National Assembly Delegate Tran Van Thuc, Provincial Party Committee member, Deputy Head of the Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Commission of Thanh Hoa Provincial Party Committee.
Participating in giving comments, National Assembly Deputy Tran Van Thuc, Provincial Party Committee member, Deputy Head of the Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Committee of Thanh Hoa Provincial Party Committee, said that the draft Law on Teachers has been carefully and meticulously prepared by the drafting agency; has been organized to give comments, receive and edit many times, and has now been basically completed to submit to the National Assembly for consideration, final discussion and approval according to regulations.
After studying the draft dated April 16, 2025 of the Law on Teachers, delegates agreed and highly agreed with the draft law, in which they agreed with the following basic points:
The subjects and scope of the draft Law are quite broad and comprehensive, including teachers on the payroll, under labor contracts, and foreign teachers in public, private, and non-publiceducational institutions in the national education system. Teachers in non-public educational institutions are equal to teachers in public educational institutions in terms of identification, professional standards, basic rights and obligations, and a number of policies such as training, fostering, honoring, rewarding, and handling of violations.
Assign the authority to preside over and advise on the total number of teachers under the management authority to the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET); assign the authority to preside over the recruitment and admission of teachers to the education management agency or the head of the educational institution. Regulations on teacher recruitment ensure that there must be pedagogical practice in order to select people with sufficient capacity in accordance with the professional standards of teachers, meeting the professional activities of teachers at each level of education and training level. These regulations will help the education and training sector to be proactive in preparing teachers to meet the actual needs of educational institutions.
Specific regulations on the mobilization, secondment, and transfer of teaching staff, with attention paid to the retention and implementation of regimes and policies for teachers subject to mobilization, secondment, and transfer, and policies to strengthen and stabilize the teaching staff in ethnic minority areas, mountainous areas, border areas, islands, and areas with particularly difficult socio-economic conditions.
Specific regulations on inter-school and inter-level teaching are consistent with the practice of inter-school and inter-level teaching in localities in the past, and are also consistent with the dissolution of district level and merger of commune level in the coming time.
The policy of the Central Executive Committee in Resolution 27-NQ/TW has been specified: "Teachers' salaries are ranked highest in the administrative career salary scale system"; at the same time, specific regulations on support policies and preferential policies for teachers, with special attention paid to policies for teachers working in ethnic minority areas, mountainous areas, border areas, islands and areas with especially difficult socio-economic conditions.
The regulation of a lower retirement age (compared to the retirement age of workers under normal conditions) for preschool teachers and a higher one for highly qualified teachers ensures that it is suitable for the professional characteristics of preschool teachers and encourages high-quality human resources to work in specific specialized sectors and fields.
In addition, with the hope that the Law on Teachers, after being promulgated, will increasingly promote the effectiveness in managing and using the teaching staff at educational institutions, in line with the development practices of the education sector, delegates have some suggestions, namely:
Clause 6, Article 4 of the draft law on interpretation of terms stipulates: “6. The head of an educational institution is the principal or director of the educational institution, responsible for managing and operating the activities of the educational institution”. It is recommended that it be reviewed to ensure that the concept of the head of an educational institution does not only include the principal and director. In reality, the head of an educational institution can also be the owner of a private institution, the owner of an individual business household... Strict regulations on the head of an educational institution are the basis for the smooth implementation of relevant regulations; at the same time, it ensures the determination of legal obligations for which the individual must be responsible to the community, society and the law.
Regarding the provisions in Article 7 on professional activities of teachers: Clause 3 stipulates: “Professional activities of teachers stipulated in Point a, Point b, Clause 2 of this Article shall be carried out according to the school year or course”. It is recommended to consider removing the provisions in Clause 3 above, because if such provisions are made, logically, the remaining points of Clause 2, in addition to Point a and Point b, should also clearly stipulate the time of implementation. On the other hand, the content as stipulated in Clause 3 is also unnecessary because it is meaningless. In fact, the activities as stipulated in Point a and Point b are always stipulated in the work plans of educational institutions. If it is necessary to specify the time of implementation of these contents, this is also a matter under the authority of Government agencies.
The draft law stipulates that the recruitment and admission of teachers has been assigned to the education management agency to take the lead in implementing or to the head of the public education institution to implement according to decentralization. It is recommended that other provisions on transferring teachers and appointing teachers as educational institution managers should also be adjusted in this direction, accordingly, the education management agency will take the lead in advising the competent authority to carry out the transfer and appointment of teachers as educational institution managers.
Regarding the reason, according to the delegate's proposal, it is necessary to give the Education sector the initiative to take the lead in implementing or advising on the implementation of the recruitment and use of teachers to resolve the shortcomings in the use and management of the teaching staff in the past, such as the local surplus and shortage of teachers among educational institutions and among commune-level administrative units, while at the same time improving the efficiency of staff use and improving the quality of education.
Delegates also proposed to unify the policy of decentralization and autonomy for the education sector in recruiting and using teachers in the Law on Teachers with laws amending the Law on Civil Servants, amending the Law on Organization of Local Government and sub-law documents to create a synchronous and unified legal corridor for developing teachers.
The reason is that currently, in parallel with the development and promulgation of the Law on Teachers, competent authorities are simultaneously amending a number of laws such as the Law on Civil Servants, the Law on Organization of Local Government... to ensure consistency with the organization of 2-level local governments after the rearrangement. Delegates suggested that there should be a synchronous and comprehensive solution, consistent between the laws to avoid duplication in the management and use of the teaching staff.
