The Ministry of Education and Training plans to reorganize teacher training colleges by merging them into a teacher training college or a regional teacher training university, or merging them into a local university. Thus, by 2030, teacher training will no longer be provided at teacher training colleges and multidisciplinary colleges.

The above content belongs to the Draft planning of the network of higher education and pedagogical institutions for the period 2021 - 2030, with a vision to 2050 of the Ministry of Education and Training.

Lao Dong newspaper has a series of articles reflecting the lives of preschool teachers. In a very short sentence, "not enough to live on".

The salary of a newly graduated preschool teacher is only around 3.5 million VND/month, and 5-6 million VND for those with seniority. Who can "live" on this amount of money each month, not to mention having to take care of their family and children's education?

But kindergarten teachers have to live, because there is no other choice. Those who have other choices, they will leave.

In recent years, due to conditions not allowing, it is necessary to maintain teacher training colleges. But it is time for change, no later than 2030.

Mr. Hoang Minh Son said that currently, teacher training colleges are at a disadvantage because the only training major is preschool teacher training at college level. Therefore, the opportunity for development is very difficult.

One question is why is preschool teaching only a college level and not a university degree?

It is necessary to improve the qualifications of preschool teachers in order to improve the quality of preschool education. Preschool children need to be cared for and educated well and scientifically in order to develop physically and mentally at their age. To achieve that goal, it is necessary to improve the quality and qualifications of preschool teachers.

Preschool teachers have college degrees, raise their salaries so they can live on them.

Furthermore, in addition to teaching, preschool teachers also have to take care of children's food, sleep, and hygiene. They work harder, with toxic elements, so along with a salary increase comes a suitable allowance.
