The government will rearrange the salary scale of preschool and primary school teachers.

It is expected that the Ministry of Education and Training will advise the Government to rearrange the salary tables of some teacher positions to ensure consistency in the salary tables applied to professional titles of civil servants in other sectors and fields.

The Office of the President held a press conference this morning to announce the President's order promulgating the laws passed by the National Assembly at the 9th session.

At the press conference, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong introduced some new contents of the Law on Teachers.

The Deputy Minister said that the Law on Teachers improves income policies for teachers. In particular, teachers' salaries are ranked highest in the administrative career salary scale system.

Specifically, Article 23 of the Law on Teachers stipulates that “teachers’ salaries are ranked highest in the administrative career salary scale system” and assigns the Government to specify salary policies for teachers in detail. This is an important basis for the Government to have regulations related to teachers’ salaries to ensure the policy of “ranking highest”.

Currently, the Ministry of Education and Training is urgently developing and completing the draft Decree regulating salary policies, allowances, support and attraction regimes for teachers to ensure uniform effectiveness when the Law on Teachers comes into effect.

The Ministry of Education and Training will advise the Government to rearrange the salary tables of a number of teacher positions (such as preschool teachers, general education teachers, university preparatory teachers, grade IV vocationaleducation teachers, etc.) to ensure consistency in the salary tables applied to professional positions of teachers and civil servants and other sectors and fields; at the same time, ensure the living standards of teachers, helping teachers feel secure in their work and contribute to the cause of education.

In addition, according to the law, teachers are also entitled to additional allowances such as special allowances, responsibilities, incentives, subsidies for disadvantaged areas, subsidies for inclusive education, seniority, mobility, etc., contributing to increasing their overall income.

Preschool teachers can retire up to 5 years early

Deputy Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong stated that the Law on Teachers supplements policies to support and attract teachers who meet the requirements of high-quality human resources to work in the education sector.

The Law expands and consolidates the support policy system, emphasizing: support for public housing or rent for teachers in extremely difficult areas; periodic health benefits, training and professional development for all teachers, regardless of public or non-public; priority in recruitment, transfer and reception for teachers working in remote, border and island areas; attracting highly qualified people with good vocational skills to participate in teaching, especially in strategic areas such as science, technology, digital transformation and vocational education.

Preschool teachers who wish to retire early can retire up to 5 years without a reduction in pension (if they have paid social insurance for 15 years). Meanwhile, professors, associate professors, doctors or teachers working in specialized fields can retire at an older age to retain talent.

The Law on Teachers regulates the standardization of the teaching staff and its development, improving the quality of education. The law merges two systems of standards (professional titles and professional standards) into one system of titles associated with professional competency standards, applied uniformly to both public and non-public sectors.

According to the leaders of the Ministry of Education and Training, this is to create a common quality level for the entire team; ensure fairness in access to quality education for students. In addition, it increases transparency and accessibility in the assessment, selection and training of teachers. The law also stipulates that teacher recruitment must be linked to pedagogical practice, ensuring quality input, appropriate to each grade and training level.

In addition to the right to protection, teachers also have the responsibility to maintain professional ethics. Clearly defining sanctions for violations by teachers in professional activities contributes to raising the status of teachers, while maintaining pedagogical standards in the educational environment.

The Law on Teachers provides more complete regulations on policies on mobilization, secondment, transfer, inter-school and inter-level teaching for teachers in public educational institutions as a basis for arranging and assigning teachers in accordance with the characteristics of professional activities and the requirements of the education sector.

Mr. Thuong said that the industry-specific regulations that officials in other sectors and fields do not have, such as mobilization and transfer, have helped solve the problem of local surplus and shortage of teachers at preschool and general education levels in the recent past, while also contributing to improving the quality and capacity of the team.
