It was certainly a good thing that the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee wanted to come to Wenshan County for investigation. However, Yuan Zili was troubled by an incident in front of him. It turned out that in accordance with the requirements of the central government and the province, private teachers must be completely cleaned up.
Private teachers are a special group. They have made an indelible contribution to the development of education in Wenshan County. Their wages are very low or even negligible. Like formal teachers, they shoulder heavy teaching tasks and have
Private teachers have to work much harder than regular teachers. Over the past few years, superiors have allocated quotas for private teachers to become regular teachers. Most of them are solved by private teachers passing the normal school. However, due to financial difficulties in Wenshan County, private teachers who have become regular teachers have to work hard.
There are not many, so Wenshan County faces the biggest contradiction in the process of removing private teachers.
Yuan Zili and Tian Bin went to the countryside to visit the homes of many private teachers. Some private teachers were over fifty years old and had been teaching all their lives. They had no strength whatsoever. There were also some private teachers who relied entirely on their family members for support. These private teachers
, are confused by the above-mentioned withdrawal policy. Some people feel that they are unwilling to be abandoned after having devoted most of their lives to education.
Yuan Zili and Tian Bin have seen many situations and agreed that private teachers are a vulnerable group. If a one-size-fits-all approach is adopted, it will be unfair to these private teachers. Therefore, they want the county education committee to come up with a proper and feasible plan.
The County Education Committee considered it over and over again. They were most familiar with private teachers, and of course they wanted to speak for private teachers. When the Party Committee held a meeting to study, many people proposed that all private teachers in the county should be converted into formal teachers.
Of course, it cannot be reported, and it is impossible to do it. The party committee debated it for a long time, but could not reach a consensus.
Yuan Zili thought of Tian Lixin. Tian Lixin was still firmly seated as the director of the County Education Committee. Even Yuan Zili felt that Tian Lixin was great and firmly sat in Diaoyutai. Yuan Zili was very cautious about the matter of private teachers. He knew that Fangshan County
This matter is currently being processed.
"Director Tian, hello, I am Yuan Zili."
"Hey, Secretary Yuan, hello, when did you remember to call me?"
"Old Tian, is everything okay?"
"Still like that, Secretary Yuan, even though you have been promoted, you don't even come to Fangshan County to have a look."
"Haha, you should know the situation in Wenshan County. Things are quite busy and I really don't have time. By the way, Lao Tian, I really have something to do with you."
"Secretary Yuan, if you have anything to do, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will die without mercy."
"Haha, it's not that serious. I just want to ask you if you have any good solutions to solve the problem of private teachers."
"Secretary Yuan, why do you care about this matter? There is a deputy county magistrate in charge of education and a deputy secretary in charge of social development. How can you, the secretary of the county party committee, care about you?"
"Old Tian, you don't know that the situation in Wenshan County is quite special. It turns out that the county's finances are too poor, so there are no private teachers who have been regularized. Now, we have to remove these private teachers. It is unbearable. They have been teaching all their lives, and they have suffered without any merit.
Lao, if we don’t treat them differently, some people will really not be able to survive in the future.”
After Yuan Zili finished speaking, he waited for Tian Lixin to reply. Unexpectedly, Tian Lixin did not speak for a long time.
"Old Tian, what's wrong? Do you have any good experience that you don't want to teach?"
"Secretary Yuan, that's not what you mean. Secretary Yuan, do you know that the directors of the education committees of our counties all contacted each other during this work of removing private teachers and informed each other of some information. The situation in Wenshan County, I
I know a little bit. As far as I know, among all the cities and counties in Huaiyang City, you are the only county party secretary who is directly concerned about this matter. Moreover, your words moved me very much. Put yourself in the shoes of private teachers. Director Cai gave me
I called him and told him that all opinions of the party committee were corrected. I told him that this was impossible. No matter how generous the county committee was, it was impossible for him to agree. After discussing with him, I came up with an idea.
