Officially abolish the exam for promotion of professional titles of teachers

The Ministry of Education and Training officially issued Circular No. 13/2024/TT-BGDDT stipulating standards and conditions for considering promotion of professional titles of preschool teachers, public primary and secondary school teachers and university preparatory teachers, replacing Circular No. 34/2021/TT-BGDDT dated November 30, 2021. The Circular takes effect from December 15, 2024.

Accordingly, a notable innovation compared to the old regulation is that it does not stipulate standards and conditions for promotion exams because the Government has abolished the promotion exam format; it does not stipulate the content, format and determination of successful candidates in the promotion exam because the Government has specified in detail in Decree No. 85/2023/ND-CP.

Circular No. 13 will take effect from December 15, 2024.

In addition, the new Circular specifically stipulates the standards and conditions for registration for promotion to grade II and grade I for preschool teachers, general education teachers, and university preparatory teachers.

At the request of the Government, to ensure the requirement to improve the quality of the team, in addition to the standards and conditions prescribed in Clause 1, Article 32 of Decree No. 115/2020/ND-CP, which was amended and supplemented in Clause 16, Article 1 of Decree No. 85/2023/ND-CP, the Ministry of Education and Training stipulates the addition of a number of standards and conditions as follows:

Regarding the quality classification standards during the working period: During the time holding the professional title of grade III teacher or equivalent, there are 2 years (for preschool) and 3 years (for general education, university preparation) of work immediately before the year of consideration for promotion to the professional title with quality classified at the level of "Completing tasks well" or higher.

During the time holding the professional title of Grade II teacher or equivalent, the 5 years prior to the year of consideration for promotion to the professional title must be classified as "Good completion of tasks" or higher, of which at least 2 years must be classified as "Excellent completion of tasks".

The Ministry of Education and Training said that specific regulations on determining the time to hold equivalent professional titles create favorable conditions for localities in calculating the time to hold the next lower rank when teachers register to participate in promotion of professional titles.

The provisions of Circular No. 13/2024/TT-BGDDT stipulating standards and conditions for considering promotion of professional titles for public preschool and primary school teachers and university preparatory teachers will be an important legal basis for localities to continue implementing the promotion of professional titles, ensuring the rights of teachers.
