At present, what is the scale of China's teachers, what kind of treatment and guarantee local teachers enjoy, how rural teachers can "go down, stay and teach well", and what are the shortcomings in the construction of teachers... On October 21, Huai Jinpeng, Minister of education, made a report on the construction of teachers and the implementation of the teachers law at the 31st meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress, Respond to the above questions one by one. The number of full-time teachers has exceeded 17 million Yu Yi, Wei Xinghua, Gao Mingxuan, the "people's educator", Zhang Guimei, the winner of the "July 1st Medal", Li Baoguo, Huang Danian, Zhong Yang, Chen Liqun, the model of the times... A typical figure of excellent teachers has written the sacred mission of teaching and educating people with sweat and blood. "China has built and improved a teacher honor recognition system represented by people's educators, models of the times, national models of teaching and educating people, national model teachers and national excellent teachers." Huai Jinpeng said that these major national teachers have given full play to the leading and exemplary role of excellent teachers. The report shows that at present, the scale of China's teachers is expanding, and the total number of full-time teachers has increased from 10.9789 million in 1993 to 17.9297 million in 2020, an increase of 63.31%. The report also mentioned that in terms of the allocation of preschool education teachers, by 2020, there were 5.198 million kindergarten teachers and workers, an increase of 2.708 million over 2012. By 2020, there were 66200 special education teachers in China, an increase of 22400 over 2012. In terms of teachers' educational level, the educational level of teachers in China has been continuously improved. The proportion of kindergarten teachers with college degree or above has increased from 2.8% to 85.75%, the proportion of primary school teachers with bachelor degree or above has increased from 0.18% to 66%, the proportion of high school teachers with graduate degree has increased from less than 1% to 11.47%, and the proportion of teachers with doctoral degree in Colleges and universities has increased from 1.70% to 27.75%. 90% of the normal students at the Ministry's public expense go to teach in the central and western provinces after graduation In recent years, the phenomenon of "teacher fever" and "teacher fever" has attracted much attention. It has become the life direction of many normal school graduates to take root in the three foot podium, devote themselves to teaching and educating people, and be a people's teacher where the motherland needs it most. In July this year, the Ministry of education and other nine departments issued the targeted training plan for outstanding teachers in underdeveloped areas in central and Western China. Since 2021, normal universities directly under the Ministry of education and local normal universities have adopted a targeted approach to 832 poverty relief counties every year (formerly concentrated in contiguous poverty-stricken areas and counties and national key counties for poverty alleviation and development) And primary and secondary schools in land border counties in the central and western regions train about 10000 normal students. "We have continuously promoted the reform of teacher education, formed an open and flexible teacher training pattern dominated by normal universities and participated by comprehensive universities, and realized the leap from the three-level normal system of 'undergraduate, junior college and secondary normal school' to the three-level normal system of 'graduate, undergraduate and junior college'." Huai Jinpeng said. The report shows that there are 696 colleges and universities offering teacher education in China, with 2615800 normal students. Since 2007, free education for normal students has been implemented in normal universities directly under the Ministry of Education (changed to free education for normal students in 2018). A total of 123000 free normal students have been enrolled, and 90% of graduates teach in central and western provinces. The report also mentioned that 28 provinces across the country implement public education for local normal students, and more than 40000 college graduates teach in primary and secondary schools in rural areas every year. Train rural teachers who can "go down, stay and teach well" Ye Lianping, a rural teacher in jiuxun, he County, Anhui Province, took root in the three foot podium and cared for the left behind children. In order to fund poor students, he lived and lived forever; Sun Ying, an urban girl, gave up her enviable job in Shenzhen and went alone to support teaching in remote mountainous areas of Guizhou. She became "Miss Sun who can't get rid of"; Zhi Yueying, a rural teacher rooted in the mountains in Yichun, Jiangxi Province, has been teaching for more than 40 years, sending more than 1000 children from poor mountainous areas out of the mountains, and her braids have changed from black to white Education plays a basic and leading role in the Rural Revitalization Strategy. How to cultivate rural teachers who can "go down, stay and teach well" has become one of the key problems to improve the level of rural education. Huai Jinpeng said that at present, China has strengthened the staffing of rural teachers and vigorously implemented the "special post plan", which has accumulated 1.03 million additional teachers for rural schools in the central and western regions, covering 22 provinces, more than 1000 counties and more than 30000 schools in the central and western regions. The report shows that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it has successively implemented a series of education support plans, such as the "three districts" talent plan for teachers, 10000 teachers in Tibet and Xinjiang, silver age lectures in primary and secondary schools, silver age teachers in Colleges and universities in the West, and has sent more than 170000 teachers to the "three districts" counties to support education, and 10000 teachers in Tibet and Xinjiang, Nearly 10000 excellent retired teachers were recruited to give lectures in rural primary and secondary schools and colleges and universities in Western China. "We will promote the evaluation and employment of professional titles to favor rural teachers and expand the career development channels of rural teachers." Huai Jinpeng pointed out that we will vigorously improve the ability and quality of rural teachers. The "national training plan" focuses on supporting the central and western regions to strengthen the training of rural teachers and provide high-quality learning opportunities for rural teachers. In terms of improving the treatment of rural teachers and enhancing their sense of professional honor, the report mentioned that teachers should really become the most respected and enviable profession in the society. The living subsidy policy for rural teachers covers 725 counties in previously contiguous poverty-stricken areas in 22 provinces in central and Western China, benefiting 80000 rural schools and 1298000 teachers. Strengthen the construction of teachers and speed up the revision of teachers' law There are some problems in the ideological and political construction of college teachers; Primary and secondary school teachers take part-time jobs outside the school in violation of regulations, make-up classes with compensation, corporal punishment of students, child abuse by kindergarten teachers and other problems still occur from time to time; Local normal universities have obvious deficiencies in discipline construction and teacher strength... The report mentioned that there are still some problems in the construction of teacher team and the implementation of Teacher Law. Huai Jinpeng said that we should make every effort to strengthen the construction of teachers' team from the aspects of Comprehensively Strengthening the construction of teachers' ideology, politics and ethics, striving to build a high-quality teacher development system, making every effort to build a high-level professional teacher team, focusing on solving the bottleneck problems of teacher team construction, and continuously promoting the comprehensive reform of teacher team construction. When talking about the progress and plan of the revision of the teachers' law, Huai Jinpeng said that he accelerated the revision of the teachers' law, carried out special research, formed the draft proposal for the revision of the teachers' law, widely listened to the opinions of schools at all levels, experts in relevant fields, central departments and local education administrative departments, and formed the revised draft after careful research and repeated revision. "In the next step, we will speed up the work process in accordance with the law revision procedures, further improve the revised draft and submit it to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress for deliberation as soon as possible," Huai Jinpeng said.
