Ministry of Education and Training: "Special salary coefficient" does not disrupt the current salary system

Maintaining the view that the "special salary coefficient" for teachers is a well-founded policy solution, the Ministry of Education and Training affirmed that the regulation of the "special salary coefficient" does not disrupt the design of the current salary system, and the salary scale for teachers still uses the common salary scale for civil servants of public service units.

On November 14, the Ministry of Education and Training responded to the opinion that the proposal for a "special salary coefficient" in the draft has no legal basis and disrupts the design of the salary system.

The proposal for a "special salary coefficient" stipulated in the draft Decree regulating salary policy and allowance regime for teachers is being developed by the Ministry of Education and Training and is widely soliciting opinions.

According to the Ministry of Education and Training, over the past 29 years, the policy of "teachers' salaries are given the highest priority in the administrative career salary scale system" and in addition to salaries, teachers "have additional allowances depending on the nature of work, by region" has always been identified as a consistent task and solution in the resolutions and conclusions of the Party: Resolution of the Second Conference of the 8th Party Central Committee in 1996 on strategic orientation for education and training development in the period of industrialization and modernization; Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW in 2013 on fundamental and comprehensive innovation of education and training; Conclusion No. 91-KL/TW in 2024 on continuing to implement Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW; Most recently, Resolution 71-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in education development, which clearly states: "There are special and outstanding preferential policies for teachers".

These are important political bases for the National Assembly to stipulate that "Teachers' salaries are ranked highest in the administrative career salary scale system" at Point a, Clause 1, Article 23 of the Law on Teachers and stipulate "Preferential allowances for jobs and other allowances according to the nature of work, according to the region as prescribed by law" at Point b, Clause 1, Article 23 of the Law on Teachers. From there, establish a legal basis for the Government to concretize the contents in the Decree regulating salary policies and allowance regimes for teachers as required by the National Assembly.

“Thus, the “special salary coefficient” is a specific policy solution to implement “Teachers' salaries are ranked highest in the administrative career salary scale system”, with political and legal basis”, said the Ministry of Education and Training.

The Ministry of Education and Training also affirmed that the regulation of "special salary coefficient" does not disrupt the design of the current salary system because the special salary coefficient is only used to calculate the salary level (which is the basic salary calculated according to the current salary coefficient) according to the formula:

Basically, with this calculation method, the salary scale of teachers still uses the general salary scale for civil servants of public service units, only with an additional special coefficient to ensure the principle that "teachers' salaries are ranked highest in the administrative career salary scale".

The “special salary coefficient” does not break the structure of the current salary system. When implementing the new salary policy, the conversion is still guaranteed to be convenient and maintain the special coefficient for teachers.

According to the Ministry of Education and Training, the "special salary coefficient" is also not used to calculate the allowance level, not used to calculate the amount of the reserved difference coefficient according to Circular No. 07/2024/TT-BNV dated July 5, 2024 of the Ministry of Home Affairs guiding the implementation of the basic salary level for salary and allowance recipients in agencies, organizations, and public service units of the Party, the State, the Vietnam Fatherland Front, socio-political organizations and associations. Therefore, the "special salary coefficient" does not break the structure of the current salary system. On the other hand, when implementing the new salary policy, the conversion is still guaranteed to be convenient and retain the special coefficient for teachers.
