Regulations on professional title standards for Primary School Teachers

GD&TĐ - Readers asked about regulations on professional title standards for Primary School Teachers.

On December 11, 2014, I was recruited to teach at a primary school, code 15a.203, level 1, salary coefficient 2.34; probationary period of 12 months from January 1, 2015. According to regulations, on January 1, 2016, my probationary period ended and I was appointed to a professional title. May I ask, I was appointed to a professional title rank by the competent authority under which article and clause of the Circular?

Will I be appointed to the position of Senior Primary Teacher, code 15a.203, coefficient 2.34 as when I was recruited? Is there any provision or circular that stipulates that after completing the internship, I will be appointed from the recruited position of Senior Primary Teacher, code 15a.203 to the position of Grade IV Primary Teacher, code V.07.03.09?

* Reply:

According to the provisions of the Law on Civil Servants and documents guiding the implementation of the Law, a person appointed to a professional title must meet the standards of that professional title (Point b, Clause 1, Article 31 of the Law on Civil Servants) and the change of professional title from a lower rank to an adjacent higher rank must be done through an exam or promotion review (Clause 2, Article 29 of Decree No. 115/2020/ND-CP, now only the promotion review form is used according to the adjusted provisions of Decree No. 85/2023/ND-CP).

As of January 1, 2016, the professional title standards of primary school teachers are implemented according to the provisions of Joint Circular No. 21/2015/TTLT-BGDĐT-BNV. Accordingly, primary school teachers are classified into 3 ranks from low to high as follows: Rank IV, Rank III, Rank II.

In the regulations on professional title standards for Primary School Teachers Grade II, in addition to the requirements on training and development standards, there are also standards on teachers' achievements and contributions, and requirements on the time of holding Grade III, which newly recruited teachers cannot meet. At the same time, the teacher recruitment period is not an exam or a review for promotion to professional titles.

Therefore, the local competent authority's appointment of you to the professional title of Grade IV primary school teacher is in accordance with regulations. In the case that you are immediately appointed to the professional title of Grade II primary school teacher (or Senior primary school teacher code 15a.203) after recruitment, it is not in accordance with regulations and you are subject to re-appointment according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training in Clause 12, Article 5 of Circular No. 08/2023/

TT-BGDDT: “From November 3, 2015 to the effective date of this Circular, in case preschool and general education teachers are appointed to a higher rank after the end of the probationary period or after achieving a higher training level than the prescribed level but have not met other standards and have not passed the exam or promotion review organized by the competent authority, they must be reappointed to the correct rank according to regulations (including cases of recruitment before November 3, 2015 and completion of the probationary period according to regulations after November 3, 2015)”.
