[Reporter Lin Xiaoyun/Taipei Report] Due to the lack of legal protection of rights and interests, the university project teacher system known as "disposable chopsticks" was abused. The Control Yuan corrected the Ministry of Education last year.

In view of the fact that some schools account for more than 40% or even more than 60% of project teachers, the Ministry of Education has issued a "capping order". Starting from the 112th school year, no more project teachers will be added, and the ratio must be reduced year by year. By the 120th school year, all schools The upper limit of project teachers is 8%.

However, some project teachers are worried that the new system may cause a wave of job losses for project teachers.

The Board of Supervisors pointed out that the Ministry of Education has allowed universities to replace full-time teachers in the establishment with a large number of project teachers for a long time. In view of the high proportion of project teachers and the number of project teachers growing year by year, it is required to set a reasonable proportion and number of teachers.

Project teachers do not apply to the "Teacher Law", nor do they apply to the "Labor Standards Law". The term is limited to two years each time, and labor insurance should be provided. If the employment period expires and the employment is not renewed, the school must provide relief funds for up to six months according to labor retirement.

Schools that fail to meet the standards will deduct awards and subsidies

The Ministry of Education further stipulates that the employment rate of all schools should be reduced to below 8% starting from the 1920 school year.

Taking the example of a school whose employment ratio still exceeds 12% in the 112th academic year, it should be reduced to less than 12% in the 116th academic year, and then lowered to 8% in the 120th academic year. It also affects the calculation of the student-teacher ratio of the total enrollment. For those whose employment ratio has decreased compared with the previous academic year, a reward funding mechanism will be offered.

8 years of gradual adjustment will not cause a wave of unemployment

Will the new system lead to a wave of unemployment among project teachers?

Zeng Xinyuan, Special Committee of the Higher Education Department of the Ministry of Education, explained that the Ministry of Education encourages schools to hire more full-time teachers in the establishment and reduce the proportion of project teachers. The second phase of the Higher Education Intensive Cultivation Plan will start next year. Schools can use 20% of the personnel cost to hire new full-time teachers (including project teachers) to improve teaching quality and learning effectiveness.

Zeng Xinyuan emphasized that the recruitment of project teachers by universities should not replace full-time teachers or save school financial expenses. Schools with project teachers accounting for more than 8% can gradually adjust for at least eight years. Taking 15% of schools as an example, the annual estimated needs If one person is lowered, there will not be a large number of unemployment.
