Rural teachers' story: Teaching in the daytime, moving bricks and building houses in the evenings to earn living expenses.
Xinhua net Beijing April (Xinhua) in the fiction writer Liu Cixin's novel "village teacher", an ordinary country teacher in the disease Under the circumstances of poverty, we insist on imparting knowledge to children, thus saving the fate of mankind. In the real world, China's ordinary rural teachers are also trying hard to change the fate of rural children under hard conditions.
when reporters first saw Zhao Lei, a village teacher, he was in a dilapidated classroom, holding dozens of mountain dolls to take a nap. Because the dormitory became a D level dangerous house, the children had to lie on their desks and sleep, while Zhao Lei was sitting beside the podium with a book in his hand.
Zhao Lei work, Zhangjiajie City, Hunan, Cili County, Gansu weir Tujia Township Center kindergarten, there are 132 children, the vast majority are left behind children. The daily guardians of these left behind children are teachers and nurses, a total of 5 people.
Hunan Cili county is located on the eastern edge of Wuling mountains. It is a minority inhabited area, and also a poverty-stricken Hunan county. It is a poverty alleviation area in Wuling mountain area. For rural teachers, poverty in the mountains means poor wages, hard food and lodging, shortage of teaching resources and lack of basic security. Zhao Lei became the only kindergarten teacher under 35 years old in Gan Yan township. Zhao Lei,
28, graduated from Cili County Teachers' training school a few years ago. That year, nearly 40 students graduated from the class, and only one of them chose to go back to work in Rural Kindergartens. He did not compile, there was no medical insurance, no five risks one gold, and one thousand yuan a month.
if he wanted to give the children an activity class, he had to dig for a safe space, because there was no function room in the kindergarten, and he had to work overtime to make the teaching aids, because the kindergarten could not afford to buy the building blocks. This is lost.
Zhang Chun, the principal of the Central School of Gansu weir Tujia Township, said that at present, there are no more than 100 young teachers in Cili County, and there is no young teacher in Gansu weir Township at the time of interview. All the young divisions have no medical insurance and five risks and one gold. "I can't get someone, but I can't keep it." There are more than 80 kindergarten teachers in the school of continuing education, and almost none in Rural Kindergartens. Zhang Chun said.
if all the country teachers in China overlap into an image, Zhao Lei is an epitome, and his situation is a plight of many teachers.
"I have a student. After graduation, I decided to go back to the countryside to be a teacher. But he is the least money man in the whole village. " The former principal of a provincial key middle school in Hunan told reporters that in order to supplement the life, the rural teacher had to teach the children of the villagers in the daytime. In the evening, they moved to the students' homes to move bricks, build houses and earn extra money to make up for their lives.
"such a survival situation, teaching children during the day, to work for parents in the evening to move bricks, where is the professional dignity of teachers?" The headmaster said.
