The words such as the annual salary of 1.2 million and the recruitment of teachers appear on social media to give people a visual impact.
Recently, Yiwu Education Development Co., Ltd. issued a recruitment announcement stating that it will openly select outstanding teachers across the country, and the salary package can reach up to 1.2 million yuan per year. It is understood that the candidates for positions with an annual salary of 1.2 million are experts enjoying special allowances from the State Council, winners of the first prize of national quality courses, provincial meritorious teachers, provincial special-grade teachers, etc. The relevant person in charge of the company said that it is the third year that they are recruiting with high salaries, and it is not convenient to disclose the specific recruitment situation this year.
Highly paid teachers are hired. Such news has repeatedly appeared in the public eye in recent years. In order to improve the quality of education, all localities have laid down a “blood fund” in recruiting education talents.
Not only in Yiwu, but Hainan Province started the “Good Principals and Good Teachers” introduction project in 2015, recruiting principal teachers from all over the country, from high school principals to special-grade teachers, high subsidies will be given to those who are outstanding in the assessment; Guangxi Beihai recruits high school names from all over the country The annual salary of principals can reach 1.5 million; in 2019, Shunde District, Foshan, Guangdong, Jiangbei New District, Nanjing, Jiangsu, and other places openly recruit principals from all over the country, and the highest settlement subsidy can reach millions of yuan; in 2020, Shenzhen Guangming District, Qingdao West Coast New District, etc. Favorable conditions are offered to select famous principals and teachers across the country.
Yiwu, a world-famous “world supermarket”, is experiencing rapid economic development. Such high salaries in cities attract high-end education talents and contribute to the education of the next generation, in order to “regenerate” local educational resources and to accumulate educational power for the next development of the city. Bringing out real money to recruit talents reflects people’s desire for excellent teachers, Pay attention to high-quality educational resources.
Of course, the salary level is only one aspect of attracting high-end education talents. The joining of excellent education talents and the actual improvement of education level cannot be simply equated. Retaining high-end education talents must meet the inherent expectations of equal treatment for excellent teachers. It requires the recognition of teaching concepts, the consistency of development goals, and supporting software and hardware environments.
Recruiting teachers with an annual salary of 1.2 million. After the excitement, there should be cold thinking. The income status of teachers has always been a social issue that has attracted much attention. Some people may worry about whether the high salaries in economically developed cities attract teachers, will it cause the loss of outstanding teachers in economically underdeveloped areas, thereby further expanding educational unfairness and forming the Matthew effect. From the news in recent years, it can be seen that such hidden worries are not unfounded, but have a certain realistic basis. In the past, the phenomenon of “peacocks flying southeast” in the teaching industry has also appeared.
The flow of teacher talents under favorable conditions is a normal flow of human resources in the market, and high-paying employment is a reasonable market competition. To solve the difficulties faced by teachers in salary and salary, the hands of the market have indeed played some role. What should really be considered is the social recognition of teachers’ value and how to make teachers get the reward and respect they deserve.
This not only requires competitive remuneration to attract more outstanding talents to join the education team, but also requires attention to the profession of teachers in terms of policies and financial expenditures. 2021 countryThe government work report of the State Council pointed out: “Promote the high-quality and balanced development of compulsory education and the integration of urban and rural areas, accelerate the filling of shortcomings in rural school conditions, improve the long-term mechanism of teacher salary guarantee, and improve the treatment of rural teachers.”
The German philosopher Jasper once compared education to “a cloud drives another cloud, a tree shakes another tree, and one soul awakens another soul.” The quality of teachers plays an important role in improving the level of education, and high-quality teachers are a scarce educational resource. Respecting teachers and teaching should show the courage and sincerity that they deserve, and a high salary is only the first step.
