Why do you feel that primary and secondary school teachers’ salaries are relatively low?

It is obvious that the salary of primary school teachers is not high. As a high school teacher, I will analyze the reasons based on my own situation.

First, there are strict requirements for wages in public institutions as a whole. Taking teachers as an example, they are mainly divided into several parts. Salary levels are linked to professional titles. Junior, intermediate and senior levels are in prefecture-level cities in northern China. , the difference is less than 2,000 yuan at most, teaching age salary, class teacher allowance, vary greatly from place to place, ours is only 260 yuan, so many senior teachers are not willing to be, young teachers have to take on heavy work as a class teacher in order to be evaluated for professional titles. As an oil city, we still There is an oil subsidy of several hundred yuan, but with the losses of PetroChina and Sinopec, this part is not safe. The rest is housing rent subsidy, provident fund, etc., which have certain restrictions.

Secondly, some people think that teachers’ benefits are good and a lower salary will not affect them. I started working in 2008. In the first five years when I started working, my salary was only about 2,000 yuan. To about 4,000 yuan, more than twice the salary! If it is a key high school or a senior high school teacher in a university, some senior teachers can each receive 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. This is absolutely true.

But in recent years until now, except for the 13th month salary, all other benefits have disappeared, and meetings are always about improving teacher ethics and selfless dedication. Even in the twelfth month, wages are not paid normally. In 2018, wages were not paid until June 2019. There is still no news about wages in 2019.

So the current salary is indeed relatively low, and I often feel that it is not enough.

Thirdly, the society has opinions on teachers having winter and summer vacations and running classes to make up classes. They feel that it is unfair to give higher wages! This is the view of a large number of people. In fact, teachers’ benefits basically include winter and summer vacations. Let me talk about the issue of making up lessons. In the past few years, many teachers were indeed making up lessons in order to supplement their small salaries. However, now the education management department is becoming more and more strict. Most educational institutions are now making up lessons. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are others. Teachers are at the head of the wind. After all, the demand is there and the benefits are there. However, the vast majority of teachers are earning their own dead wages and cannot live without hunger.
