Up to now, teaching has always been considered a noble profession in Vietnamese cultural tradition, but in reality, the social status and working conditions of teachers are not commensurate with their role.
In the context ofeducational innovation and deep integration, the passage of the 2025 Teachers Law marks an important step forward in the Party and State's policies towards the education sector. Not only does it regulate the law, it also opens up profound impacts on current social issues.
Enhancing the status of the teaching profession - solving the problem of "fear of entering pedagogy"
One of the highlights of the Law on Teachers is the clear regulation of the legal status, role and rights of teachers in the socio- political system. Previously, due to low income and high career pressure, many excellent students did not choose to study pedagogy. This led to the phenomenon of "brain drain" from the education sector and a shortage of good teachers in many regions.
A happy, motivated, and socially respected teacher creates a positive classroom.
The 2025 Teachers Law makes more specific commitments on remuneration, wages, allowances, insurance and career advancement opportunities. These provisions will help attract talent to the education sector, especially in disadvantaged areas, and restore confidence and professional pride in teachers.
A quality education system cannot be separated from a team of competent and ethical teachers. The Law on Teachers not only aims to protect the rights of teachers, but also promotes their responsibilities and professional standards. The establishment of a system of evaluation, rewards and handling of violations against teachers is specifically stipulated in the law, helping to increase transparency and fairness in the profession.
From there, the positive impact spreads to students - the subjects who directly enjoy the quality of education. A happy, motivated and socially respected teacher will create a positive classroom, thereby improving the quality of output and contributing to building human resources with intelligence and ethics, serving the development of the country.
Contribute to social stability and sustainable development
The Law on Teachers is not only a legal document in the field of education, but also has profound social significance. When the rights and honor of teachers are protected, they will be more dedicated to their work, limiting the situation of teachers quitting the profession or working in a non-professional field.
On the other hand, improving the social status of teachers also contributes to strengthening people's trust in the public education system. In the era of social media development, incidents of insulting teachers or misunderstandings between parents and teachers have caused public unrest. The Law on Teachers clearly stipulates the responsibility to protect the honor and dignity of teachers, while raising legal awareness in the relationship between subjects in schools. This helps build a safe and stable educational environment, creating a premise for long-term social development.
Promoting innovation in education – students are the center
The 2025 Law on Teachers places special emphasis on the creative role of teachers in innovating teaching methods, using technology, and developing students' capacity. Not only stopping at the management aspect, the law also paves the way for the development of a team of "creative teachers", promoting professional autonomy, and empowering teachers to participate deeply in the process of educational innovation.
In the context of the strong development of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the role of teachers is no longer simply to "impart knowledge", but to become guides and companions with students in discovering knowledge and developing skills. The Law on Teachers creates a legal foundation to realize that role in a systematic and sustainable manner.
Impact on social perception of teaching profession
A very important but little-mentioned point is the impact of the Law on Teachers on the whole society's perception of the teaching profession. For many years, due to the influence of the mindset that "teaching is a natural calling", many teachers have had to endure work pressure and lack the right to protect their personal honor. The 2025 Law is a step forward in legal thinking: recognizing teachers as not only "sowers of knowledge", but also as professional workers with clear rights and obligations and need to be recognized by society.
From there, students, parents, and managers will change their perspective on teachers - no longer as "servants" but as "guides" who play a special role in shaping human personality. This is a key factor in building a learning society, respecting teachers and developing humanity.
The 2025 Law on Teachers is not only a legal regulation tool but also a symbol of change in the way we perceive and build a learning society. The law's impacts do not stop at the education sector but also spread to many social issues such as human resource development, raising public awareness, promoting equality and humanity in behavior.
In the future, the synchronous implementation of policies accompanying the law, transparent monitoring of implementation and listening to feedback from practice will be the key for the Law on Teachers to truly become a driving force for the development of Vietnamese education, as well as contributing to building a knowledgeable - fair - humane society.
