Teachers are not only the transmitters of knowledge, but also the key to guiding students to embark on the right path in life. Encounters with excellent teachers who are conscientious and responsible will benefit students for life.
As a crucial task, student education has increasingly high requirements for the quality of teachers, the threshold is constantly rising, and higher requirements are also put forward for teachers' style and morality. However, the teaching workforce is intricate and uneven in quality, with both excellent teachers and irresponsible people.
In recent years, the fertility rate has declined, the population has aged, and in stark contrast to the past, the demand for primary and secondary school teachers has increased. A professor at Beijing Normal University once predicted that there may be a "surplus" of 1.5 million primary and secondary school teachers in the future, and the competition for teacher employment will become more intense.
Normal students face greater challenges, and it is doubtful whether the teacher compilation test is still meaningful. The introduction of the "teacher exit" mechanism in various places has made many people rethink their future development.
The "iron rice bowl" may be broken, and the "teacher withdrawal" mechanism is explored in various places, which is expected to be implemented in 24 years. In the ridicule, "the end of the involution is to marry a teacher" is exaggerated, but it highlights the noble status of teachers, especially in the education of the next generation of students, the work of teachers has become "fragrant".
Teachers' salaries and benefits are not low, including paid winter and summer vacations and stable five insurances and one housing fund, and they can also get a considerable "pension" after retirement, which makes many people regard the teacher examination as an "obsession".
However, high expectations often come with disappointment, and one of the reasons for the cooling of the "teacher fever" is the large number of teachers and the surplus of resources. Even if you pass the teaching certificate, not everyone will be able to get a teaching position.
The "teacher withdrawal" mechanism is mainly for teachers who are older and physically unsuitable for teaching requirements, and through the "diversion work" of relevant departments and early retirement of qualified teachers. This mechanism has been rolled out in many places, and it has also raised concerns among teachers that the "iron rice bowl" may no longer be guaranteed.
The "teacher withdrawal" mechanism has been launched in various places, such as Jiangsu, Ningxia, Guizhou and other places, and Beijing has also announced plans to officially implement it in 2024.
This mechanism will not renew the appointment of teachers who fail to pass the assessment during the employment period, and will also transfer away from the front-line teaching positions. The purpose of this exit mechanism is to better optimize the teaching team, improve the quality of education, and reduce the phenomenon of "Buddhist teachers", so as to promote teachers' enthusiasm for teaching and eliminate incompetent teachers.
The implementation of the "last elimination" mechanism will help promote the development of education, provide students with higher quality educational resources, and avoid falling into a state of "stagnant water".
Although some teachers are anxious and worried about this, looking at it from another angle, excellent teaching standards will dispel these concerns, thinking that it is just a "mediocre nuisance".
All in all, while the teaching profession is in the spotlight, the uncertainty of the future is difficult to predict. Normal students should take every step of the way to get their dream job without worrying too much about unknown variables.
