Abstract:

In 2012, China launched the policy of professional tilting senior towards rural teachers. After more than ten years, the problem of “historical arrears” caused by the low proportion of senior teachers in rural areas has been effectively resolved. This policy has provided varying degrees of contribution to promoting the professional growth of rural teachers, increasing their salary and benefits, enhancing their career attractiveness. But with the advancement of reforms, the proportion of senior teachers in rural areas has grown too fast and there are significant inter-provincial differences. In some provinces, there is an inverted urban-rural ratio, and the obvious gap between high rural and low urban teachers has become apparent. There is a significant gap between the literacy, professional vitality, and high-quality teacher demand of senior rural teachers. In accelerating the construction of a strong education country, the goal should be to improve the professional level of teachers and adhere to professional title evaluation and appointment towards rural teachers. Based on urban-rural integration, establish and improve a moderate tilt mechanism for senior teacher positions towards rural teachers. With attracting outstanding talents as the core, we will implement a tilt policy towards rural teachers with outstanding contributions and high potential for literacy in senior teacher positions. Using the high-quality teaching staff assist rural education in better serving the construction of an education powerhouse.

Key words: positions tilt, senior rural teacher, professional level, occupational attractiveness, contribution rate
