Thought guidance
Comprehensively enhance
Teachers’ ideological and political quality
"As a branch secretary, my task is to set up a lofty ideal for teachers to teach and educate people, and to solve their worries in the work of teachers." Gao Hao, secretary of the Party branch of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, School of Pharmacy, Jinan University, said.
Last year, his studio was selected as the first batch of "double leaders" ("party leader and business leader") teachers’ party branch secretaries’ studios in national colleges and universities. Under the role of role models and beliefs, teachers from party member College of Pharmacy helped each other, solved the worries of life and solved the scientific research problems, and the party organization continued to glow with new vitality.
In recent years, our province has issued the "Three-year Action Plan for Strengthening the Party’s Grassroots Organizations in Guangdong Province (2018— In 2020), the implementation plan, the evaluation index system of party building work in colleges and universities, and the implementation opinions on strengthening party building work in private schools.
According to the document, our province will implement the requirements of strictly administering the Party in an all-round way to every teacher’s party branch and teacher party member, put the party’s political construction in the first place, strengthen the development of teachers’ party branch secretaries and party member, and improve the "double training" mechanism of cultivating backbone teachers into party member and party member teachers into teaching, scientific research and management backbones.
The train runs fast, thanks to the headband. At present, our province has set up 20 "double-leader" teachers’ party branch secretaries’ studios in colleges and universities, and trained 13,610 party building backbones since last year.
By constantly improving the long-term mechanism for the construction of teachers’ morality, we should strengthen the education of teachers’ professional ideals and professional ethics, guide teachers to adhere to the unity of teaching and educating people, to adhere to the unity of words and deeds, to adhere to the unity of asking questions and paying attention to society, to adhere to the unity of academic freedom and academic norms, and to establish themselves, learn, teach and moral education with morality.
Not long ago, the launching ceremony of the 2019 Guangdong Teachers’ Morality Construction Theme Education Month was held in Guangzhou. This year’s theme is "Consciously patriotic and law-abiding, devote oneself to teaching and educating people". In a month’s time, the Provincial Department of Education will organize teachers to carry out moral education and publicity activities, strengthen education of ideals and beliefs, learn advanced typical deeds, promote the implementation of the system and mechanism of moral construction, and strive to improve the ideological and political quality and professional ethics of teachers.
Since 2008, the Provincial Department of Education has designated September every year as the theme education month of teachers’ morality construction, and this year is the 12th year. The theme education month of teachers’ morality construction has become the brand of teachers’ morality and style construction in our province.
In order to innovate the way of promoting teachers’ morality, various places have explored "optional actions".
On August 23rd, 2019, the results of the "Teacher of the Year" selection for the basic education system in Shenzhen were announced. Five teachers from Shenzhen Middle School, Yin Jie, Sun Daoguo from Yucai Middle School in Nanshan District, Sun Dianyuan from Cuiyuan Middle School in Luohu District, Jin Xin from Pingshan High School in Pingshan District and Cao Yating from the middle school affiliated to Futian Academy of Educational Sciences, were elected as the new "Teachers of the Year" in Shenzhen, and they will go to all districts and counterpart assistance areas in the city to carry out roving sharing activities.
"The annual teacher selection in Shenzhen has entered its fifth year and has become a shining business card for Shenzhen education. It has played a good role in setting a benchmark and setting an example while enhancing the professional identity of Shenzhen teachers." Professor Liao Yi, a member of the expert jury, the president of Shaoguan University in Guangdong Province and the national inspector, said that this move will help promote the teachers to better devote themselves to teaching and educating people, which is worth popularizing.
Huizhou Education Bureau requires the faculty and staff of the whole city to sign a letter of commitment. Each school organizes an oath activity every year to guide and motivate the faculty and staff of the whole city to enhance the sense of mission of Lide Shuren, enhance the sense of honor of Lide Shuren, and take the lead in practicing socialist core values.
On Teacher’s Day last year, the provincial party committee and government solemnly commended 1,757 outstanding teachers, outstanding educators and special-grade teachers in South Guangdong. This year, the national ministries and commissions were recommended to commend the advanced collectives and individuals in the national education system in 2019. Among them, Mr. Shen Chenglin from Qizhi School in Shunde District, Foshan City was rated as the "Top Ten Most Beautiful Teachers" in 2019.
optimize structure
"Post Refund" for the countryside
Add 47,000 teachers.
"I teach junior high school mathematics in Bayi District Middle School and also serve as a class teacher. My life is very fulfilling." On the other end of the phone, Lin Wenjie, who is far away from Xizang, is a math teacher at Lanshi Middle School in Wuchuan City. Last year, she was awarded as an excellent teacher in South Guangdong. In July 2016, she volunteered to participate in the teaching program in Tibet, and became the first teacher of Wuchuan, Xizang, to teach, which is the fourth year.
Before teaching in Tibet, Lin Wenjie had two experiences of teaching in the countryside: in 2013, she was sent to Yangshan, Qingyuan to teach for one year, and her class’s math score in the college entrance examination was ahead of her peers; In 2015, she was sent to teach in Lianzhou, Qingyuan.
