Abstract:: Based on the data from the policies from 1978 to 2018 concerning the development of the team of teachers working in rural areas, this paper uses the expert scoring method to establish a policy synergy evaluation model to evaluate the policy time synergy, department synergy and measure synergy of rural teacher team construction. The results show that the “thematic” policy of rural teacher team construction has become its main policy type. The formulation of rural teachers team construction policy has gradually changed from engaging a single department to involving a combination of related departments, showing the characteristic of “indirect synergy”. After 2012, the trend of synergy of policies and measures in rural teacher team building is obvious, and the “direction of increase and decrease” is basically the same. The degree of synergy between complementary policy measures and the other policy measures is obviously higher than that between the evaluation, treatment and training policy measures. Based on this, we propose improving the accuracy of policy support for the construction of the team of rural teachers; strengthening the authority of education administrative departments to coordinate the allocation of human resources for rural schools; and increasing the use of policies and measures to enhance the attraction of the teaching position in rural areas.
