Expected new working regime regulations, affecting all teachers of GDTX system

(NLDO) - Continuing education teachers are not limited to two concurrent tasks because the nature of their professional activities is very different from that of general education teachers.

Many teachers at continuing education centers (GDTX) in Ho Chi Minh City wonder that there are now guidelines regulating the working regime for teachers in the general education system. So what are the regulations for teachers in the GDTX system? On the other hand, with the information about merging GDTX and vocational education centers (GDNN), how is the working regime regulated and how will it change?

According to the Ministry of Education and Training, the ministry has just announced a draft circular regulating the working regime for teachers at continuing education institutions.

Draft circular regulating working regime for teachers teaching at Continuing Education Centers and Vocational Education - Continuing Education Centers, including: working time, annual leave, teaching period norms, reduction of teaching period norms and conversion of other activities into teaching periods.

According to the draft, the working regime of teachers of the continuing education system is consistent with the regulations for general education teachers. However, there is a difference: General education teachers cannot hold more than 2 concurrent tasks, but teachers of continuing education institutions are not limited to 2 concurrent tasks because the nature of their professional activities is much different from that of general education teachers.

The draft circular stipulates that the total number of reduced and converted periods for teachers' concurrent duties in a week must not exceed 50% of the average number of teaching periods in a week. According to the explanation of the Ministry of Education and Training, this regulation aims to ensure fair division of work among teachers in the same center.

At the same time, ensure that teachers carry out their main activities of teaching and educating, overcoming the situation where many people hold the title of teacher but do not perform or perform very few teaching and educating tasks.

Students of Chu Van An Continuing Education Center read books during recess.

In addition, according to the draft circular, due to the nature of the summer vacation not being fixed at 8 weeks, such as at preschool, general education, and continuing education teachers have to perform many other tasks in addition to teaching and educational activities, teachers' working hours do not have a fixed number of weeks to allow for flexibility in assigning and arranging work.

The draft circular stipulates that teachers' summer vacation time is implemented according to the rules and regulations of the continuing education institution, maximum 8 weeks, minimum 4 weeks. In addition, there is no regulation on summer vacation time for directors and deputy directors as with principals and vice principals of general schools due to the nature of the center's work, which has many educational and training activities during students' summer vacation.

The draft circular also stipulates that the average teaching hours per week for teachers teaching the Continuing Education program is 17 hours to ensure consistency, due to the fact that this teacher teaches both the middle school program and the high school program.

At the same time, according to the draft regulations on professional standards for teachers of continuing education institutions, there will be only one position of continuing education teacher in a continuing education institution. The teaching hour norms for teachers holding the positions of director and deputy director must be consistent with the regulations on teaching hour norms for principals and vice principals of general schools and maintain the current regulations on teaching hour norms for heads and deputy heads of vocational education institutions.

Regulations on reducing teaching hours and converting professional activities into teaching hours must be consistent with regulations for general education and university preparatory teachers, and in accordance with the functions and tasks of the center.

If there are additional tasks that require a reduction in the standard teaching hours or conversion, the director will base on the complexity and workload to estimate the number of converted teaching hours. This content must be agreed upon at the center's collective meeting. After reaching an agreement, the director will decide on the number of converted teaching hours for the task and report to the Department of Education and Training in writing.
