GD&TĐ - On the morning of July 11, the Office of the President announced the President's Order promulgating the Law on Teachers.

In addition to the Law on Teachers, the Office of the President also announced the President's Order along with eight other laws passed by the 15th National Assembly, 9th Session.

Introducing the Law on Teachers, Permanent Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong said that on June 16, 2025, the 15th National Assembly passed the Law on Teachers with 94.35% of the delegates present in favor. This is the first specialized law that fully regulates the legal status, rights, obligations and policies for the team of more than one million teachers nationwide.

The Law consists of 9 chapters and 42 articles, effective from January 1, 2026, focusing on 5 major policies: Identification of teachers; standards and titles; use, treatment and working conditions; training, fostering and honoring; role of state management.

The notable new point is that for the first time, non-public teachers are recognized as a specialized practitioner, with similar professional standards, rights and obligations, not just as contract workers as before. The law affirms the key role of teachers, while expanding the right to participate in scientific research, technology transfer, and startups.

The law stipulates that teachers' salaries are ranked highest in the administrative and career salary scale system. Additional allowances for disadvantaged areas, housing rental, training, periodic health care, and attracting high-quality human resources are added.

In addition, the Law merges two systems of standards (professional titles and professional standards) into one system of titles associated with professional capacity standards, applied uniformly to both public and non-public sectors.
