Chapter 1474: Pride and Happiness (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Yu Danfeng and Zou Kaiqiang went to a school called Acacia Middle School in the morning, and they didn't know where Zou Kaiqiang knew about this school. Starting from the city of Muchuan, I first went to the county seat below, then transferred to the bus, sat for nearly an hour, and walked for more than ten minutes before finally arriving here.
The school is not large, and the conditions are very simple, there is only a two-story teaching building, and all the students and teachers are crammed into this teaching building. As for the real yàn room and reading room, you don't have to think about it. As for the sports facilities, there is not even a table tennis table except for two bare basketball hoops on the playground. However, after learning some basic information about the school, Yu Danfeng found that the conditions of the school were improving. On the opposite side of the school building, across the playground, the foundation is being laid. According to the director of Chapter 1474 Pride and Happiness (Asking for a Monthly Pass), the new teaching building will be completed in half a year, and it will be put into use in the first semester of next year.
This time, Zou Kaiqiang followed Yu Danfeng down, not to interview the school's teaching conditions, but to know the implementation of Muchuan's teacher salary subsidy. Grassroots schools like Acacia Middle School are basically rural children, and the school's teachers, private teachers and substitute teachers must also account for a considerable proportion, and how much salary they can get each month is what they want to know most.
When it comes to teachers' salaries, the principal is proud to introduce that they have been receiving double salaries for several months, and now, the income level of school teachers is relatively high in the whole township and even the county. For grassroots schools, they can actually receive full wages. And they were satisfied. And the government subsidizes the equivalent wages of the state. This made them feel that they were suddenly surrounded by happiness. Now the income is equivalent to three times the original, how can this not make them excited.
Originally, it was difficult for teachers at school to find a partner. Female teachers are better, after all, their salary is not a problem to support themselves. But for male teachers, if they want to find a girlfriend, they must find a 1474 Pride and Happiness (ask for a monthly pass) with a job, otherwise with their meager salary, they will not be able to support a family. But if there is a working woman, how can she marry a teacher? Therefore. Male teachers at school have a hard time finding girlfriends.
Every year, because of this situation, young teachers go out to work, and they go to private schools in coastal areas to teach, and their salaries are much better than those of their families. However, since Kikawa began to implement the teacher salary subsidy policy. All the teachers who were in the field ran back. According to the regulations of the Education Bureau, if a teacher is unable to teach, he or she will be dismissed.
"Do private teachers and substitute teachers also have such treatment?" Yu Danfeng asked, seeing the heartfelt happiness between the principal's eyebrows, she was very emotional. However, she is more concerned about the actual treatment of private teachers and substitute teachers, these two groups of teachers are very special in our country, they are the products of a special period. In actual teaching, they do no less than regular teachers, but their salaries are only one-third of each other's, or even less. And is Kikawa really willing to improve the income of these two groups? Even if you have this idea. Can it be executed below?
"Of course, now there are no private teachers in our school, and soon, the title of substitute teacher will also disappear in our school and even in the whole city." The principal replied smugly, he has taught all his life, and he has been the principal for more than ten years, and he said that the hundred-year plan is education-oriented, but only this year. It was only then that he truly felt that the people's government attached great importance to educational work.
"Why?" Zou Kaiqiang was surprised to say that the more he went to the grassroots level, the larger such a group became, and according to his experience of interviewing in other places, learning like this. Private teachers and substitute teachers will account for about 30 percent. But now the principal has told them that the school has no private teachers. And soon the substitute teachers will disappear from the city, how is this possible.
"This is the above requirement, according to the spirit of the city's relevant text, all private teachers in the city must be converted into regular teachers, as of last month, our school's six private teachers have all been converted to public teachers. This is something they have been looking forward to for more than ten years, but they didn't expect it to come true all of a sudden. To be honest, as soon as this policy came out, my job as a principal was much better. Substitute teachers will also be qualified within five years, which is a mandatory rule, but after not obtaining the qualification of a public teacher, they will also enjoy the treatment of a public teacher, and the salary will be the same every month. The principal said that with the current situation of their school, there is no shortage of teachers at all.
