Teacher's case of salary cut: School violated regulations

Hoài Phương |

Binh Dinh - Regarding the case of teachers complaining about their benefits being cut, Quy Nhon City determined that the school's inclusion of traditional martial arts in the official curriculum was against regulations.

School implemented wrong regulations

Regarding the content of Mr. Nguyen Van Xuan - teacher at Ngo May Secondary School (Quy Nhon City, Binh Dinh) - accusing of having his benefits cut for many years, recently, the People's Committee of Quy Nhon City responded to Lao Dong Newspaper.

Quy Nhon City People's Committee confirmed that Ngo May Secondary School has included VCT (extracurricular program) in the main curriculum. The arbitrary change of the program prescribed by the Ministry of Education and Training has led to the situation where teachers have their extracurricular teaching regime for VCT cut.

Quy Nhon City People's Committee stated: In Document No. 167/GDDT-TCTr dated March 31, 2022 of the Department of Education and Training of Quy Nhon City regarding the response to the petition of Mr. Nguyen Van Xuan, the content of the organization and implementation of the physical education program for the 2018-2019 school year is as follows: "During the school year, the school organized VCT lessons instead of some periods with TTTC content (elective sports - PV) in the main curriculum. Through reviewing the lesson plan, it was determined that the school's arrangement of VCT lessons instead of some periods with TTTC content in the main curriculum was not in accordance with regulations...".

Regarding this content, the Department of Education and Training of Quy Nhon City has requested Ngo May Secondary School to report and explain the arrangement of teaching VCT instead of some lessons with TTTC content in the official curriculum.

Determine the level of violation to handle

Previously, at the working session on September 30, 2024 between Lao Dong Newspaper and Quy Nhon City People's Committee and related parties, Mr. Nguyen Phuong Nam - Vice Chairman of Quy Nhon City People's Committee said that he would work with the principal to clarify the teachers' reflection on "putting Binh Dinh VCT into the official curriculum, arbitrarily changing the curriculum prescribed by the Ministry of Education and Training, leading to the situation where teachers were cut off from extracurricular teaching of VCT", and then would give specific handling directions.

However, in the response document to Lao Dong Newspaper, Quy Nhon City People's Committee only confirmed that the school had included VCT in the official curriculum, without mentioning how to handle the content of "arbitrarily changing the curriculum prescribed by the Ministry of Education and Training, leading to the situation where teachers had their extracurricular teaching regime of VCT cut" as the teacher reported.

Responding to this issue, on October 14, Mr. Nguyen Phuong Nam said that based on the newspaper's reflection, the city had discussed with the Department of Education and Training of Quy Nhon City to check the school's inclusion of VCT in the official curriculum and re-determine the number of VCT teaching hours of Mr. Xuan. After the verification results are available, the city will continue to respond.

In case the school assigns a program that is not in accordance with regulations, the Department of Education and Training will review and inspect to determine the specific level of violation, and from there propose a solution.

Teachers denounce cuts in benefits

Mr. Xuan presented that according to regulations, the teaching quota for junior high school teachers is 37 weeks (35 weeks of actual teaching + 2 weeks of educational activities)/1 school year, each week is 19 periods. However, in reality, in 35 weeks of actual teaching/school year, the school assigned Mr. Xuan to teach 20 periods/week, which is not in accordance with regulations.

Mr. Xuan expressed his dissatisfaction because the school did not convert educational activities such as: meetings, group activities, professional groups, managing students participating in propaganda sessions, sports events, participating in epidemic prevention and control... into standard teaching periods, leading to teachers teaching too much but not enough periods.

Mr. Xuan also reflected that the inclusion of Binh Dinh VCT in the school's official curriculum for the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 school years was against regulations, arbitrarily changing the curriculum set by the Ministry of Education and Training, leading to the situation where teachers were cut off from extracurricular teaching of VCT...
