year, the average mathematics score of the whole class has increased to more than 90 points.
With the continuous investment in rural education, in 2015, rural schools also had electronic whiteboards.
Hua Yang is young and easy to accept new things. She was the first to use electronic whiteboards in school and taught other teachers to use them.
Later, the electronic whiteboard has realized class-to-class communication, and the hardware of rural schools is not worse than that of county towns.
In 2018, Huayang was selected into the rural outstanding young teacher training award program sponsored by the Teacher Work Department of the Ministry of Education.
With full of practical experience in grassroots education, Huayang walked out of the village and went to Baicheng and Changchun for training and exchange.
"I learned the latest teaching methods and class management concepts." Hua Yang said, hoping to have more training programs to broaden my horizons and overcome job burnout.
After 11 years of work, she no longer wants to return to the county seat.
Not only because of the improvement of rural school hardware, but also because of the original intention of education.
"The children here need me more and can realize my life value more." Hua Yang said confidently.
