Issuing new regulations on standards and conditions for considering promotion of teachers' professional titles

NDO - The Ministry of Education and Training has just issued Circular No. 13/2024/TT-BGDDT stipulating standards and conditions for considering promotion of professional titles of public preschool and general education teachers and university preparatory teachers with many new points, effective from December 15.

The new Circular replaces Circular No. 34/2021/TT-BGDDT dated November 30, 2021 of the Ministryof Education and Training stipulating the standards and conditions for examination or promotion; content, form and determination of successful candidates in the examination for promotion of professional titles of public preschool and general education teachers.

The Circular has a number of new regulations and adjustments compared to previous regulations. Specifically, the new regulations will not stipulate standards and conditions for promotion exams because the Government has abolished the promotion exam format; the content, format and determination of successful candidates in the promotion exam will not be stipulated because the Government has specified in detail in Decree No. 85/2023/ND-CP.

In addition, the new Circular specifically stipulates the standards and conditions for registration for promotion to grade II and grade I for preschool teachers, general education teachers, and university preparatory teachers.

The Ministry of Education and Training said that, at the request of the Government, to ensure the requirements of improving the quality of the team, in addition to the standards and conditions prescribed in Clause 1, Article 32 of Decree No. 115/2020/ND-CP, which was amended and supplemented in Clause 16, Article 1 of Decree No. 85/2023/ND-CP, the Ministry of Education and Training added a number of standards and conditions as follows:

Regarding the quality classification criteria during the working period: During the time holding the professional title of Grade III teacher and equivalent, there are 2 years (for preschool) and 3 years (for general education, university preparation) of work immediately before the year of consideration for promotion to the professional title with quality classified at the level of "Completing tasks well" or higher. During the time holding the professional title of Grade II teacher and equivalent, there are 5 years before the year of consideration for promotion to the professional title with quality classified at the level of "Completing tasks well" or higher, of which at least 2 years are classified at the level of "Completing tasks excellently".

According to the guidance of the Ministry of Home Affairs on determining the structure of professional titles of civil servants in Official Dispatch No. 64/BNV-CCVC dated January 5, 2024, for public service units that partially self-insure regular expenses and public service units whose regular expenses are guaranteed by the state budget, the maximum proportion of professional titles of grade I must not exceed 10%, the maximum proportion of professional titles of grade II and equivalent must not exceed 50%. Therefore, the criteria for quality classification in the Circular are consistent with the requirements on the structure of professional titles according to the guidance of the Ministry of Home Affairs, ensuring the selection of worthy teachers, whose contributions are recognized and who have made efforts to develop their careers during the time they hold the rank.

Regarding the emulation titles and commendation achievements in the standards and conditions for professional and technical competence to register for the first-class consideration: These are the emulation titles and commendation achievements achieved during the time holding the second-class position. This regulation is to ensure that 1 emulation title and achievement cannot be used simultaneously in two times of promotion from class III to class II and from class II to class I; at the same time, to ensure that teachers continue to make efforts and strive throughout the time holding the position.

According to the Ministry of Education and Training, specific regulations on determining the time to hold an equivalent professional title create favorable conditions for localities in calculating the time to hold the next lower rank when teachers register to participate in promotion to a professional title.

The provisions of Circular No. 13/2024/TT-BGDDT stipulating standards and conditions for considering promotion of professional titles of public preschool and general education teachers and university preparatory teachers will be an important legal basis for localities to continue implementing the promotion of professional titles, ensuring the rights of teachers.
