The Ministry of Education recently announced new regulations for the “investigation of unqualified teachers”, which stipulates that all school board investigation teams will be recruited from outside and will no longer include school staff. The National Education Federation criticized that the actions of the Ministry of Education amounted to destroying school professionalism and creating distrust between teachers and students, and called on Minister of Education Pan Wenzhong not to announce the policy of “hatred of teachers and destruction of schools” before leaving office. The educational disaster caused by the education reform thirty years ago has not yet been resolved, and soon there was an explosion of accusations from teacher groups dissatisfied with the Ministry of Education who “hate teachers and destroy schools”; and teaching environment make core teachers so worried and angry?
The Ministry of Education simultaneously announced changes to the measures for dismissal, non-renewal, suspension or dismissal of teachers in schools below high school and the guidelines for the prevention and control of school bullying. The first aims to modify the mechanism for treating unqualified teachers; the second distinguishes harassment on campus into “student-to-student” and “teacher-to-student” harassment. “Teacher-to-student” harassment will also apply to unqualified teachers. .processing mechanism. The new system aims to consolidate the investigation and processing mechanism in the hope of reducing the burden on schools. Therefore, the reasons for teachers to stop violating the law are clearly defined, and teachers are encouraged and assured to only actively supervise and discipline students. when the situation of dismissal, non-renewal or suspension is obvious, an investigation team must be formed. These regulations themselves aren’t too controversial, but with concerns regarding school safety and bullying prevention, it’s hard to say whether the new regulations can be implemented without problems.
The problem is that the new system for dealing with unqualified teachers requires that the investigation team be “entirely recruited from outside”, which immediately sparked a long-running feud between the teachers’ group, the Ministry of Education and the Humanist Foundation. The Ministry of Education and the Humanist Foundation said the new regulations exclude teachers to prevent “teachers from protecting each other”; they do not hide their distrust of teachers; Such a targeted revision of the law chills the hearts of basic teachers. The National Education Federation pointed out that “teacher-hating” education policies and laws bind teachers and destroy mutual trust between teachers and teachers. “Defending teachers is like guarding once morest thieves” also depletes schools and leads to educational waste.
The Foundation for Humanistic Education cited several cases that prove that the school board’s current investigation team is not sufficiently neutral due to the conflicting identity of the same teacher at the school; the content of the investigation report violates the law and also highlights the problem of lack of professionalism. The General Principles of Education believe that problems should be dealt with on a case-by-case basis and that new rules should not be introduced all the time; some unqualified teachers must of course be actively dealt with, but not all educational personnel should be treated as imaginary enemies. All members of the investigation team are hired from outside, which amounts to denying the school’s specializations; and outside staff don’t understand the campus ecology, how can they make the most appropriate decision?
At the end of last year, the case of a high school student who was slashed in the neck shocked society, which best illustrates the helplessness and anger of teachers who are not trusted but must take responsibility their responsibilities. After the neck-cutting case, Pan Wenzhong demanded that schools pay attention to handling student smuggling, which angered rank-and-file teachers. The reason is that schools can be held responsible for checking school bags and the disciplinary rights of teachers have almost been confiscated. In particular, last year, the Fan Yun Green Committee and the Humanist Foundation exerted political pressure on a higher vocational school which searched students’ luggage in front of the graduation camp, which prevented the school to tackle the problem of students transporting contraband. How can teachers not be angry when their disciplinary power is limited, professionals are not trusted, and schools are held responsible for accidents involving students?
It cannot be denied that there are indeed a small number of unqualified teachers who are not treated properly and are therefore suspected of “teacher protection”. However, completely excluding people within the school would be overkill; outsiders do not understand the ecology of the school and relevant decisions are likely biased. Additionally, the change in the composition of the investigation team immediately created a crisis of trust between society and teachers. Regardless of the results of the investigation, it was a lose-lose situation. The new school bullying prevention system stipulates that at least half of the treatment team must be recruited from outside, which constitutes a practice worthy of reference.
In fact, the shackles of teachers are not limited to the mechanism of incompetent teachers? Many rank-and-file teachers have long been tortured by excessive complaints and complicated treatment procedures, both physically and mentally. Educational policies are becoming more and more strict, the educational environment is becoming more and more hostile, and political interference is becoming more and more unscrupulous; the teaching profession is not respected, the Ministry of Education does not support it and parents do not trust them. Many teachers don’t even dare to discipline students, and there will be What courage “does the teacher and the teacher protect each other”? What they have is only grief and anger at education authorities who “hostilize teachers and destroy schools.”
Pan Wenzhong failed to complete the Tsai government’s extubation mission and died and was resurrected. Even if he has not broken the backbone of universities, he must not destroy primary and secondary schools before resigning.
