According to the draft Decree, teachers are expected to enjoy a special salary coefficient in addition to the salary and allowance regimes that teachers currently enjoy.

Specifically, the draft Decree currently stipulates that “Teachers are entitled to preferential allowances according to their profession, seniority allowances for teachers and other allowances as prescribed by law. The beneficiaries of allowances, the allowance levels, and the method of calculating allowances shall comply with the provisions of law and the provisions of this Decree”.

Regarding the roadmap and resources for implementing the increase in vocational allowances, Minister Nguyen Kim Son said that, to specify the provisions in Resolution 71-NQ/TW, the Ministry is developing a Decree regulating vocational allowances for civil servants and employees working in public educational institutions.

In which, it is proposed to implement the increase of preferential vocational allowances according to a roadmap, including two phases.

In phase 1 from 2026-2030, the Ministry is proposing to add 20% allowances for school staff; increase 15% for teachers at all levels of preschool and general education, and increase 5% of preferential allowances for teachers and lecturers at universities and vocational training institutions.

Phase 2, from 2031 onwards, the implementation of preferential allowances according to profession for preschool and general education teachers will be applied according to the provisions of Resolution No. 71-NQ/TW.

Regarding the roadmap, the Ministry of Education and Training is currently coordinating with the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Finance to develop a Government Decree, expected to be submitted to the Government for approval in 2025 to ensure timely implementation at the same time as the Law on Teachers.

Regarding resources, Minister Nguyen Kim Son said: “When implementing, the State budget will be arranged in the annual plan and we also hope that localities will be more proactive in balancing and prioritizing education, so that this policy can truly come into life, contributing to improving life, creating motivation for teachers to feel secure in their work, sticking with the profession for a long time, thereby improving the quality of education and spreading the humanistic values of Resolution 71”.
