Chapter Twenty-Seven: Liu Yi's Difficulty
It's the beginning of the school season again, and in the blink of an eye, it's been a month since Liu Yi went to S City as the director of the Education Bureau. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is a shortage of teachers in S City, and junior high schools and high schools are fine, but there is a great shortage of primary schools. Even the number of teachers in the primary schools directly under the city cannot be guaranteed. Each primary school has to recruit half of the substitute teachers to ensure that the class work is arranged.
Seeing that the start of school is imminent, the principals of primary schools have reported to the bureau that they can't even recruit substitute teachers, that there is a shortage of teachers in every school, and that teachers in Chinese, mathematics, and English cannot be guaranteed. The most difficult thing is a primary school directly under the city in the western suburbs of S City, where there are not enough classrooms, so a prefabricated room is temporarily built as a classroom. The five English teachers are all newly recruited substitute teachers who have just graduated from university, and even so, there are still two classes of English classes that cannot be arranged.
Of course, Kong Ling is well aware of the education situation of the primary school in S City, her school is still a school with relatively better conditions in all aspects, and it is impossible to open the whole curriculum, music, art, and physical education classes are all led by the teacher of language, mathematics and English, with an average of 1.8 teachers for a class of about 60 people. Kong Ling even feels that the current educational facilities and conditions are not as good as when she was in primary school, when she was in primary school, there were full-time music teachers to teach them, and now the children are so pitiful that they can only speak at the level of elementary school. How tragic is the education in S City!
Graduates on the streets are unable to find jobs, and the difficulty of the teacher entrance examination is even more difficult than the college entrance examination 30 years ago, and only more than 200 people can be admitted to the teacher entrance examination of 8,900 people.
When Liu Yi asked about the status of teachers in their school in the message he sent to Kong Ling, Kong Ling truthfully reported that she was sincerely worried about the education and teaching situation of the primary school in S City. While Liu Yi is sad about the current situation of education, he is also powerless to change it for a while, because everything is related to the economic situation. One more teacher will have an additional burden on the finances of S City, so no matter how short of teachers is, the Education Bureau has to limit the number of teachers. As a result, the Education Bureau allows schools to recruit their own substitute teachers, with low salaries and onerous workloads.
The reason why substitute teachers in many schools do not like low salaries is that in order to obtain more income, they directly run cram schools and require all students in their classes to participate, and the income they get far exceeds the income of in-service teachers. In-service teachers are not allowed to run cram schools, and of course, there are also some in-service teachers who are obsessed with money and have secretly run cram schools, which have been found by the inspectors of the Education Bureau, and many have been criticized throughout the city.
The educational chaos in S City does not stop here, but also the flow of teachers between urban areas and towns, without any formalities, as long as you say hello to the principals of both sides, it will be considered a successful transfer......
Liu Yi took over the post of director of the education bureau of S City, and the pressure was huge, while the education situation of L City was second to none in the country. The shortage of teachers has seriously affected the improvement of the quality of education and teaching in S City, and the shortage of teacher capital, coupled with the release of the second child, many teachers are pregnant and have children, and they cannot carry out normal teaching work, which is also one of the reasons for the shortage of teachers.
Is it a mistake for him to choose to return to work in S City? A lot of problems swirled in his head, and he felt like his head was big. He wants to come back and contribute to the city of S, and the current state of education in the city of S:
The original words of the principal of a primary school in S City: "Now as long as there is a teacher qualification certificate, we treat them as treasures." ”
"Many rural primary schools are generally equipped with only seven teachers, one of whom is the principal and the other six are the class teachers.
"Because of the tight staffing, the workload of rural schools is large, and many teachers are recruited as professional teachers of music and physical arts, but because of the lack of people, they have to teach everything."
Due to the high work pressure of teachers and the many occupational diseases, the health status of teachers is shocking. Confirmed by the medical appraisal unit at or above the county level, 161 teachers of the four major diseases (cancer, uremia, mental illness, and severe infectious diseases) in S City are listed as on long-term sick leave (more than half a year). In addition, about 110 people take short-term sick leave (including maternity leave) every year.
Although the number of staff has been reduced due to various reasons, it is relatively difficult to replenish teachers.
"Due to the low salary of teachers, it is difficult for outstanding talents to be selected into the teaching team, and some on-the-job teachers are not at ease enough, and many young teachers are under greater pressure to start a family."
The principal of a middle school: "For three consecutive years, we have not recruited biology and geography teachers, so we simply gave up this year. It is difficult to recruit people in biology, chemistry, and physics in science, and history, geography, and politics in liberal arts, and there are only twenty or thirty graduates in each school each year, and they have long been sold out. ”
Another problem that managers cannot avoid, that is, there are more new teachers and non-teacher graduates.
"More than half of the new teachers in our school are graduates of non-teaching majors."
"Because these non-teacher teachers have not received formal teacher training, some of them are worrying about their ability to teach and teach. Some teachers simply don't know how to prepare for lessons, how to conduct classes, and how to train new teachers has become a big issue. ”
