Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong said that the results of the assessment and summary of the implementation of the law on teachers in recent years showed that, besides the achieved results, the teaching staff and the work of developing the teaching staff at all levels still have shortcomings, and it is necessary to have a separate law to resolve them.
The National Assembly Standing Committee held its 37th session on September 25.
The Draft Law on Teachers has established regulations on appropriate remuneration policies and regimes, commensurate with the position and role of teachers, in order to attract and create conditions for teachers to feel secure in their work, love their profession, be dedicated and responsible for their profession.
Accordingly, the regulations on salary and benefits policies for teachers aim to concretize the Party's policy in Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW "teachers' salaries are given the highest priority in the salary scale according to job position, title and leadership position according to Government regulations".
"The draft stipulates that teachers' salaries are ranked highest in the administrative career salary scale system and are entitled to preferential allowances and other allowances depending on the nature of the job and the region as prescribed by law," said Deputy Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong.
This is to help teachers feel secure in their work, contribute and develop their careers; attract, employ and give preferential treatment to talented people to become teachers; attract teachers to work and work long-term in the education sector, especially in disadvantaged areas...
The Draft Law stipulates that the salaries and salary-based policies of teachers working at non-public, private educational institutions and public educational institutions with autonomy in regular expenditures, and public educational institutions with autonomy in regular expenditures and investment expenditures must not be less than the salaries and salary-based policies of teachers prescribed in this Law with the same training level, seniority, and title in public educational institutions receiving salaries from the state budget.
At the same time, to ensure that teachers continue to receive seniority allowances until the State has new guidelines on salary policy, the draft Law stipulates in the Transitional Provision: "Teachers continue to receive seniority allowances until the new salary policy is implemented".
The draft Law also proposes to assign the Government to regulate salary scales, tables and contents related to salaries and allowances for teachers.
Reviewing the policy on rewarding and honoring teachers, Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee on Culture and Education Nguyen Dac Vinh said that the Standing Committee of the Committee agreed that there should be a salary policy for teachers to motivate teachers to work with peace of mind and attract good students to the teaching profession. However, the institutionalization of this policy needs to be consistent with the context of salary reform; avoiding the understanding that there will be a separate salary scale and table for teachers.
The Standing Committee also believes that there should be support policies and policies to attract teachers. However, it is necessary to assess the impact, identify the beneficiaries of the policies, and ensure resources to implement the policies. There are suggestions to review support and attraction policies to avoid duplication or omission of subjects; add policies to attract people with excellent academic performance to study pedagogy, and keep excellent students at school to become university lecturers.
Discussing at the meeting, Secretary General and Head of the National Assembly Office Bui Van Cuong agreed with the development of regulations on salary and benefits policies for teachers to concretize the Party's policy in Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW.
However, Mr. Bui Van Cuong stated that reforming teachers' salaries is very difficult and complicated, and needs to be studied and reviewed to be more flexible when implementing. Accordingly, it is possible to study in the direction of having a preferential treatment regime, attracting talented people in the education sector, avoiding the situation of "living long and becoming veterans", while those who are good at education later do not have incentive policies.
