馬雲基金會宣佈斥資3億培養中國鄉村教育家

The Jack Ma Foundation has pledged to spend at least 300 million yuan in the next decade to staff rural schools with qualified teachers.

馬雲公益基金會承諾，在未來10年裏，將至少投入3億元爲鄉村學校培育合格教師。

The foundation unveiled its Jack Ma Rural Pre-Service Teacher Initiative, which aims to draw graduates from normal universities to countryside schools on a five-year program.

該基金會日前發佈了爲期五年、旨在吸引師範大學畢業生到鄉村學校任教的“馬雲鄉村師範生”計劃。

This is the foundation's third initiative supporting rural education development.

這是馬雲公益基金會啓動的第3個支持鄉村教育發展的倡議。

For the first phase, starting Jan 21, the foundation said it will cooperate with universities in Hunan, Sichuan and Jilin as well as Chongqing, and channel 100 graduates to villages in the four regions.

該基金會稱，第一階段將於1月21日啓動，屆時基金會將與湖南、四川、吉林、重慶的高校合作，將100名畢業生送往這4個地區的村莊。

Each successful applicant will receive 100,000 yuan in addition to their salary, it said.

該基金會透露，每位成功的申請者除薪資外還將收到10萬元。

To encourage program fellows to stay in rural schools, the foundation has pledged to provide online and offline refresher courses, and allocate mentors to advise on teaching and career development.

爲鼓勵項目參與者留在鄉村學校，馬雲公益基金會承諾提供在線和線下的進修課程，並配備導師提供教學和職業發展方面的建議。
