The best way to improve the quality of the education in a country is to increase teacher’s salary?
The author asserts that increasing teacher’s salary is the best way to improve the quality of the education. I cannot agree with this assertion. It is true that increasing teacher’s salary could make the occupation more attractive and competitive, which in turn is beneficial for choosing more excellent people as teacher. However, the author overstates the importance of the teacher’s salary to the whole education.
Admittedly, teachers play an important role in improving the quality of education because teacher the director factor for culturing students’ ability. To my observation and experience, a good teacher could transform knowledge by an easy understanding and interesting way and could attract students focus on the teacher’s topic naturally. In addition, a good teacher is good at culturing students’ ability of creation and imagination. I still remember that when I was in middle school, one math teacher always encouraged us to express our idea for solving the problem even if students’ results were wrong. To the contrary, there was a physics teacher always cut down one’s expression once students’ results were wrong or inconsistent with him. In the former teacher, he always finds the one’s good point; while the latter teacher only cares about if the result is right or not. Obviously, students will get apparently different education from those two teachers. So, teachers’ quality directly influences the quality of education.
However, it does not mean salary could improve the teachers’ quality. I concede that, aside the job itself, salary is one important factor affecting people choosing their jobs, and that a high salary job appears more compelling than a low one. I also admit that increasing teacher’s salary could make more people compete for a position, and that it is good for choosing outstanding teacher. Nevertheless, increasing salary is not the most effective way to enhance the quality of teacher, not mention to education. In my view, using scientific method to train the teacher is more effective than increasing salary. Let’s back to the example my physics and math teacher mentioned above. They had the same salary but different attitude to the students. It is obvious to see that their teaching methods had nothing to do with their salary. Even if increase the physics teacher’s salary, there is no guarantee that he will change his method. To the contrary, a training process could make him aware of his shortage in teaching and improve it. So, to improve education, an effective training plan to the teacher is better than increasing salary.
In addition, except enhancing the quality of teacher, I would like to mention that facilities of the school are equally important. For example, the university should at least provide adequate computer lab for computer major students, language lab for literature major students and so on. If a university cannot provide the basic condition for students study, a good education is no guarantee.
In sum, increasing salary only plays a small part role in improving the quality of education. The most effective way of improving quality of education is determined by comprehensive factors such as facilities, the quality of teachers and so on. |
