教师是国家发展基石的奠基者。温家宝总理在《全国教育工作者会议上的讲话》中曾说:“如果说教育是国家发展的基石,教师就是奠基者。”教师队伍素质是教育发展的根本因素。素质教育是一种用心的教育,是一种要求很高、实施难度很大的教育,这对教师的素质提出了很高的要求。没有教师素质的提高,就没有学生素质的提高,也就没有素质教育的深度实施。 Teachers are the founders of the cornerstone of national development. In his speech at the National Educators’ Meeting, Premier Wen Jiabao said: “If education is the cornerstone of national development, teachers are the founders.” The quality of teachers is a fundamental factor in the development of education. Quality education is a kind of hard-edged education, which is a kind of education that is very demanding and difficult to implement. This puts forward very high requirements on the quality of teachers. Without the improvement of the quality of teachers, there is no improvement in the quality of students, there is no depth of implementation of quality education.
