It indicated to carrv out merit nay in compulsory education schools from January 1,2009 and ensure that average wage of compulsory education teachers is not less than the average wage level of local civil servants. Till now merit pay has been implemented for more than two years, and it played a certain role in achieving goals of promoting educational equity, improving the quality of education etc.. However, due to multiple factors, the reform also brought a lot of management conflicts to schools.
