Prevent the phenomenon of extra teaching and learning
On the morning of June 9, the National Assembly Standing Committee gave opinions on receiving, explaining, and revising the draft Law on Teachers.
In the report on reception and explanation, Chairman of the Committee for Culture and Society Nguyen Dac Vinh said that there were opinions suggesting adding regulations prohibiting teachers from giving extra lessons in violation of the law, prohibiting extra lessons for students that teachers are directly teaching; clarifying that organizations and individuals are not allowed to post or disseminate information about teachers.

The Standing Committee of the Committee believes that the draft law does not prohibit extra teaching and learning, but only stipulates that teachers are not allowed to force students to participate in extra learning in any form in order to limit and overcome the widespread situation of extra teaching and learning.
" The Ministry of Education and Training has issued a document regulating extra teaching and learning, which stipulates that teachers are not allowed to give extra lessons to students they are directly teaching," said Mr. Vinh.
Regarding this regulation, Chairman of the Delegation Work Committee Nguyen Thanh Hai clearly stated that the nature of extra study and extra teaching is a real and legitimate need, however, the important thing is not to take advantage of it.
According to her, since the circular regulating extra teaching and learning was issued, provinces and cities have paid great attention and provided specific instructions, but there are still variations. There are cases where teachers teach online and still collect money.

“I am also very concerned, some people ask why doctors can examine after hours? But in reality, there is no concept of additional examination, only the concept of additional teaching. Therefore, the concept of additional teaching is very specific,” emphasizing this, Ms. Hai suggested that there should be clearer regulations on additional teaching and learning.
Sharing the same concern, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Tran Quang Phuong commented that the draft's use of the phrase "no coercion" is very good. "If you want to coerce, there are many variations: forcing to submit an application, forcing to go to my school, not to go to that school... The important thing is for our management to be able to distinguish between coercion and non-coercion, while respecting the right to study of students and parents," said Mr. Phuong.
Teachers' salaries are 2-3 times higher, must be "calculated very carefully"
Regarding teachers' salaries and allowances, the auditing agency said that teachers in public educational institutions are civil servants, so teachers' salaries are implemented according to the administrative career salary scale.
According to Mr. Nguyen Dac Vinh, the regulation that teachers receive the highest salary and allowances is an institutionalization of the Politburo's policy. This content is basically not contrary to the spirit of Resolution 27-NQ/TW on reforming salary policy.

At the meeting, Chairman of the Economic and Financial Committee Phan Van Mai said that the draft law needs to highlight the vocation of teachers. According to Mr. Mai, the Politburo is directing the development of two resolutions on the fields of education and health. Therefore, there needs to be a legal framework and national policies to select the best people to become teachers and doctors.
Regarding teachers' salaries, Mr. Mai said that there must be a very clear attitude, not to rank teachers' salaries at the highest level, but to have a double or triple salary system to select the most excellent people.
Giving his opinion, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Tran Quang Phuong said that teachers' salaries are a regime, and the regulation that they are ranked at the highest level in the administrative salary scale is enough, besides that there are many types of allowances. "Now we demand a higher level, double or triple, but it is related to the issue of budget spending on education," said Mr. Phuong.

After receiving and explaining, Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son said that the desire to increase teachers' salaries by 2-3 times must be "calculated very carefully".
“With 1.2 million teachers, just a little increase would require a very careful budget calculation, it cannot be stated specifically like that. However high it is, it must be considered, in addition to the desire, there must be budget feasibility, and a roadmap. The law sets out such principles so that in the process of calculating teachers' salaries, there is a basis for doing so,” said Mr. Son.
Regarding extra teaching and learning, the Minister said that the regulations on what teachers are not allowed to do first of all reflect the views on teachers' ethics rather than being technical regulations.
“Why is it stipulated that teachers cannot force students to teach extra lessons who have already been taught in class? Because in their duty to perform their duties, teachers must complete the task of equipping their students with knowledge during regular school hours. If they are allowed to continue teaching the content of their duty to do and take it home, it will lead to distortion and the teacher will not fulfill his duty,” Mr. Son explained.
According to Minister Son, teachers have the right to teach their own students in school for subjects such as weak students, good students, and students preparing for graduation exams. "Such regulations are to strictly implement public service responsibilities, teachers must fulfill all their responsibilities," said Mr. Son.
