Xinhua County Turnover Of Teachers, The Status Of The Investigation And Thinking

To develop rural education is of vital importance to the wholedeveloping process of the nation's education, to the overall enhancementpeople's quality, to the development of the Socialist Rural Construction.The key of rural education is to own a group of high-qualified teachers,the major element in education. With the establishment of socialistmarket economic system, the enforcement of Teachers Law, thecontinuous pursuing of teachers' employment system and teachers'qualification certificate, the teachers' flowing in primary and middleschools has become a common phenomenon with the law insurance andthe guiding of national policies as its background. Teachers, as a part ofsocial talents, take part in the flowing. But due to the imperfection ofsocialist market economy system and the law of talent flowing, theteachers' flowing presents a state of disorder and unreason, which affectsthe development of rural education and the distribution of educationalresources.Taking the present situation of rural teachers' flowing in XinhuaCounty for example, via questionnaires, interviewing and analyzingrelated statistics, the thesis discovers the flowing of rural teachers inXinhua presents the following tendency: 1. the main body of the flowingis the middle-aged and young teachers and the teachers with higheducation background and high professional title; 2. the flow-in teachersare mostly the educates from the universities and the flow-out ones arethe high-qualified, most of whom are transferred, or go to get theirpostgraduate study, or resign. The number of the teachers, who retire ordie every year, leaving their posts forever, is not small. 3. The teachersmostly flow to the better schools or higher department in the same county.This unreasonable flowing results in rural schools results in the losing ofbalance in the teachers' knowledge structure and age structure and thebackwardness of rural basic education. The principle reasons affectingteachers' flowing are the teachers' underpaying, the lack of teachers'encouraging elements, the limitation of teachers' self-development inrural areas, the inadequacy of rural school's developing motivation, the imperfection of rural educational management system, which cause theinevitability of teachers' flow.The imbalance of rural teachers draws attention of educationaldepartments in Xinhua County. So, from 2002, the county carries outsome policies aiming at the rural teachers, such as public employment,training, teaching aid and targeted-area enrollment. This thesis analyzesthe implementation effect of these present policies and the problemsattracting our attention.Based on the above analysis, the thesis, from the point view ofpolicy and system, proposes some countermeasures and suggestions for areasonable rural teachers' flowing mechanism in Xinhua County: toenlarge the funds investment of rural education from the government toimprove rural teachers' material treatment, to accelerate the compositionadjustment of rural schools to improve rural school conditions, tostrengthen cultural construction in schools to increase rural teachers'satisfaction with their work, to improve the rural teachers' training toenhance their qualifications as a whole, to improve teachers' professiondevelopment to set up career plans for teachers' development, to improvethe management system of rural teachers to promote the orderly flow ofrural teachers.
