In 27 years, the number of primary school-age children has been reduced to 100 million, and redundant teachers are faced with where to go
In recent years, with the number of births declining year by year, many people in the industry are paying attention to how to deal with this new part of teachers in the future? Should we implement the system of competitive recruitment of teachers, or should we abolish the number of teachers, allow teachers to move freely, optimize the way out for unqualified teachers, and improve the overall level of the teaching force?
In 2023, there will be 17 million children of primary school age; 15 million in 2024; 14 million in 2025; 12 million in 2026; It will reach 10 million in 2027. A reduction of 7 million in four years will inevitably lead to a surplus of primary school teachers.
In this case, the following three strategies can be adopted:
1.Reduce the recruitment of new teachers, this practice has been used in recent years, the number of new teachers recruited in many counties has decreased sharply, the deployment of teachers in the county, teachers in the county make full use of teachers in the county, some schools do not need redundant teachers, the county education and sports bureau can according to the flow of teachers, there is no need for each school to plan to recruit new teachers every year, the county education and sports bureau unified deployment of teachers The county education and sports bureau can uniformly mobilize teacher resources.
2. Dismissal of temporary contract teachers, in fact, even if there is an inflow of teachers, there will be an imbalance in the number of teachers in each school. In recent years, the number of teachers in rural primary and secondary schools has been relatively large, because many rural students go to urban primary and secondary schools, resulting in a decrease in the number of students in municipal schools, and teachers are naturally redundant. In addition, there are some temporary contract teachers who are not on the establishment, and they can also be dismissed early through similar means to reduce the total number of teachers.
3.Eligible teachers are transferred to secondary schools, which will lead to a surge in enrollment. This will be a real-world challenge that cannot be ignored by primary school teachers! In fact, this is also the policy of teacher mobility in many places. Under the condition of a shortage of teachers in county schools, teachers in the county can be uniformly distributed by the city, and the county teachers can be regarded as a whole and distributed by the county education and sports bureau to balance the imbalance in the number of teachers between schools.
In addition to the above three points, if there are still teachers left, in fact, there is no pressure on the teacher's iron rice bowl, and the original class of more than 50 people can be reduced to a small class of 30 people, so that the teacher can better take care of every student in teaching, so that the efficiency of the class will be higher.
Wouldn't it be great to have more than 20 people in a class in the future? There are always people who say that there are too many people to take care of honestly, and even if they ask questions, it is impossible for everyone to answer, and there are fewer children and more questions, isn't it?
So some netizens said that it is not the problem that there are too many teachers, but the problem that the original classroom is too crowded and there are too many students.
In recent years, as the population has aged, the number of retired teachers has also increased, and there is no large surplus of teachers. What do we think about this?
