There is a temporary shortage of primary and secondary school teachers in Hangzhou, which first appeared two years ago. In 20 14, the number of students enrolled in Hangzhou climbed for three consecutive years, and the newly recruited teachers entered the baby boom. The number of substitute teachers in the classroom has increased. Now, after the introduction of the comprehensive two-child policy, this tight string has been stretched again.

Why does the problem of teachers' pregnancy become a big problem in schools? This has a lot to do with the ratio of boys to girls in schools. For example, in 20 14 years, among the newly recruited teachers in Jianggan District of Hangzhou, the ratio of male to female was about 1: 7. In addition, due to the establishment of the teacher-student ratio, the school teachers are insufficient, basically maintaining a state of a radish and a pit.

"Originally, we had a rough estimate of the progress of the new teacher getting married and having children, and we could save for a rainy day. Now we can have two children, which is too unpredictable. " A principal said that this unpredictability is more prominent in primary schools and kindergartens, because middle school teachers have a higher entrance threshold, most of whom are graduate students. They are already in their twenties when they enter school, and they are older when they give birth to their first child. The two-child policy is less attractive to them. Teachers in primary schools and kindergartens are relatively young, and they have a greater sense of urgency to face the two children physically and psychologically.

So how can schools solve this problem now?

First of all, most schools think of "self-help". Temporarily mobilize the support of other teachers, such as Dongcheng Primary School, where a science teacher is pregnant and asks for leave, and her class is taken by other science teachers in turn. There are also classes for art teachers, supported by information technology teachers and class teachers, because it is impossible for other art teachers to be class teachers for 18 classes a week.

Obviously, not every course, every school can have the strength of "self-help".

More schools employ substitute teachers, which is the most common solution at present. It is not easy to find a substitute teacher. You can't be a good teacher without a teacher qualification certificate. As President Sharla Cheung said, it's good to find a substitute teacher to compete for personality. With luck, parents, students and schools will be satisfied. If you are unlucky, you can only keep changing.

Shangcheng District of Hangzhou tried to explore the incubator base for substitute teachers two years ago. The name of this institution is "Lan Xin Teachers Reserve Base". The reporter learned that there are currently 20 teachers in this base, mainly Chinese, math, English and science teachers in primary and junior high schools. Teachers in this base usually attend classes in Lan Xin society. Once the primary and secondary schools in Shangcheng District lack teachers, they will "support" them to occupy places.

Shangcheng Education Bureau is very supportive of this reserve base, and has opened a teacher training system to the base, where teachers can participate in the public teacher training program in Shangcheng. Teachers in the base can also participate in the evaluation, as well as a platform for professional title evaluation, and can also participate in project research. What makes the base teachers yearn for is that they can also take exams and become formal teachers. At present, two or three people have successfully achieved this goal.
