Why are teachers paid low?

Why are "supernumerary" teachers poorly paid?

For many teachers, the salary is too low. Leng Yanqing said, "They are all recruited through the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, and the school will pay them according to the treatment of public teachers. That's for sure, but these teachers came in June+10 last year and are still on probation. The salary is relatively low, and the work performance award can only be obtained after the assessment. There is indeed a part of the money that has not been paid, and it will be paid after the start of this semester. " Chengdu Business Daily reporter Wang Chao (Photo courtesy of the respondent)

There is still a week to leave school, but Yang Li (pseudonym) has not decided how to face the arrival of the new semester.

Yang Li, 27, is a teacher in a vocational school in Xichong County, Nanchong City. Last year, he finally got the status of "career establishment". According to the official recruitment information, he should have become a teacher in Xichong Vocational Middle School. However, he finally entered a private school called Zhang Lan Vocational and Technical School.

After working in the school, Yang Li found that he didn't enjoy the proper treatment for the staff of public institutions. Not only that, but he also found that Xichong Vocational Middle School, which he applied for, had already existed in name only. According to the investigation of Chengdu Business Daily reporter, similar to Yang Li's experience, there are 10 other candidates who apply for Xichong Vocational Middle School in the same batch.

On February 3, the Xichong County People's Social Security Bureau responded in the mailbox of the governor of the Sichuan Provincial Bureau of Letters and Calls in official website, saying that "the problems reflected are basically true, and a letter has been sent to Zhang Lan Vocational and Technical School in strict accordance with relevant state regulations to implement the salary standards and related treatment requirements of similar personnel in public institutions." On February 8, the relevant person in charge of the Xichong County People's Social Security Bureau told the Chengdu Business Daily reporter that the specific situation of this matter is still under investigation.
