[Reporter Huang Shuli/Yunlin Report] Yunlin County Mayor Zhang Lishan announced today (20th) evening that the 750 acting teachers in the county will implement a full-year employment period from now on.

The Education Department of Yunlin County Government pointed out that at present, there are about 750 acting teachers in the county, including Gaoguo primary and secondary schools and kindergartens, who are eligible for full-year employment qualifications.

Zhang Lishan said that considering the students' right to education and financial difficulties, Yunlin County has already appointed acting teachers as tutors or part-time administrative work, lunch secretary, and cashier work to guide, train students, and engage in teaching activities during the summer vacation. After being approved by the government, there is a full year of employment.

Zhang Lishan said that the school’s acting teachers are hired for a full year, and the annual continuous personnel expenditure will cause financial burdens for all counties and cities, and reduce the allocation of various resources. However, under the priority of students’ right to education, Yunlin County will work hard to overcome it.

Zhang Lishan also appealed to the central government, pointing out that subsidies should be provided according to the financial level of each county and city, so as to reduce the local burden and prevent the widening gap between urban and rural areas from affecting the fairness of education.
