Teachers' salaries are ranked highest, preschool teachers can retire early

On the morning of November 9, presenting the Draft Law on Teachers, Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son said that compared to current regulations in related laws, the draft Law on Teachers has a number of new points.

Specifically, the retirement age of teachers has its own regulations in accordance with the characteristics of professional activities. In particular, teachers inpreschools , if they wish, can retire at a lower age but not more than 5 years older than the regulations and will not have their pension rate deducted due to early retirement.

Teachers with the title of professor, associate professor or doctoral degree and teachers working in specific specialized fields and sectors are entitled to retirement benefits at an older age.

Teachers' salary policy is prioritized. In particular, the basic salary according to the teachers' salary table is ranked highest in the administrative career salary scale system; teachers are entitled to preferential allowances for their profession and other allowances depending on the nature of their work and the region as prescribed by law. Teachers continue to receive seniority allowances until the salary policy according to Resolution 27-NQ/TW is implemented.

Minister Nguyen Kim Son submitted to the National Assembly the draft Law on Teachers.

Preschool teachers; teachers working in extremely difficult areas in ethnic minority areas, mountainous areas, coastal areas and islands; teachers in specialized schools and other specialized schools; teachers implementing inclusive education; teachers who are ethnic minorities and teachers in some specific professions are given priority in terms of salary and allowances compared to other teachers. Teachers recruited and paid for the first time are given a 1-level salary increase in the administrative and career salary scale system.

Teachers working in ethnic minority areas, mountainous areas, border areas, islands and areas with especially difficult socio-economic conditions; teachers teaching specialized schools, teachers teaching inclusive education; teachers teaching ethnic minority languages; teachers teaching Vietnamese language enhancement for ethnic minority students; teachers teaching gifted subjects and arts are entitled to a number of other support policies.

Standardize the teaching staff through a system of titles and professional standards for teachers with standards closely following the requirements of professional capacity associated with each level of education and training. Teachers in non-public educational institutions are equal to teachers in public educational institutions in terms of identification, professional standards, basic rights and obligations, and a number of policies such as training, fostering, honoring, rewarding, and handling of violations.

The draft also gives the education sector the initiative in recruiting and using teachers. In particular, the Ministry of Education and Training and the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs are the agencies in charge of developing strategies, projects, development plans, and total staffing levels of teachers under their management authority to submit to competent authorities for decision; coordinating the staffing levels of teachers in public educational institutions according to the number assigned by competent authorities; education management agencies or educational institutions take the lead in recruiting teachers.

Regulations on teacher recruitment ensure that there must be pedagogical practice to select people with sufficient capacity in accordance with teacher professional standards, meeting the requirements of teacher professional activities at each level of education, training level, etc.
