The number of applicants for teaching positions in many localities has increased significantly.

Before the Law on Teachers was developed and promulgated, according to statistics from the Ministry of Education and Training , in the 2022-2023 school year, the rate of teachers quitting or changing careers accounted for about 10% of the total number of teachers; most of whom were teachers under the age of 35 - accounting for 61% of the number of teachers quitting or changing careers.

At the same time, the Ministry of Education and Training said that recruiting teachers in all localities is facing difficulties in terms of recruitment sources, especially in large cities. Low entrance scores of teacher training colleges affect the quality of teacher training.

According to the Department of Teachers and Educational Administrators, Ministry of Education and Training, after the Law on Teachers was passed by the National Assembly, the salary policy provisions in the Law immediately had a positive impact on the enrollment of teacher training colleges and the recruitment of teachers in localities. The benchmark scores of teacher training colleges are high compared to other professions; The rate of applicants for teacher recruitment in many localities is 7 to 10 times higher than the recruitment target. Some subjects that were difficult to recruit in the past, such as Foreign Languages, Information Technology, Fine Arts, Music, etc., now have many applicants.

Director of the Department of Teachers and Educational Managers, Ministry of Education and Training, Vu Minh Duc, said that teachers across the country are very excited and looking forward to the Government's detailed regulations on "teachers' salaries being ranked highest in the administrative career salary scale system".

Regarding the issue of teachers' salaries and benefits, the Director of the Department of Teachers and Education Managers said that "the career of cultivating people" requires teachers to be dedicated, love their profession and students, have extensive knowledge, pedagogical skills, communication skills, self-study awareness, continuous updating capacity and must build the image of an exemplary teacher to educate students through example.

Paying high salaries is a way to recognize the value of a certain profession. With the special nature of labor, creating products of knowledge and a highly qualified workforce; having a special coefficient for teachers' salaries to be the highest in the administrative career salary scale is a worthy treatment for their role, position and responsibility.

"This is not a favor, but a worthy treatment for teachers," said Mr. Vu Minh Duc.

Consistent view that teachers' salaries are ranked highest

In Clause 4, Article 23 of the Law on Teachers, the National Assembly assigns the Government to specify in detail the salaries and allowances for teachers. The Ministry of Education and Training's proposal of policy contents in the draft Decree regulating salary policies and allowance regimes for teachers is to carry out the tasks assigned by the National Assembly and the Government according to the provisions of the Law on Teachers; ensuring compliance with the Party's policies in the Resolutions and Conclusions related to teachers' salaries; and complying with the salary regulations prescribed by the Law on Teachers.

The draft Decree is currently being sent for public comments from relevant ministries, branches, localities, agencies and organizations.

On November 14, the Ministry of Education and Training informed that most of the comments submitted agreed with the provisions of the draft Decree. The Ministry of Education and Training will compile the comments and submit them to the Government for consideration and decision.

The Ministry of Education and Training will continue to perfect the content of the regulations to demonstrate the consistency of the Party and State's policies and viewpoints on teachers' salaries; at the same time, the Ministry of Education and Training will coordinate with the Ministry of Finance to calculate and determine the budget source to implement the policy contents in the Decree, ensuring feasibility with the socio-economic development situation of the country.
