Abstract
Beijing, April 7—The director of a research institute here made a novel proposal the other day: he suggested that full professors receive the same salary as waitresses at the nearby Shangri-La Hotel. There is little chance that the Government will approve the proposal, which would involve huge pay increases for the professors. But his idea underscores the humble circumstances of teachers in China, contributing to what is widely perceived today as a crisis in education. A professor in China averages $39.50 a month, a bit less than the average for employees in Chinese business enterprises, and much less than taxi drivers or waitresses at international hotels.