Those who are over 55 years old, women over 50 years old, and have worked as private teachers for more than 15 years can all be considered for full-time employment. These people have basically lost the ability to work and will not be able to do other things in the future. They must be considered.
, if these people are not considered, they may really face the dilemma of having no food to eat. As for the remaining private teachers, hasn’t Wenshan County not used up the quota for regularization for many years? The county should clean up and see how many quotas there are.
, take them all out, take a unified examination, and recruit them all. Private teachers have nothing to say in this way. I believe they can understand it. Of course, if the county's financial conditions are good, it is still possible to recruit more people. Private teachers,
Most of them are in remote places with poor conditions, where formal teachers cannot stay, and some schools even have all private teachers."
"Lao Tian, you are worthy of being an old director. You have clarified your thoughts in just a few words. Let's do this. You can continue to do me a favor. Call Lao Cai and tell him what you mean. This will save the party committee from fighting over each other.
I still can’t come up with a good opinion.”
"Secretary Yuan, I haven't finished speaking yet. There is something unfair about doing this. However, there is no absolute fairness in the first place. Examinations will inevitably involve ability issues. Those young private teachers, especially those who have entered the private sector in recent years
Teachers are mostly high school students with high standards. Those private teachers in the past would naturally not be able to pass the exam. I estimate that if it is a recruitment exam, most of the candidates will be around 47 or 88 years old. Some of these people are indeed lacking in ability.
However, they have made great contributions, so they still have trouble in actual operations."
"Old Tian, I know that nothing is perfect in this world. Everything has its pros and cons. If you want to cover everything, you have to stop doing it. You'd better call Lao Cai, explain your views clearly, and ask him to submit the plan as soon as possible.
It's not okay to put it off like this, at least we need to have a plan first."
"Secretary Yuan, I understand. I will talk to Lao Cai about this matter right away. Don't worry."
When the Education Committee submitted the plan, Yuan Zili had already discussed it with Tian Bin several times. Regarding the issue of the retirement of private teachers, both of them agreed to take it slowly and not to rush. In these matters, Wenshan County does not need to be advanced. They have already followed the
The Personnel Bureau was ordered to conduct an inventory of the indicators for private teachers' regularization over the years. How many of them were useless? In fact, there were not many. Counting from the 1980s to the present, there were only 235 indicators that were not used.
These indicators were far from meeting the requirements. Yuan Zili expressed his general thoughts. Tian Bin had no objections, but they had not revealed their thoughts yet.
The Education Committee's plan was placed on Yuan Zili's desk.
Yuan Zili looked at the plan carefully. It was almost the plan mentioned by Tian Lixin, but with specific content and operation methods. Yuan Zili was a little annoyed. Director Cai, didn't he have a head? He would just follow what others said. No.
A little autonomy, the removal of private teachers, such a big matter, the party committee will always have correct opinions, why not add those correct opinions into the plan.
"Lao Tian, you have also read this plan. I have an idea. There are a large number of private teachers in Wenshan County. It is also because Wenshan County's original economic conditions were so poor that there was no way to solve it, which led to the current situation. Wenshan County's private teachers have been cleared.
The work of retiring is more complicated than other counties and cities, so I thought that this time we should approach the cleanup with the attitude of repaying the debt. I think that in addition to the two rigid age levers of 55 and 50,
, the remaining private teachers will be digested in several times. When starting this year, 60% will be solved and 20% will be solved by passing the exam in the next exam. The rest are really incompetent and a certain monthly living allowance will be considered.
These private teachers have contributed to the development of Wenshan County, we cannot abandon them, Lao Tian, what do you think?"
At the meeting of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee, Yuan Zili presented his thoughts completely, and no one else raised any objections. In this way, the work of eliminating private teachers officially began.
