The "King of the Roll King" Shenzhen Middle School has struck again.
In the autumn recruitment season this year, the myth of the academic qualifications of teachers in Shenzhen middle schools continued to be staged. According to the recruitment schedule of the official website of Shenzhen and China, this autumn, Shenzhen Middle School provides a total of 116 teaching positions for 2022 fresh graduates, and the degree requirements are all master's degree and above.
On October 19, Teacher Li of Shenzhen Middle School introduced to the Times Weekly reporter that the current interview and written examination of school recruitment has ended, and the next round of recruitment will wait until next spring.
At the same time, the list of new teachers in Shenzhen Middle School last year was also pulled out again, triggering major social platforms. The list shows that among the 66 inducted teachers, 39 are masters, 21 are doctors, and 6 are doctors (post)." Among these new teachers, 17 graduated from Peking University, 16 from Tsinghua University, and many graduates from world-class universities such as Cambridge University and Oxford University.
At the bottom of Weibo, some netizens joked: "The end of the universe is the compilation", "Shenzhen Middle School, the common dream of 1.4 billion people", and even more said, "Shenzhen can be out of the journal, minutes SCI level."
In this regard, Teacher Li told the Times Weekly reporter: "There is no exaggeration as the outside world says, teachers are not all doctoral graduates, and this year we have also admitted several master's graduates of the department of Chinese in Beijing." ”
"When will Peking University be like Shenzhen"
According to information released by Shenzhen Middle School, the campus lecture was held from October 9 to 10, mainly for students from Tsinghua University, Peking University and Beijing Normal University.
Teacher Li said, "As long as it is a master's degree or above, you can apply for the application, and we do not particularly emphasize the need for a doctorate." In the end, it is necessary to look at the results of the written test and interview, and select the best candidate. ”
Teachers with postgraduate degrees and well-known departments have long been accustomed to Shenzhen Middle School. But in recent days, even top researchers have begun to go deeper.
According to media reports, Liu Ying, a distinguished professor of the "Yangtze River Scholars Award Program" and a proud disciple of Yan Ning, a famous Chinese structural biologist, joined Shenzhen Middle School after graduating in 2019. Zhang Peiyuan, who works in chemistry and molecular engineering and received a letter of recommendation from the University of Massachusetts School of Medicine, and Luo Tianzhi, a research assistant professor at southern University of Science and Technology, have also become teachers at Shenzhen Middle School.
According to the official website of Shenzhen Middle School, at present, there are more than 80 doctoral teachers in the team of teachers in Shenzhen and Middle School, more than 100 teachers who have graduated from Peking University and Tsinghua University, more than 30 teachers who have graduated from top overseas schools such as Harvard University, Oxford University, cambridge university, etc., and more than 30 professors, senior teachers, special teachers, gold medal coaches, famous teachers and famous class teachers.
It is rumored that a Peking University person once complained in the school forum, "Teaching and educating people is not a child's play, and the level of teachers who are top 2 recruits is not as good as that of Shenzhen Middle School, and I hope that Peking University can rectify the teachers."
Lin Zhen (pseudonym) is a master's degree in Peking University and a ph.D. at Tsinghua University. After graduating in 2020, he entered Shenzhen Middle School through school recruitment.
According to Jie, the written test of Shenzhen Middle School is divided into examination papers according to majors, "the overall difficulty is slightly higher than the college entrance examination, and the admission rate is about 30%." The interview acceptance rate is also very low, "My group of 7 people entered the interview, and in the end only 2 people were admitted." ”
In addition, he also mentioned that he met many alumni when he took the written test that year, and many doctors from Tsinghua Peking University joined in the past three years.
<b>Throw 200 million yuan in wages and benefits</b>
On the way to Shenzhen Middle School's leap to become the new generation of "King of the Roll King", heavy remuneration naturally cannot be less.
According to insiders, the monthly salary of Shenzhen middle school teachers with formal establishment is about 11,000 yuan after tax, and the subsidies and performance bonuses are added up, and the annual salary starts from 300,000 yuan.
