Teacher Salary Scale 2021

As for the teacher policy, the country has been making great efforts to continuously optimize and adjust it, just so that teachers can have a fairer treatment. First of all, it is proposed that teachers’ salary income should not be lower than that of local civil servants. Such a request is made in the hope that teachers can have a reference space in terms of salary to ensure teachers' living standards, and it also helps to improve teachers' social status.

About allowances, salaries and professional titles. Especially the third one, for teachers, it is worth looking forward to.

The first good news: the teaching age allowance standard that has not changed in 37 years will finally be raised!

The current teaching age allowance standard was formulated in 1985: Those who have been engaged in their job for more than 5 years but less than 10 years will receive 3 yuan per month; those who have been engaged in their job for more than 10 years but less than 15 years will receive 5 yuan per month; Those who are over 15 years old and less than 20 years old are entitled to 7 yuan per month; those who are over 20 years old are 10 yuan per month.

The purpose of establishing such teaching age allowance standards was to encourage teachers to engage in education for a long time. Even though it was only three to five yuan, it accounted for about 10% of the total salary at that time? Therefore, at that time, the teaching age allowance did play an motivating role. You know, a pound of meat only cost 70 or 80 cents back then?

But now, this little money is a bit like a joke. You can’t even buy a bowl of noodles, which is useless. Precisely because the teaching age allowance has lost its own value, and in order to motivate teachers to teach, the country has once again paid attention to it. On December 29, 2021, the State Council issued a notice on "Strengthening the Protection of Rural Teachers' Benefits and Raising the Teaching Age Subsidy Standards", clarifying that teachers' teaching age allowance will be increased in 2022.

Some people may ask, how to pay the teaching age allowance? How much can it be improved? In fact, Henan Province issued relevant policies in 2020. They clearly stipulate that a teaching age allowance of 10 yuan will be given for one year of teaching experience. If the teaching experience is 30 years, the monthly teaching age allowance will be 300 yuan. Although the subsidy standards are not high, Henan Province is at the forefront of the country.

In addition, some provinces will increase teachers’ education allowances in the form of percentages. For example, some provinces will issue corresponding teaching age allowances based on about 10% of the salary. Assume that a teacher’s monthly salary is If it is 6,000 yuan, then the teaching age allowance is 600 yuan per month. However, the specific rules are different in each province. The specific implementation method must be based on the announcement issued by the province.

In fact, the country has only issued policies, but provinces and cities still need to come up with their own implementation plans on how to implement them. However, no matter how much the teaching age allowance increases, this is good news for teachers, isn’t it?

The second good news: establish a basic salary adjustment mechanism.

The State Council issued the "Implementation Plan for Adjusting Basic Salary Standards for Staff in Public Institutions" and clearly stated: Implement the requirements of the "Personnel Management Conditions for Public Institutions" and establish a normal adjustment mechanism for the basic salary of staff in public institutions. In the future, basic salary standards will in principle be adjusted every year or every two years, and in the near future, they will be adjusted every two years.

In January 2022, many places rushed to implement this policy before the Spring Festival. The capital increase standard will be implemented from October 2021, so various regions have reissued the capital increase for four months from October 2021 to January 2022, which is almost 1,200 yuan per person, and the new salary standard will be used in February 2022 issued.

According to the October 2021 edition of the "Basic Salary Standard Table for Compulsory Education Teachers", there are 13 job salary levels and 65 salary levels.

1. Salary amount for each level of position

1,758 yuan for level 13, 1,907 yuan for level 12, 1,929 yuan for level 11, 2,150 yuan for level 10, 2,361 yuan for level 9, 2,361 yuan for level 8 The first level is 2627 yuan, the seventh level is 3037 yuan, the sixth level is 3269 yuan, the fifth level is 3790 yuan, the fourth level is 4520 yuan, the third level is 5163 yuan, the second level is 5949 yuan, and the first level is 7501 yuan.

II. Salary amount for grades 1-45

Grade 1 is 371 yuan, grade 2 is 404 yuan, grade 3 is 438 yuan, grade 4 is 471 yuan, grade 5 is 508 yuan, 6 Level 546 yuan, level 7 587 yuan, level 8 628 yuan, level 9 680 yuan, level 10 732 yuan, level 11 789 yuan, level 12 847 yuan, level 13 910 yuan, level 14 973 yuan, level 15 1042 yuan, 16 Level 1111 yuan, level 17 1185 yuan, level 18 1259 yuan, level 19 1340 yuan, level 20 1421 yuan, level 21 1504 yuan, level 22 1589 yuan, level 23 1680 yuan, level 24 1771 yuan, level 25 1862 yuan, 26 Level 1961 yuan, level 27 2061 yuan, level 28 2161 yuan, level 29 2261 yuan, level 30 2371 yuan, level 31 2481 yuan, level 32 2590 yuan, level 33 2700 yuan, level 34 2821 yuan, level 35 2942 yuan, 36 Level 3063 yuan, level 37 3188 yuan, level 38 3311 yuan, level 39 3435 yuan, level 40 3567 yuan, level 41 3699 yuan, level 42 3831 yuan, level 43 3963 yuan, level 44 4105 yuan, level 45 4269 yuan.

It can be seen from the new basic salary standard table that this salary adjustment is still related to the professional title. The higher the professional title, the greater the increase. No matter what, wage growth is better than no wage growth, and anything is better than nothing!

The third good news: teachers’ professional title promotions have begun to break the ice.

In real life, we often encounter teachers who are still holding junior professional titles when they are about to retire. This is actually an unfair behavior for teachers who have dedicated their lives. Although they feel unbalanced in their hearts, teachers can only accept this helpless reality due to quota restrictions.

For teachers, the issue of professional titles has been a lingering problem in their minds for many years. After all, the professional titles of teachers in many schools are a carrot and a pitfall. If teachers who have previously obtained professional titles do not retire or go For other positions, there would be no way for new teachers to join.

Recently, according to Article 22 of the "New Teacher Law" (currently a draft for comments), junior professional titles and intermediate professional titles for teachers in primary and secondary schools are no longer restricted by the number of positions. According to the years and requirements, You can be directly promoted according to regulations. This is good news for young teachers in primary and secondary schools.

To summarize: Teachers’ promotion to junior and intermediate professional titles will use a natural promotion mechanism, which will greatly reduce the difficulty.

Teachers’ remuneration now depends on their professional titles, and professional titles also have quota limits, which makes it difficult for many teachers to be rated. If they are not rated, they are destined to have low wages throughout their lives. The new "Teachers Law" can set up a scientific salary mechanism for teacher promotion and salary increase, which is definitely good news for teachers. As long as the professional titles are in line with the interests of teachers, the face of education will definitely change greatly. The spring of teachers is really coming.

Legal basis: Article 22 of the "New Teachers Law" stipulates that primary and intermediate professional titles for teachers in primary and secondary schools are no longer restricted by job ratios and can be promoted in accordance with regulations based on years and requirements. Note that this is not a direct promotion, you need to meet the promotion conditions. Conditions include: a teacher must have at least the first prize at the county level, the second prize at the county level; or must have open classes; or have paper requirements; or must have years as a class teacher; or must have served as a teacher, etc. However, it is indeed much easier than before. For example, in rural schools, there are more teachers and fewer places, and there are no restrictions, making it easier for teachers to advance.
