Accordingly, Point b, Clause 2, Article 19, Chapter IV, Draft Law on Vocational Education (amended) clearly states: "A lecturer or co-teacher is a person who has been recruited at an agency or unit other than a school in the national education system, appointed by a vocational education institution to hold the position of teaching specific specialized fields and occupations if he/she meets professional standards".
In reality, vocational schools are facing a serious shortage of teachers/lecturers, especially in specific professions associated with new technology or production practices in enterprises. According to the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs (formerly), the proportion of vocational education teachers teaching integrated education is low (about 50%), a number of teachers teaching theory have limited vocational skills, and teachers teaching practice have limited professional knowledge. This is a big challenge for the team in meeting the innovation of vocational education when it is required that at least 70% of teachers teach practice (integrated teaching).
In recent times, in order to have lecturers/teachers to meet the practical teaching requirements, many vocational schools have promoted the attraction of guest lecturers. However, most of those who are qualified to be guest lecturers are working in other agencies, leading to the possibility of conflicts in labor use and information security. Guest lecturers work on a seasonal or short-term basis, so the level of commitment to the school's training strategy is not high, and is not considered for calculating enrollment quotas or opening new majors.
In the context of a rapidly changing labor market and increasing demands for training quality, the addition of co-tenant teachers/lecturers to the team in the Draft Law on Vocational Education (amended) is a positive signal, expected to help vocational schools mobilize teaching human resources well.
Although co-tenured teachers/lecturers do not work full-time, if they have a clear and long-term commitment to their expertise, it will open the way for schools to attract human resources from businesses, especially in the dual training model. The title of co-tenured teachers/lecturers is also expected to be counted in the enrollment quota when vocational schools open new majors, opening the way for training to meet social needs.
Despite the positive reception, some vocational school leaders also expressed some concerns when adding the position of co-tenanted teachers/lecturers in the school. How will the assignment and assignment of this position be? Will there be cases where co-tenanted teachers/lecturers are only nominally employed to meet the requirements for opening a major or maintaining a training program, while in reality these people are not directly involved in teaching?
If co-tenanted teachers/lecturers are counted in the enrollment quota when opening a new major, what is the appropriate number and ratio of the quota?... In the future, if many schools reduce the ratio of regular teachers/lecturers and increase the number of co-tenanted teachers/lecturers, how will it affect the stability and development of the team?
Adding a co-teacher/lecturer position will be an important solution to solve the problem of teaching staff shortage, while increasing the connection between schools and businesses and updating new technology in training. Because the concept of this position is still new, it is natural that there are concerns.
In order for the new policy to be effectively implemented when the Law on Vocational Education is passed, it is necessary to have more detailed instructions on standards, assignment, and division of tasks as well as regulations on periodic inspection and evaluation of the title of teachers/lecturers, in order to ensure the quality of the team and improve the quality of training.