Lin Zhen told the Times Weekly reporter that his treatment is not as high as that spread on the Internet, and becoming a teacher in Shenzhen Middle School is out of the educational ideal from an early age.
Times Weekly inquired about the budget released by the Shenzhen Municipal Education Bureau and learned that the financial budget of Shenzhen and China this year reached 408.6 million yuan, of which the budget for the salary and welfare expenditure of incumbents was nearly 200 million yuan (199.55 million yuan). The total number of employees in the school is 471, and the per capita salary and benefits are close to 423,000 yuan.
In addition to the guaranteed salary, the pressure is also less than doing scientific research in colleges and universities. According to insiders, Liu Ying is not very adapted to the 16-hour laboratory life a day, and it is under the pressure of high pressure and results that she finally chose to work in Shenzhen Middle School.
A doctor of liberal arts from a university in Beijing told the Times Weekly: "In fact, I don't want to go to middle school, but the paper forced me to make my black circles sparkle, I really can't stand it!" ”
Some doctoral students said that now key universities are very strict about the KPIs of employees, requiring "non-promotion or departure". Under the bombardment of doing projects, taking students, and engaging in administration, university teachers are under "great pressure."
The volume of Shenzhen middle school education also attracted Guan Qingyou, the dean of the Institute of Financial Research and chief economist, to watch on Weibo. He wrote on Weibo, "The cost performance of university teachers is obviously not as good as that of middle school teachers, and people are also a rational choice." However, as far as the country is concerned, this is probably also an inversion, which is a phenomenon worthy of vigilance. Improving the cost performance of university teachers is king. ”
Drive the famous schools in the province to roll together
Lin Zhen told the Times Weekly reporter that the gathering of a group of Qingbei teachers in the deep middle school can make the students' learning efficiency more efficient. "There is no best educational condition in Shenzhen, only better."
The arrival of a large number of outstanding talents has made Shenzhen Middle School rank first in the city in the past 2 years. The outside world believes that Shenzhen has become the cradle of the Qingbei people.
In 2021, a total of 41 students from Shenzhen Middle School were admitted to Qingbei, ranking first in Guangdong Province. Compared with 32 people in 2020, 30 people in 2019 and 26 people in 2018, the number has skyrocketed.
The academic qualifications of Shenzhen Middle School are also invisibly putting pressure on other schools in Guangdong Province, especially Guangzhou, the former educational highland of Guangdong.
From the latest guangdong top 100 middle school rankings, Shenzhen Middle School has successfully defeated the former leader - the Affiliated Middle School of South China Normal University and become the hegemon of this year. This is due to the fact that 17 of its physics candidates entered the top 100 in the province, which is 6 more than Huafu.
An industry insider revealed to the Times Weekly reporter, "Competition schools in Guangdong such as the Provincial Experiment and the Huashi Affiliated Middle School are now also beginning to roll up the recruitment of teachers." ”
The Times Weekly reporter checked the recruitment announcement list of Guangdong Experimental Middle School and found that in 2016, only about 40% of the new teachers who entered the final interview were graduate students, but by 2020, the interview public list was already a complete graduate degree.
In the new semester of September this year, 14 of the 26 new teachers hired by Guangdong Experimental Middle School are from Qingbei, including 7 Peking University doctors, 6 Peking University masters, and 1 Tsinghua master.
Among the 40 newly hired teachers from the affiliated middle schools of South China Normal University, 9 are also doctors and postdoctoral fellows from Peking University, Tsinghua University, Hong Kong university Chinese university, Victoria University and other universities.
Hu Xinxin, principal of Guangzhou No. 1 Middle School, once said that teachers are the first resource for the development of the school, and there will be a good education with good teachers, and in the next three years, the first middle school expects doctors and masters to account for more than 10% and 50% of the total number of teachers.
However, compared with the per capita Qingbei Doctor of Shenzhen Middle School, the above-mentioned industry insiders said, "Guangzhou's volume is not worth mentioning." ”
