China News Service, September 23. In response to the issue of "how to guarantee the wages of teachers in especially poor areas, ensure that teachers’ wages are paid on time, and that education funds are not misappropriated", the Vice Minister of Education Zheng Fuzhi pointed out on the 23rd that the Office of the State Council’s Educational Steering Committee When formulating the annual plan, the first task is to supervise the implementation of teacher salaries, and the first key task is to begin supervision.

Two documents were issued before and after, and three dispatch meetings were held. Recently, several groups have been divided into weak places and provinces with large gaps to conduct on-site inspections to ensure that this work can finally be implemented.

  On the 23rd, the State Council Information Office held a press conference. Some reporters asked questions. At the beginning of September, the State Council’s Inspection Office notified the incident of arrears of teachers’ wages and embezzlement of special education funds in Dafang County, Guizhou Province. How to prevent such incidents from recurring and how to protect them. Salaries for teachers in poverty-stricken areas are guaranteed to be paid on time, and education funds are not misappropriated.

  “In the compulsory education stage, it is necessary to ensure that teachers’ salaries are not lower than or even higher than civil servants’ salaries. This is stipulated by the Education Law and is a statutory requirement.” Zheng Fuzhi pointed out that the leaders of the Central and State Council are highly concerned about the issue of guaranteeing the treatment of teachers. Attaches great importance to it and instructs relevant departments to resolve and implement them within three years. The so-called three years are 2018, 2019, and 2020, which means that the legal requirements and the spirit of the central government must be implemented before the end of 2020.

This is a very important livelihood project, involving nearly tens of millions of teachers.

  According to Zheng Fuzhi, in Dafang County, Guizhou Province, the wages of teachers are not yet well balanced in some places, in some places it is very good, and in some places, especially in some provinces, cities and counties, the gap is still relatively large.

"How does this matter really put it in place?" Zheng Fuzhi said, not only must it be put in place now, but more importantly, it must be put in place in the long run, so this mechanism is very, very important.

  Zheng Fuzhi pointed out that the Office of the Educational Supervision Committee of the State Council has been asked to supervise the implementation of teacher salaries as the first task and the first key task when formulating the annual plan.

Therefore, two documents were issued before and after, and three dispatching meetings were held. Recently, several groups have been divided into weak places and provinces with large gaps to conduct on-site inspections to ensure that this work can finally be implemented.

  Zheng Fuzhi emphasized that in the long run, the key is the investment guarantee mechanism.

The Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Finance must jointly establish a financial system and mechanism to ensure that teachers’ salaries are in place in the long run.

The first is to include all teacher salaries in the budget and implement them according to the budget.

Second, when making budgets, we must ensure that teachers and civil servants are treated equally. In other words, our main inspections this time are two aspects. One aspect is the problem of teachers’ wages, which must be made up.

The second is that the basic salary is not owed. What is it that is owed?

The bonus is for civil servants but not for teachers.

Therefore, to solve the problem of equal treatment, when making a budget, the amount of civil servants and teachers should also be issued in strict accordance with the legal requirements, not less than, but equal.

  "This may be the most important system. To make a fuss about the budget, to do a good job of the budget, it is necessary to monitor the implementation of the budget. In the future, it may be necessary to increase publicity, exposure, supervision and inspection. Whether it can be implemented in place, there must be a strong monitoring and guarantee mechanism and implementation mechanism in the follow-up. Only in this way can it not vary from time to person to person to place, but to persevere for a long time." Zheng Fuzhi Say.
