The Evolution of Rural Teacher Policy in the Past Century: Trajectory, Logic and Orientation

Rural teachers are the key for the development of rural education, it is also the main force to carry out the rural revitalization strategy, so it is of great practical significance to comb the rural teachers' policy since the founding of the party. With the aid of the analytical method of historical institutionalism, from the perspective of structure and history, this paper analyses the characteristics of the evolution of rural teachers' policy, the characteristics of path dependence and the classical factors that contribute to path dependence, as well as the key nodes that lead to the break of the system. It is found that the rural teachers, as the object of the policy, have gradually moved from the shadow of the relevant policy to the right position, and the policy content has realized the conditional attraction from the compulsory policy guidance to the material care; the policy tool system has formed the multi-domain policy union by the single education policy; the policy spirit of rural teachers has changed from mainly satisfying political needs, seeking the instrumental role of teachers and education to pursue the ontological function of teachers and education. However, at present, the multi-dimensional linkage policy tool effect has not been put into effect, and the role orientation of rural teachers has not yet reached its proper height, we will promote change that addresses both the symptoms and root causes, and that addresses both the symptoms and root causes.
