One of the key factors creating success as well as improving the quality and innovation of education is the active contribution of generations of teachers.

According to the Ministry of Education and Training , the country currently has nearly 1.6 million teachers and educational administrators, of which the management staff accounts for more than 10%. In general, the team of teachers and educational administrators has developed in both quantity and quality, with an increasingly reasonable structure, contributing to the success of the educational cause.

The quality of general education in recent years has been recognized and highly appreciated internationally. The results of regional and international Olympic competitions of Vietnamese students in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, etc. have achieved very proud results. Many educational models and active teaching methods have been applied in practice. The quality of university and vocational education has been significantly improved; university autonomy has been promoted, improving the quality of training and scientific research.

The teaching staff always upholds the fine traditions of the industry, is dedicated to their profession, devoted to their beloved students, has many innovations and creativity in management, teaching and education; constantly cultivates virtue, trains talent, improves skills, and improves teaching quality. Many teachers, despite many difficulties and difficult lives, have overcome the worries of everyday life to excellently complete their tasks, and are shining examples for students to follow.

However, along with the advantages, the current team of teachers and educational managers still has many limitations. These include inadequacies in quality, quantity and structure; a part has not kept up with the requirements of educational innovation and development, lacks enthusiasm, even violates professional ethics, teaching methods are slow to innovate, not meeting the requirements of teaching and learning in the direction of capacity development. The ability to use foreign languages ​​and information technology in management, teaching and learning of some teachers is still limited. The management capacity of a part of educational management staff is still weak, not meeting the requirements in the context of innovation...

In the coming time, the education sector at all levels needs to continue to thoroughly grasp the viewpoints and directions of the Party and State on education development in the spirit of Resolution No. 29 on fundamental and comprehensive innovation in education and training; Resolution No. 71 on breakthroughs in education and training development.

One of the requirements of Resolution No. 71 is to have special and outstanding preferential policies for the teaching staff; increase the preferential allowance for preschool and general education institutions to at least 70% for teachers, 30% for staff, 100% for teachers in particularly difficult areas, border areas, islands, and ethnic minority areas. Develop appropriate policies to mobilize talented people outside the teaching staff to participate in teaching and training in educational institutions. At the same time, implement a system of co-teaching with talented people working in public service units; have a mechanism to encourage and mobilize talented people to preside over scientific research activities in educational institutions.

Education and training are the “key” to the success of each country. Teachers are not only the ones who impart knowledge but also need to proactively learn advanced and modern teaching methods, playing a central role in guiding and inspiring learners to have effective learning methods.

The requirements for teachers today are not only to improve their professional qualifications, skills, innovation and creativity in teaching, but also to enhance digital skills, especially the skills of using artificial intelligence for students. The Ministry of Education and Training and localities not only need to implement well the policy of rewarding good teachers but also need to further strengthen training and capacity building for managers and teachers, especially teachers working in ethnic boarding schools and semi-boarding schools with difficult socio-economic conditions, in order to build a modern, equitable and integrated education system...
