Hi, Kitos. Could you check it? Thank you very much~
The best way to improve the quality of education is to increase teachers’ salaries.
Some people may think if a government wants to improve an education system, the best way is to increase teachers’ salaries. However, according to my personal experience, I disagree with this idea because of the following reasons.
First of all, high salaries do not mean that teacher will teach better. High salaries may attract more people to be teachers. I believe there will be more and more smart teachers, if teachers’ salaries. However, a smart teacher may not be a good teacher. They may not like teaching or children, but just like money. Therefore, I do not think increase teachers’ salaries will improve the quality of education a lot.
Second, to help teachers teach better, government should spend money on training teachers. Some teachers like teaching very much, but they do have good teaching skills. Hence, government can provide some courses to them to teach them how to teach. For example, my math teacher in the elementary school was very good at math, but he did not understand children. If he had taken some children psychology courses, I think he could teach better.
Third, spending money on scholarships to students and schools’ equipment is important, too. Having good teachers is not enough for a good education system. It should also include good students and good environment. For example, scholarships can increase students’ will to study, because students do not need to worry about money and work. Furthermore, good equipment, like a library, helps student to have a place and resources to study.
In conclusion, I do not think the best way to improve the quality of education is to increase teachers’ salaries. It is better to spend money on training teachers, scholarships and schools’ equipment.
