To alleviate the shortage of literacy teachers during the literacy movement

The literacy campaign is an educational activity of great historical significance carried out at the beginning of the founding of New China, aiming to improve the literacy and cultural level of the working people.

During the literacy movement, literacy education faced great difficulties and challenges due to teacher shortages and other reasons. In order to solve this problem, the government and all sectors of society have taken a series of measures, including strengthening teacher training, expanding educational resources, and improving teaching methods.

The government has recruited a large number of volunteer teachers through various channels, including some experienced teachers and college student volunteers. These volunteers provide important teaching staff for literacy education.

Secondly, the government also actively promotes the popularization of literacy education so that more people have the opportunity to receive literacy education. Finally, the government also pays attention to improving teaching methods and adopts various forms of teaching methods, such as classroom teaching, field teaching, group learning, etc., to improve students' learning effects and interest in learning.

During the literacy movement, the government and all sectors of society worked together and adopted a series of measures to alleviate the shortage of literacy teachers. These measures have not only improved the literacy and cultural level of the working people, but also laid a solid foundation for the development of education in China.

Characteristics of teacher shortage in modern society:

1. The total number of teachers is relatively tight: In many areas, the total number of teachers is relatively insufficient and cannot meet the growing demand for education. This has caused many schools to face difficulties in recruiting teachers, especially in some remote and rural areas, where the teacher shortage is more obvious.

2. Structural shortage: In addition to total shortage, teacher shortage also manifests as structural shortage. There are relatively few teachers in some subjects such as English, science, information technology, etc., resulting in the quality of teaching in these subjects being affected. In addition, some emerging subjects such as artificial intelligence and new energy also face the problem of lack of professional teachers.

3. Serious loss of teachers: In some areas, due to working environment, remuneration, career development and other reasons, many teachers are unwilling to engage in education for a long time, resulting in a large loss of teachers.

4. The quality of teachers is uneven: In the case of teacher shortage, some schools may lower their recruitment standards, resulting in uneven quality of teachers. This will not only affect the quality of teaching, but also increase the instability of the teaching team.
