The draft sets out principles for appointment and salary classification for teachers teaching in public educational institutions, including the content that salary increases or changes in teacher titles are not allowed, except in cases where teachers have career advancement, meet the requirements of a higher teacher title and wish to change their current teacher title.

Teachers have extensive experience in teaching and education and have many achievements in professional activities or in cases where teachers are recognized and appointed to the title of professor or associate professor according to regulations of specialized laws.

Newly recruited teachers are not appointed to a professional position higher than the one they have been selected for based on their training level.

In case there is a difference between the current salary coefficient and the salary coefficient of the teaching position, the difference coefficient will be reserved according to the provisions of the law on wages.

A representative of the Department of Teachers, Ministry of Education and Training said that the draft Circular stipulates the code, appointment and salary classification for public teachers to determine which rank and level teachers belong to. In addition to the salary according to general regulations, the teaching staff will have additional allowances and special coefficients to ensure the principle of the highest salary for teachers.

Previously, Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son said that the basic salary of all teachers is expected to increase. Accordingly, the increase will be at least 2 million VND, and at most it can be up to 5-7 million VND/person/month. This increase is only calculated on salary, not including other allowances.
