Accordingly, many new types of allowances can be applied from 2026, including responsibility allowances, mobility allowances and allowances for heavy, toxic and dangerous work.

More subjects are entitled to responsibility allowance

Compared with current regulations, the draft adds many groups of teachers to receive job responsibility allowances.

The allowance is calculated as a percentage of the base salary. For example, a coefficient of 0.1 is equivalent to 10% of the base salary.

Coefficient 0.1: teachers assigned to advise students;

Coefficient 0.2: Deputy head of professional department or deputy head of department; teachers teaching integrated disabled students in educational institutions that are not specialized schools or centers to support the development of inclusive education;

This allowance does not apply to teachers, principals, vice principals and equivalents who have received responsibility allowances according to Article 12 of Decree No. 76/2019/ND-CP of the Government . The calculation of responsibility allowances is carried out according to the provisions of law.

In the case of teachers directly teaching people with disabilities using inclusive education methods in educational institutions that are not specialized schools, the center for supporting the development of inclusive education is entitled to the following job responsibility allowance:

Mobility allowance

Teachers who have to travel frequently to teach at many schools, branches or are assigned to teach in multiple schools will receive a mobility allowance with a coefficient of 0.2 of the basic salary, calculated based on the actual number of days of travel. Calculation and payment will be made in accordance with current laws.

The factors identified include:
