I graduated from the Faculty of History, University of Social Sciences and Humanities (Vietnam National University, Hanoi) in 2007. I hold a Level 1 teaching certificate. In August 2008, I was officially recruited as a teacher at a high school. In 2016, I was appointed to the professional title of High School Teacher Grade III (code V.07.05.15). I would like to ask if my qualifications and certificates are sufficient for consideration for promotion to Grade II (code V.07.05.15)? Bui Thi Man (buiman***@gmail.com)

The training qualification standards for high school teachers of rank II (code V.07.05.14) are stipulated in point a, clause 3, Article 4 of Circular No. 04/2021/TT-BGDĐT as follows: Teachers must possess a bachelor's degree or higher in a teacher training field for high school teachers. If a subject does not have enough teachers with a bachelor's degree in a teacher training field, they must have a bachelor's degree in a relevant specialized field and a certificate of pedagogical training for high school teachers according to the program issued by the Minister of Education and Training ;

Furthermore, Clause 8, Article 5 of Circular No. 08/2023/TT-BGDĐT stipulates: In cases where a general education teacher already possesses a bachelor's degree in a relevant field and a secondary or college-level pedagogical diploma, or in cases where a general education teacher already possesses a bachelor's degree in a relevant field and a pedagogical professional certificate issued by training institutions before May 22, 2021, they shall be considered to have a bachelor's degree in a relevant field and a pedagogical professional training certificate for the level of education they are teaching, according to the program issued by the Minister of Education and Training.

Therefore, if you are a high school history teacher, have a university degree in history and a level 1 pedagogical training certificate issued by the Hanoi School of Education Cadre Training before May 22, 2021 (issued in 2007), you are considered to have a relevant bachelor's degree and a pedagogical training certificate for high school level according to the program issued by the Minister of Education and Training, meaning you meet the training standards for a Grade II high school teacher (code V.07.05.14).
