Teachers need better salaries

To ensure the income of teachers, they should be paid directly from the country's financial revenues, says an article in Wuhan Evening Post. The following is an excerpt:

Guangdong province in South China will strive to level the income of rural teachers with that of their urban counterparts as well as civil servants. The provincial government also plans to carry out the social security system for rural teachers so that their working and living conditions can be bettered, according to Luo Wei, the education bureau chief of Guangdong province.

The proposal that the salaries of teachers should not be lower than those of civil servants has in fact been raised in China for many years and also has been included into legal documents.
