Abstract

As a key policy to promote the balanced distribution of educational resources and realise educational equity, the teacher rotation system aims to alleviate the disparity in the level of teachers between urban and rural areas and among schools through the rational allocation of teacher resources. With the perspective of better achieving educational equity, this paper systematically comprehends the implementation status and experience of the teacher rotation system at home and abroad through literature reading and analysis. It is found that although the teacher rotation system plays a significant role in promoting educational equity, there are still challenges in the implementation process, such as teachers' adaptation difficulties, schools' conflict of interest, and imperfect supporting measures. In response to these problems, this paper proposes optimisation paths, including providing policy support to help teachers adapt to the new environment, strengthening publicity to enhance public acceptance, and improving monitoring mechanisms to ensure the effectiveness of policy implementation. The conclusion stresses that the effective implementation of the teacher rotation system requires the joint efforts of the government, schools, teachers and all sectors of the society, so as to promote the balanced development of education and achieve educational equity through the continuous optimisation of the system design and supporting measures.

Keywords: teacher rotation system; educational equity; resource balance; challenges and optimisation; policy implementation.
