我國將培養全科型教師 以解決教師短缺問題

China will train village teachers to teach a broader variety of subjects to cover for a shortage of teaching staff, said a senior education official last Tuesday.

一位高級教育官員上週二表示，我國將培養能教授更多科目的鄉村教師，以解決教師短缺的問題。

Liu Limin, vice minister of education, said at a press conference that the biggest challenge facing village schools was the insufficient number of teachers, particularly of music, physical education, art, foreign languages and computer science.

教育部副部長劉利民在新聞發佈會上說道，農村學校所面臨的最大問題就是師資不足，尤其缺少音樂、體育、美術、外語、計算機科學類教師。

China wants versatile teachers who will be able to perform multiple roles, just like general practitioners in the medical field, Liu said, citing a guideline the State Council issued on keeping the development of compulsory education in villages commensurate with that in cities at county level.

劉利民援引國務院發佈的《關於統籌推進縣域內城鄉義務教育一體化改革發展的若干意見》稱，我國需要的是像醫療領域裏的全科醫生一樣、"一專多能"的"全科教師"。

The guideline set the objective of compulsory eduction developing at the same pace as urbanization by 2020, meaning significant progress must be achieved in village elementary schools, junior high schools and boarding schools.

這一《意見》制定了到2020年實現城鎮化和義務教育同步發展的目標，意味着我國在鄉村小學、初中和寄宿學校方面須取得顯著進展。

It also said village school teachers should enjoy a steadily increasing income.

此外，該《意見》還指出，農村學校的教師應該享受到穩定增長的收入。
