This book examines minban teacher policies and their implementation
in China between 1949 and 2000, when rural areas were in severe
shortage of qualified teachers. During this period of time, minban
teachers made great contributions to education, doing the same work
as state-employed school teachers while receiving much lower
salaries due to non-official status. With solid fieldwork on oral
history of minban teachers and policy actors and deep examination
of a wealth of policy documents in private and governmental
archives, the author records the life history of minban teachers,
the process of minban teacher policies, and the interaction between
policies and individual strategies in M county (pseudonym), located
in northern Jiangsu province of China. The book reveals many
interesting and sometimes surprising findings about the
characteristics of educational policy implementation in China.
While China's minban teacher policies have come to an end, rural
education continues to be a major concern of policymakers and
researchers alike. The book is an important piece of scholarship
for the readers interested in rural education in China, and in how
state, society, and culture interact to influence teacher policies
and management in the Chinese context.