It turned out that the school could not retain teachers, especially young teachers, and within two years of being assigned to the school, they went out to work. And now the teachers in other places want to sharpen their heads and squeeze in. In such a place, you can get double the salary of a regular teacher, which is at least five times the salary of a regular teacher in a coastal area, according to the level of local consumption.
"In other words, private teachers must be compulsorily converted to public teachers, while substitute teachers need to pass the guò assessment before they can be converted to public teachers?" Zou Kaiqiang asked in surprise, of course, such a policy is very popular with these teachers, but will it cause resistance from those public teachers, you must know that they have worked hard to get a staff. But now, those private teachers have almost unconditionally obtained a staff.
"Yes." The principal said disapprovingly. From the perspective of teaching level, private teachers are no worse than public teachers, and there are even many private teachers who are the top teachers in the school.
"Do you think this policy is reasonable?" Zou Kaiqiang asked, as a reporter, he must not mix his own attitudes and thoughts into the interview incident, but now Mu Chuan's policy makes him really a little puzzled. It is undeniable that such a policy is of great benefit to improving the quality of teaching and increasing the sense of community and honor of teachers, but for this reason, the education department and government departments will spend a lot of intangible capital. In particular, the teacher's salary subsidy means that Muchuan will increase his financial expenditure by hundreds of millions every year.
"It should be more in line with the actual situation, at least in our school, all the teachers are cheering for this policy in the city." The principal said that private teachers are a special group, and they pay no less than public teachers, but because there is no establishment, their living standards have always been below the average line.
"Can you see your salary schedule for the past few months?" Zou Kaiqiang asked again, the reason why he chose this school was completely random, and it was not until this morning that he finally decided. He believed that even if Kikawa knew that he was going to come down for an interview, he would not have done his job so well.
"Absolutely." The principal smiled and said that many people were concerned about this salary scale during this time.
Looking at the salary list, Zou Kaiqiang and Yu Danfeng have nothing to say, it should be said that Muchuan's teacher salary subsidy policy is very well implemented. Yu Danfeng knew that the interview task was basically over. Originally, her impression of Kikawa was not very good, but now, her opinion has changed a little. Although Muchuan's urban construction is not as good as other cities, it is incomparable to any other place in terms of people's livelihood. The free bus not only makes it convenient for the people of Muchuan to travel, but more importantly, it gives them a sense of superiority, which is given to them by the Muchuan municipal government, or Zhu Daidong.
And today's interview in Acacia Middle School also made Yu Danfeng feel the pride and happiness of the principal from the heart, he said in the interview that now his work as a principal is much better than before, Yu Danfeng thinks it is right. As a principal, after the salary of teachers in the school has doubled, and all private teachers have been converted to public teachers, the school will inevitably be twisted into a rope from top to bottom. The new school building is under construction, and the housing problem of the teachers will be solved, and the teaching conditions of the school will be greatly improved.
"Headmaster, what's the dropout rate at your school?" Zou Kaiqiang asked suddenly.
"This semester is also a lot lower, it used to be almost four percent, now it is less than one percent." The principal said that this number had always been a problem for him, and that the nine-year compulsory education system was stipulated by the state, but due to the income level of rural families, many families had to spend a lot of money for that tuition, and it was not uncommon for schools to wait until one or two months after the start of school to pay the full tuition fees.
"Why?" Yu Danfeng asked curiously, Zou Kaiqiang's question just now made her a little dissatisfied, where is this interview, it is simply looking for Mu Chuan's question.
"It is also because of the city's low-income household policy implemented this year, and now there are also low-income households in rural areas, and the assessment of low-income households is very objective, as long as it is a low-income family, it can be evaluated." The principal smiled and said that although the low-income households only have 60 yuan per person per month, in the countryside, with this 60 yuan, they can also ensure the most basic life, not to mention eating well, at least they will not go hungry.
And as low-income people, they are either due to physical reasons, or because they have been affected by the disaster, including the serious illness of someone in the family. It is not uncommon for a family to fall back from wealth to poverty because someone suddenly becomes seriously ill. Rural people have a very strong sense of family, and sometimes, they know that it is an incurable disease, but for the sake of that family affection, they still send the patient to the hospital, tighten the belt of the whole family, and even go bankrupt, for the sake of that hope that has long been gone!!
