2025-2026 school year: Teachers' salaries increase from 2-7 million VND

(NLDO) - It is expected that the basic salary of all teachers will increase, at least about 2 million VND, and at most it can be up to 5-7 million VND/person/month.

Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son said the Ministry of Education and Training is finalizing a draft of detailed regulations on salaries, allowances and policies to attract and support teachers.

Teachers' salaries increase from 2-7 million VND in the new school year

Accordingly, it is expected that the basic salary of all teachers will increase, by at least about 2 million VND, and at most up to 5-7 million VND/person/month. This increase is only calculated on the basic salary, not including other allowances.

Also according to Minister Nguyen Kim Son, immediately after the National Assembly passed the Law on Teachers, the Ministry of Education and Training proactively developed a system of documents guiding its implementation.

Regarding teacher recruitment, the Ministry is developing a Circular with the direction of assigning the Department of Education and Training to take the lead in implementation, or advising the Provincial People's Committee to decentralize and delegate authority in accordance with local realities.

The above approach ensures the implementation of the policy of reducing intermediaries, synchronizing recruitment quality (one-time recruitment can be registered for admission to many schools based on exam/examination results), saving costs, increasing opportunities for recruitment participants; at the same time, contributing to overcoming the situation of local surplus/shortage of teachers as well as ensuring the structure of the team according to grade level, subject, and educational activities.

In addition, the Ministry of Education and Training is developing a Decree detailing a number of articles of the Law on Teachers, including regulations on the content and form of teacher recruitment.

As planned, the recruitment will consist of 2 rounds of exams, in line with current regulations on civil servant recruitment. However, round 2 - on expertise and profession - will be designed differently, closely following the actual process of teaching and education activities, ensuring the correct assessment of the pedagogical capacity and professional skills of candidates at each level of education and training.

This is expected to be an important innovation, aiming to overcome previous limitations when applying the general mechanism for civil servants without taking into account the specific characteristics of the teaching profession.
