Which teachers are proposed to have priority salary and retirement age?

The Ministry of Education and Training said that in the latest draft of the Law on Teachers, regulations on salary, allowances, and support policies for teachers are fully defined, in the direction of increasing preferential policies so that teachers can work with peace of mind.

Specifically, the new draft stipulates: "The salary of teachers at public educational institutions is ranked highest in the administrative career salary scale system." In addition, teachers are still entitled to preferential allowances and other allowances depending on the nature of the job, by region, and according to the provisions of law.

Preschool teachers are among the educators who are given priority in terms of salary and allowances.

Preschool teachers; teachers working in particularly difficult areas, ethnic minority areas, mountainous areas, coastal areas and islands; teachers at specialized schools and other specialized schools; teachers implementing inclusive education; teachers who are ethnic minorities and teachers in some specific professions are given priority in terms of salary and allowances compared to other teachers. Teachers recruited and paid for the first time are given a 1-grade salary increase in the administrative career salary scale system.

The draft also stipulates that salaries and salary policies of teachers in non-public educational institutions must not be lower than salaries and salary policies of teachers in public educational institutions with the same training level and same title, unless otherwise agreed.

Teachers working in sectors and fields with special policies are entitled to special policies according to regulations and are only entitled to the highest level if that policy coincides with the policy for teachers.

The new draft law supplements and clarifies a number of attractive policies for teachers, such as receiving allowances and subsidies; ensuring collective accommodation with sufficient essential conditions or renting public housing when working in rural areas, ethnic minority areas, mountainous areas, border areas, islands and areas with especially difficult socio-economic conditions; and being supported in training and development.

According to the draft, teachers in preschools can retire at a lower age but not more than 5 years earlier than the regulation and will not have their pension rate deducted due to early retirement.

Teachers with the title of professor, associate professor or doctoral degree and teachers working in specialized fields and sectors are allowed to retire at an older age. The retirement regime at an older age is implemented when the educational institution has a need, the teacher is healthy enough and volunteers. When implementing the retirement regime at an older age, teachers do not hold leadership or management positions and are not allowed to retain leadership position allowances.

The working time upon retirement at an older age shall not exceed 5 years for teachers with a doctorate degree, not exceed 7 years for teachers with the title of associate professor, and not exceed 10 years for teachers with the title of professor.
