According to the report, the average annual salary of 985 college teachers is 8 1.2 1.5 yuan, and that of higher vocational colleges is 49,698 yuan. Judging from the above data, the income of college teachers is nothing if they only rely on wages.
So there are other "extra income"?
In fact, this part of the income is not unexpected. Some university professors, as technical and academic authorities in their research fields, have income such as technical review fees and remuneration for publishing professional books. Of course, according to different fields and specialties, the income in this area is also slightly different.
The source of high income for college teachers that ordinary people really can't think of is actually here-
In recent years, China has been vigorously encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship, and attaches great importance to the effective transformation of innovation achievements. Therefore, a series of measures have been introduced to help realize the integration of Industry-University-Research and the transformation of its achievements.
Many university teachers who do scientific research not only teach in schools, but also may be the bosses of an enterprise or engage in research and development in some enterprises.
They use the resources of enterprises to develop cutting-edge technologies outside the school and bring the results back to the university for teaching. It not only brings high profits to enterprises, but also improves the quality of teaching and promotes technological progress. It is normal for them to get higher income.
For example, Zhang Tingbi, a professor at Wuhan University, developed the process of industrial production of iron porphyrin and acquired the shares of Tao Hong K Group 10% by technology. His personal assets exceeded 100 million more than ten years ago!
In addition, the research funds of some scientific research projects in China are also very high, and the research funds of some high-tech projects such as chip development or physical quantum or materials are usually tens of millions.
Competent teachers can apply for scientific research projects for research and development, and then apply the research results to actual production for transformation. Then, as a real R&D person, you can naturally enjoy its benefits.
In addition, for teachers in some engineering colleges, there is another aspect that is also very profitable-that is, one of our common scientific research achievements: patents!
Basically, in the process of scientific research, new technologies developed will be applied as patents. After obtaining the right, you can also obtain high profits through implementation, transfer and licensing.
For example, in March this year, Fudan University authorized the IDO inhibitor for tumor immunotherapy with independent intellectual property rights to HUYA (Huya) Company of the United States. According to the agreement, Huya will pay a total of about $65 million in milestone payment.
Recently, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and Technology jointly issued "Several Opinions on Strengthening the Transfer and Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements in Colleges and Universities", which also clearly stated that all proceeds should be kept by schools.
As the direct personnel of R&D, college teachers naturally get paid from it. For example, in the "Service Invention Bill" solicited opinions from the whole society in April 2065438+2005, it was proposed that at least 5% of the patent proceeds should be used as a reward for R&D personnel.
Some local governments have also promulgated corresponding incentive measures. For example, on July 6, 2006, the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government issued the "Implementation Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the System and Mechanism of Talent Development and Promoting the Transformation and Development Driven by Comprehensive Innovation Reform", which stipulated: "The profits from the transformation of scientific and technological achievements of scientific and technological personnel in institutions of higher learning and research institutes shall be owned by the person who completed the achievements and his team at a rate of not less than 70% ..."
Now everyone has accepted the fact that singers and movie stars earn a high salary and corporate executives earn a million dollars a year, but they can't accept the fact that university teachers can also earn a high salary. This matter is really worth thinking about.
We have been saying that China is a big manufacturing country, and the government has been committed to transforming China's economy from the traditional low-tech labor-intensive to the high-tech and high-value-added economy. But how can we achieve this goal if we don't respect the foundation of scientific and technological innovation-talents?
Everyone has been saying that China can't retain talents and China people have no innovation. The increase of college teachers' income is precisely the expression of society's demand for talents. If you can't accept the fact that college teachers are paid well, why complain that China has no innovation?