The development of eastern Guangdong, western Guangdong, northern Guangdong and the Pearl River Delta region is unbalanced, and rural education is one of the outstanding shortcomings. More and more Guangdong teachers, like Lin Wenjie, spontaneously went to the "depression" and brought back peaches and plums.
The supplement of high-quality teachers is the key to improve the quality of rural teachers. Since 2008, our province has implemented the policy of "returning fees from teaching in rural areas", and has supplemented 47,000 qualified teachers for rural schools, 98% of whom will continue to teach in the local area after the expiration. Since last year, the fee refund standard has been adjusted from 6,000 yuan per person per year to 8,000 yuan. In that year, 2,690 teachers were newly added, an increase of 5% over the previous year.
To improve teachers’ social status and professional happiness, income security is an important part.
Our province has implemented the "two equal" salary for primary and secondary school teachers, and completed the adjustment of the basic salary standard for compulsory education teachers according to the national deployment; Clarify the salary comparison between compulsory education teachers and civil servants, and all localities should consider compulsory education school teachers in a timely manner when granting incentive subsidies to civil servants; Taking the overall improvement of the performance wage level in primary and secondary schools as a prerequisite for approving and improving the standard subsidy level of local organs.
In order to attract more outstanding educational talents to "stay and teach well" in rural teachers’ posts, our province has started to implement the "free directional training plan for primary and secondary school teachers in eastern and western Guangdong", and the provincial finance has arranged 20,000 yuan per person per year on the basis of per capita funding, and has enrolled 5,000 students in the past two years; Start the implementation of the "Silver Age Lecture Plan", recruit outstanding retired teachers to teach and give lectures in rural schools, and the provincial finance will arrange 20,000 yuan per person per year.
"I’m very nervous, just like standing on the podium for the first time seven years ago." From September 2nd, Li Danglian, a teacher from Huaiji leng keng Central Primary School in Zhaoqing City, will start a three-year teaching career in Mingyue Campus, the 16th primary school in Zhaoqing City.
Not long ago, the pilot project of "urban-rural linkage and two-way promotion" for compulsory education teachers in Zhaoqing City was officially launched. After five days’ training in Zhaoqing University, 100 teachers from Huaiji County Compulsory Education School were transferred to schools in Duanzhou District for three years, and 30 teachers from Duanzhou District Compulsory Education School went to schools in Huaiji County for one year.
At the same time, our province attaches great importance to the improvement of the professional ability of teachers in rural schools. Since 2012, our province has arranged 260 million yuan of funds in the "Strong Teacher Project" to carry out provincial-level training for rural teachers, and has trained 130,000 rural teachers; Organize the action of sending famous teachers and principals to the countryside every year; We will comprehensively promote the rigid restraint mechanism of regular exchange and rotation of principals and teachers in primary and secondary schools in the county. Last year, 39,000 principals and teachers in the province participated in the exchange.

Management reform is pushed forward in the whole province
"The special award is an affirmation of our work!" Due to the remarkable achievements in promoting the reform of "county management and school employment", Shaoguan City received a special award of 5 million yuan from the Provincial Department of Education.
In April 2017, Shaoguan issued the "Working Opinions on Promoting the Management Reform of" County Management and School Employment "of Public Teachers in Basic Education Schools in the City (Trial)", and Nanxiong City, Zhenjiang District and municipal schools launched the pilot reform of "County Management and School Employment".
The reform is carried out from the aspects of establishment and post management, post competition, teacher exchange, supplement and withdrawal. County-level education departments shall, within the approved total amount, make overall arrangements for the establishment of schools and the number of posts, improve the management of teachers’ posts, strengthen the evaluation of teachers, and strive to realize the transformation of teachers from "school people" to "system people".
As of the first half of this year, all counties (cities, districts) in the province have issued specific implementation measures, 80 counties and districts have re-approved the staffing of teaching staff, adding more than 2,000 teachers, and 64 counties and districts have conducted teacher assessment competitions and deployed more than 6,000 teachers.

" According to the relevant person in charge of Meizhou Education Bureau, the first "district management school recruitment" teacher competition in Meijiang District was completed in August this year. A total of 2,428 teachers in the whole district participated in the intra-school competition, and 153 participated in the inter-school or inter-school competition, among which 110 teachers were hired in the inter-school section; In Pingyuan County, 2,205 teachers participated in the intra-school competition, regional competition and county-wide competition, resulting in the gap and pressure, which gave birth to the impetus of education development, and 105 teachers competed for new posts.
Shaoguan, which is at the forefront of reform, exchanged 2,374 teachers in rotation last year, including 1,441 across schools and 321 across schools, and the proportion of teachers in compulsory education reached 7.2%. The city has increased the number of primary and secondary school teachers by 95, and allocated 441 teachers from senior high schools and junior high schools to the primary schools that are short of staff.
"In the first half of this year, we conducted an assessment of middle-level cadres in primary and secondary schools in the region and exchanged and deployed more than 100 middle-level cadres." The relevant person in charge of the Education Bureau of Pengjiang District, Jiangmen City introduced that the bureau cooperated with relevant departments to formulate a series of measures from the aspects of teacher establishment, post use management reform and teacher introduction, mobility and withdrawal, so as to fully realize "systematic person" management.
