Support policies for teachers

The draft Decree proposes regulations stipulating that teachers are entitled to health check-ups and treatment for occupational diseases in accordance with the law. Teachers who are eligible for hazardous and strenuous work allowances are entitled to health check-ups at least twice a year.

Teachers who teach Vietnamese to ethnic minority children before they enter first grade, and teachers who teach combined classes of two different levels, are entitled to an allowance of 50% of their current salary per teaching hour. Teachers who teach combined classes of three different levels are entitled to an allowance of 75% of their current salary per teaching hour.

The salary for one teaching hour is calculated as follows:

This allowance is paid at the end of the school year and is not used to calculate contributions to or benefits from social insurance or health insurance.

Teachers who teach Vietnamese to preschool children and are from ethnic minority groups are entitled to allowances as stipulated by the Government.

Teachers working in ethnic minority areas, mountainous regions, border areas, islands, and areas with particularly difficult socio -economic conditions who do not yet have housing are entitled to rent public housing in accordance with the Housing Law or be provided with collective housing by the managing agency or educational institution. The investment, construction, and management of collective housing shall be carried out in accordance with the laws on construction and investment. Legitimate funding from organizations and individuals is encouraged for the construction of collective housing for teachers.

In cases where the management agency or educational institution cannot provide collective housing or official housing, teachers will receive financial support not less than the prescribed rent for official housing. The cost of this housing rental support will be accounted for as a regular operating expense of the educational institution. Based on specific circumstances, the management agency or educational institution will determine the amount of support and submit it to the competent authority for approval.

Physical education teachers and national defense and security teachers at public educational institutions within the national education system are entitled to allowances and uniforms as prescribed by the Prime Minister.
