Retired teachers have nothing to do? The Ministry of Education has launched the Silver Age Lecture Program, subsidizing 20,000 to make your old age productive.
Usually, most people are happy about retirement. However, part of the teachers, even if retired, is still in the stage of strength, retirement instead of letting them have nothing to do, in fact, is a great waste of educational talent and educational resources. In the August 31st press conference of the Ministry of Education, Wang Dinghua, director of the Ministry of Education Teachers' Work Department, introduced the national plan to launch the Silver Age Lecture Program, which will enroll 1,800 retired teachers this year, and 10,000 retired teachers each year in the future, so that retired teachers can continue to play a role in their spare time and have a role to play.
What is the Silver Age Lecture Program
The so-called Silver Age Lecture Program is to allow these retired teachers to attend classes in the old revolutionary areas, ethnic areas, and primary and secondary schools in remote areas, or to teach demonstration classes in primary and secondary schools in these areas, or to organize teaching research with other local teachers, so that the experience of the retired teachers can be passed on to the younger generation of teachers through teaching by word and example and also to benefit primary and secondary school students in various places. The experience of retired teachers is passed on to the younger generation of teachers through teaching and teaching, and also benefits primary and secondary school students everywhere. In order to implement this program, through the state subsidies at all levels, each retired teacher participating in the Silver Age Lecture Program will receive no less than 20,000 yuan per year.
Why the Silver Age Lecturing Program
The Silver Age Lecturing Program has a very important meaning. In everyday life, there are many people who look forward to retirement and a large percentage of people who do not want to retire. Not everyone who retires wants to take their grandchildren or travel east to see the west. Some people are so used to working that they age particularly fast after they have unloaded their baggage, and instead they wish to remain in their jobs. There are also some people who do have the inner passion to serve the country and society. Especially some of the old teachers, who have reached the age of retirement, the passion for work is still there. Therefore, the organization of this part of the teachers to give play to their spare time, is the embodiment of the full use of educational resources.
Significance of the Silver Age Lecturing Program
The old cadres are the wealth of the society, and the old teachers are also the wealth of the society. The teaching profession is not the same as other professions. Older people in other professions, in many cases, are no longer working in front-line positions. But most people in the teaching profession, basically live to teach to the old, have always been active in the work of the front line. Therefore, the older the teacher, the more rich teaching experience he or she has, and once he or she retires, this teaching experience will be taken away with him or her. Therefore, it is of great benefit to the development of education at the grassroots level to allow old teachers who still have energy and passion to continue to apply their work experience to their teaching posts.
