Lao Cai needs more than 1,900 contract teachers for the new school year.

GD&TĐ - The Lao Cai Department of Education and Training plans to contract 1,915 teachers for the 2025-2026 school year, reflecting the pressure of a shortage of human resources.

Pursuant to Official Dispatch No. 1638/UBND-NC dated August 27, 2025 of the Provincial People's Committee, the Lao Cai Department of Education and Training announced the need for contracts for nearly 2,000 teachers for the new school year. This is considered a temporary solution while waiting for official recruitment according to job positions.

According to the plan, the expected number of contracts includes 242 preschool teachers, 532 primary school teachers, 849 secondary school teachers and 292 high school teachers. At the primary level, the greatest demand is for cultural teachers (278), followed by English (124) and IT (62). At the secondary level, there is a shortage of many subjects such as Math (125), Literature (112), English (92) and IT (68). High school level also needs to add Math (51), Literature (44), English (34) and many other subjects.

The shortage of teachers is posing a major challenge to Lao Cai education , especially when implementing the 2018 General Education Program, which requires a workforce with diverse expertise. The signing of contracts for nearly 2,000 teachers shows the province's determination to ensure a stable educational scale, meeting the learning needs of more than 200,000 students in the area.

According to the Department of Education and Training of Lao Cai province, this unit will receive registration documents for participation in the contract at two locations: the Department of Organization and Personnel, Lao Cai Department of Education and Training (No. 1141, Yen Ninh Street, Yen Bai Ward, Lao Cai Province) and the Department of Education and Training Office in the old Lao Cai (Headquarters of Block IV, 30/4 Street, Cam Duong Ward, Lao Cai Province). The reception time is divided into two phases: phase 1 from August 28, 2025 to September 10, 2025; phase 2 starts from September 11, 2025.