Although the county party committee has good intentions to solve the problem of private teachers, there are more than 700 private teachers in Wenshan County. To solve this problem smoothly, it takes more than a few words. After each township education station announced the private teacher retirement plan,
Many private teachers have come to the county town and the county education committee, and they have inquired about the specific methods of becoming a regular teacher. Many people believe that becoming a regular teacher still depends on relationships.
The young private teachers knew how precious this opportunity was. They just went to the county education committee to confirm the news, and immediately returned home to start reviewing preparations. They understood what the 60% target meant. As long as they could review carefully, they would be able to pass the exam.
The opportunity is great, and after this exam, you only need to study at Huaiyang Teacher Training School for one year to become a national official teacher. The working hours of previous private teachers are considered seniority. After graduation, in principle, you can return to
Go to the place where you used to teach.
Those who are in the worst mood are a group of private teachers aged 40 to 55. Their foundation is obviously not as good as that of young people, and their energy is not as good. If it is an exam, they are definitely not those who graduated from high school or even normal school.
Private teachers who work as substitute teachers after graduation. These people are in a very depressed mood.
Yuan Zili has no choice. Without perfect policies and measures, some people will always suffer. If the country carries out such a big reform, someone will definitely pay the price. According to the requirements of the county committee and the county government, the Education Committee can only do its work.
, requiring all qualified private teachers to sign up to take the exam. The Education Committee has made preparations for private teachers for a long time, so it will be implemented very quickly.
The examination for private teachers must be completed within August. All those who pass the examination will go to Huaiyang City Teacher Training School for training in September. The County Education Commission adopts a teacher-support model to temporarily solve the problem of lack of teachers in remote schools. The situation in Wenshan County and
Like other counties and cities, a large number of teachers gather in and near the county seat, but there is a shortage of teachers in remote areas.
Yuan Zili demanded that the examination must be open, fair, and transparent. People from the county education committee should not participate in invigilation. People from other counties and cities should be invited to invigilate the examination. At the same time, the entire examination process must be under the supervision of the county Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Supervision Bureau.
Because of strict policies and multi-party supervision measures in all processes, private teachers have no objections to the exam itself. However, when the exam was over and they walked out of the exam room, many of the older private teachers burst into tears and let people around them see them.
I can't bear it.
As soon as the exam ended, the director of the Education Committee was surrounded by many older private teachers. Some said good things, some cried bitterly, and some were dissatisfied. This made the director of the Education Committee very anxious. The news reached Yuan Zili. Yuan Zili smiled and said no.
What can I say? At times like this, it is the responsibility of the director of the Education Committee to maintain stability.
The exam results came out quickly. As expected, 90% of the young private teachers passed the exam, while less than 30% of the older private teachers passed the exam. There is no way around this.
Some older private teachers were dissatisfied and banded together, under the guidance of their children or others, to write a situation reflection material, which mainly described the difficulties. However, this kind of material had no obvious effect in the large-scale reform atmosphere.
, many private teachers lost face and went to the county education committee to complain, and the reception staff patiently and carefully explained.
The entire operation process was basically smooth.
Yuan Zili is very concerned about the problem of private teachers. The provincial party committee secretary is coming to Wenshan County soon. At this time, stability must be maintained and there should not be too many petitions. Yuan Zili specifically told the leaders of the county education committee to pay close attention to private teachers.
The director of the education committee did not dare to neglect, and arranged for team members to go to the towns and villages to do stable work, and the tasks were divided into parts, so there could not be any mistakes.
By the end of August, the matter of private teachers has basically come to an end, because there is another exam at the end of the year, and the 20% admission quota has stabilized a lot of teachers. Most of the young people with flexible minds have passed the exam, and the remaining people have about the same ability.
It depends on who is more prepared. Therefore, most private teachers, regardless of their age, begin to study seriously with books in hand.
There is nothing that can be done for some private teachers who are really incompetent. This group of people account for a very small proportion. In schools, they also belong to the dawdling and logistics staff.
