人口减少 导致小学人数锐减 一地宣布：各小学不再续聘非编老师

Core Viewpoint - The recent teacher resource allocation issue in Yongxin County, Jiangxi Province, has drawn public attention due to the abnormal exam scores of rural primary school teachers being assigned to rural junior high schools [1][2]. Group 1: Teacher Resource Allocation - Yongxin County has decided not to renew contracts for non-staff teachers in primary schools due to an oversupply of teachers at that level, attributed to a decrease in population and student numbers [2][3]. - The county's education bureau stated that only primary school teachers are in surplus, while there is no surplus in other educational stages [3][4]. Group 2: Examination and Recruitment Issues - There have been reports of non-staff teachers being dismissed without clear reasons, with the education bureau asserting that all actions comply with labor laws and that there is no coercion involved [2][4]. - Anomalies in the recruitment process were highlighted, where some candidates with scores below 10 were admitted to rural junior high schools, raising concerns about the fairness of the selection process [5][6]. Group 3: Policy and Future Implications - The county's approach to reallocating teachers from primary to junior high schools is part of a broader trend seen in various regions, aiming to address teacher shortages in junior high schools without increasing the number of teaching positions [7][8]. - Experts suggest that while reallocating primary school teachers to junior high schools may help alleviate shortages, it requires careful evaluation of individual teachers' capabilities to ensure effective teaching [8].
