| Abstract: | It has been over ten years since the Teacher’s Law took effect on January 1, 1994, and its promulgation and implementation have somewhat helped in protecting teachers’ legal
rights and interests. Undeniably, however, the Teacher’s Law is defective in many aspects, such as the absence of teachers’ legal identity, its failure to safeguard a teacher’s essential
interests and rights, serious laggardness of the teacher’s appointment system and obstacles to dealing with teachers’ complaints
and litigations. All such defectiveness make the legislative purpose “to safeguard the teacher’s legal rights and interests”
in Article 1 of the Teacher’s Law less effective in practice. Therefore, in order to judicially assist teachers in safeguarding their own legal rights and
interests, it is necessary to modify the Teacher’s Law and especially give priorities to: (1) defining the identity of the state staff member for teachers; (2) treating teachers
owed to in arrears as peasant-workers, and paying and remunerating them punctually (3) formulating detailed measures on the
implementation of the teacher’s appointment system as soon as possible, solving problems of unemployment of teachers arising
from the inequality between the teacher’s rights, the school’s power and the absence of the teacher’s identity; (4) establishing
a lawsuit system connected with teachers’ complaints and personnel arbitration.
