What are the benefits of guest lecturers?

GD&TĐ - Readers asked about the regulations on working with general education teachers applicable to guest teachers and homeroom teachers.

I am a guest teacher at a public primary school, assigned to teach a number of subjects and be a homeroom teacher. According to Circular No. 28/2009/TT-BGDDT promulgating regulations on working regimes for general teachers, it does not apply to guest teachers, so I am not entitled to the reduction of the homeroom teacher.

However, according to Circular No. 05/2025-BGDDT, the applicable subjects do not mention guest teachers. I would like to ask, if I am still assigned as a homeroom teacher, will I be entitled to the 4 reductions of the homeroom teacher? Nguyen Van Giang (vangiang***@gmail.com)
