China will train village teachers to teach a broader variety of subjects to cover for a shortage of teaching staff, said a senior education official last Tuesday.
一位高级教育官员上周二表示，我国将培养能教授更多科目的乡村教师，以解决教师短缺的问题。
Liu Limin, vice minister of education, said at a press conference that the biggest challenge facing village schools was the insufficient number of teachers, particularly of music, physical education, art, foreign languages and computer science.
教育部副部长刘利民在新闻发布会上说道，农村学校所面临的最大问题就是师资不足，尤其缺少音乐、体育、美术、外语、计算机科学类教师。

China wants versatile teachers who will be able to perform multiple roles, just like general practitioners in the medical field, Liu said, citing a guideline the State Council issued on keeping the development of compulsory education in villages commensurate with that in cities at county level.
刘利民援引国务院发布的《关于统筹推进县域内城乡义务教育一体化改革发展的若干意见》称，我国需要的是像医疗领域里的全科医生一样、"一专多能"的"全科教师"。
The guideline set the objective of compulsory eduction developing at the same pace as urbanization by 2020, meaning significant progress must be achieved in village elementary schools, junior high schools and boarding schools.
这一《意见》制定了到2020年实现城镇化和义务教育同步发展的目标，意味着我国在乡村小学、初中和寄宿学校方面须取得显著进展。
It also said village school teachers should enjoy a steadily increasing income.
此外，该《意见》还指出，农村学校的教师应该享受到稳定增长的收入。
