“China Ethnic Education” – China Education News Network (Reporter Xu Yang Li Jing) “Rural education is the fundamental need for rural development and the foundation for improving the cultural quality of rural residents. The construction of rural teachers cannot be ignored.” Member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, Tibet University professor Tuden Kezhu suggested that the construction of rural teachers in ethnic areas should be strengthened to create a core driving force for rural education.
Tuden Kezhu recommends:
The first is to increase the resettlement of high-level talents returning to their hometowns in ethnic areas, improve the preferential policies for housing, education, medical care and other aspects provided for talents in ethnic areas, encourage high-level talents to apply for job reassignment independently, and allow introductions from outside the region and the province. After the talent service period expires, they will return to their hometown for resettlement work.
The second is to improve the quality of rural teachers. Raise the entry threshold, encourage existing teachers to take off-job, on-the-job and other forms of continuing education, and improve the knowledge and professional level of rural teachers in ethnic areas; it is strictly forbidden for administrative departments or other departments to second teachers from the rural teachers in ethnic areas to engage in non-educational work. In order to ensure the stability of the rural teaching staff; implement an independent rotation encouragement system for rural teachers in ethnic areas for more than 5 years to promote the balanced development of rural teachers; counterpart support is normalized to meet the long-term development needs of rural education in ethnic areas.
The third is to continue to increase the implementation of the “National Training Program” for rural education in ethnic areas during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, and make rural education in remote and backward areas and weak areas the focus of national investment.
