Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son said that immediately after the National Assembly passed the Law on Teachers, the Ministry proactively developed a system of documents guiding its implementation. In particular, regarding the recruitment of teachers, the Ministry of Education and Training is developing a circular with the direction of assigning the Department of Education and Training to preside over the implementation, or advising the Provincial People's Committee to decentralize and authorize in accordance with local realities. The above approach ensures the implementation of the policy of reducing intermediaries, synchronizing the quality of recruitment (one-time recruitment can be registered for admission to many schools based on exam/review results), saving costs, increasing opportunities for participants in recruitment; at the same time, contributing to overcoming the situation of local surplus/shortage of teachers as well as ensuring the structure of the team according to grade level, subject, and educational activities.

In addition, the Ministry of Education and Training is developing a Decree detailing a number of articles of the Law on Teachers, including regulations on the content and form of teacher recruitment. As expected, the recruitment will include 2 rounds of exams, compatible with current regulations on civil servant recruitment. However, round 2 - on expertise and profession - will be designed differently, closely following the actual process of teaching and education activities, ensuring the correct assessment of pedagogical capacity and professional skills of candidates at each level of education and training.

"This is expected to be an important innovation, aiming to overcome previous limitations when applying a general mechanism for civil servants without taking into account the specific characteristics of the teaching profession," said the Minister of Education and Training.

According to the Minister, the Ministry of Education and Training is currently finalizing a draft of detailed regulations on salaries, allowances and policies to attract and support teachers. Accordingly, it is expected that the basic salary of all teachers will increase, by at least about 2 million VND, and at most up to 5-7 million VND/person/month. This increase is only calculated on the basic salary, not including other allowances.

The Minister of Education and Training also said that in the 2022-2026 period, the education sector will be supplemented with 65,980 positions by the Politburo . In the two school years 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, the country recruited more than 40,000 teachers. However, due to the continuous increase in the number of students and classes, the demand for teachers has also increased sharply (the 2023-2024 school year needs 13,676 more teachers; the 2024-2025 school year needs about 22,000 more teachers). Therefore, many localities still lack teachers. The main reason is due to limited recruitment sources. In some subjects such as Information Technology, Foreign Languages, and Arts, it is difficult to recruit students because teachers' income is still low. In addition, the process of allocating and recruiting positions in many localities is still slow and prolonged.

According to the Minister, in response to this situation, the Ministry of Education and Training has been implementing many solutions such as: Directing training institutions to open major codes, train teachers according to the actual needs of localities, especially specific subjects; requiring localities to recruit enough assigned staff; directing localities to review and arrange the school network; piloting the autonomy mechanism in some public preschools and general schools; promoting socialization...

Along with solutions from the Central Government, the Ministry of Education and Training also requested localities to proactively recruit enough assigned staff, have policies to attract and support teachers, and arrange funding to implement teacher contracts according to regulations.

Regarding the management of extra teaching and learning, the Ministry of Education and Training continues to maintain the viewpoint that "extra learning can bring about the consolidation of knowledge, but brings little value to human development".

“The profound consequences of the widespread situation of extra teaching and learning require continued drastic rectification. Therefore, in the 2025-2026 school year, the Ministry of Education and Training will continue to direct and urge localities to issue regulations on managing extra teaching and learning to enhance the responsibility of the government, while requiring educational institutions to effectively implement the General Education Program,” said the Minister.
