Some failures about the pay scheme

The program was underfunded. It was designed so that there were no g

radations of merit, only “winners” and “losers”.

It gave rewards to teachers in the wealthiest schools more often than to those teaching the neediest students.

It created teacher morale problems stemming from the creation of unfair competition in a profession where cooperation and collaboration are valued.

Conclusion

Teachers are the most basic educational resource communities provide to students.

By assuring a competitive base salary, on-going professional development and an enhanced payment for staff development schedule, all students can be afforded equal access to well-prepared, qualified teachers.

Anything less will deny students access to the quality education that they deserve.

Staff development also becomes the more and more important program during these years.

The school district, XuHui Education Bureau, XuHui Institute of Education, schools and teachers will share the responsibility together.

One of the problems is the teachers’ stress still too strong.

The other obstacle is the insufficient fund.

A large population country is not equal to a country with enormous human resources .

It is no doubt the country which can improve into human resources country earlier will be more powerful and flourishing.

During the developing process, quality education will be the most significant reason.

The country, the school district, the Education Bureau and the individuals involved should think carefully together how to balance the expenditure and investment, to acquire the highest effectiveness and the success of teachers, students, parents, and then to construct and describe the blueprint of the future of our country.
