Bộ Giáo dục và Đào tạo (GDĐT) đã gửi Bộ Tư pháp thẩm định Dự thảo Nghị định quy định chính sách tiền lương, chế độ phụ cấp đối với nhà giáo.
Trong đó, tại Điều 8, ngoài các đối tượng đã được hưởng phụ cấp lưu động theo quy định hiện hành, Bộ GDĐT đề xuất áp dụng mức phụ cấp hệ số 0,2 so với mức lương cơ sở, tính theo số ngày thực tế lưu động, đối với các trường hợp: Nhà giáo được cử biệt phái; nhà giáo dạy liên trường; nhà giáo phải di chuyển để dạy tại các điểm trường, phân hiệu, hoặc di chuyển giữa cơ sở giáo dục với các điểm liên kết đào tạo, cơ sở thực hành, doanh nghiệp ngoài nhà trường.
Recording the cost and travel pressure of teachers
In reality, teaching inter-school, assigned or moving between school sites, especially in remote and isolated areas, is posing many difficulties for teachers. Not only incurring travel and accommodation costs, but also directly affecting time, health and family life. However, in the past time, the applied policy has been inconsistent, and many places are confused in paying allowances to teachers.
Việc Bộ GDĐT đề xuất phụ cấp lưu động được xem là bước điều chỉnh cần thiết, nhằm ghi nhận đúng tính chất công việc và chia sẻ phần nào áp lực mà nhà giáo phải gánh chịu khi thực hiện nhiệm vụ ngoài phạm vi một cơ sở giáo dục cố định.
Notably, in the Draft Decree detailing a number of articles of the Law on Teachers, the Ministry of Education and Training has dedicated a separate article to specifically regulate the assignment of teachers to teach inter-school, inter-level and specialized classes. This is a highly appreciated content, aimed at overcoming the lack of unity in practice in the past time.
According to the draft, the assignment of teachers to teach at inter-school and inter-level levels is not administratively imposed, but must be based on many factors. First of all, the assignment needs to consider the rationality of geographical conditions, the actual circumstances of teachers, and there must be consensus between the head of the educational institution where the teacher is working and where the teacher is assigned to teach. This regulation aims to avoid the situation where teachers have to travel too far, affecting living and teaching quality.
In addition, the number of teaching periods or teaching hours of inter-school and inter-level teachers is determined as the total number of teaching periods at all educational institutions assigned to teachers. This is an important basis for determining teaching norms, the time of overtime teaching and related regimes.
Clear responsibility for paying and evaluating teachers
The draft also clarifies the responsibility for paying salaries and salary-based regimes for teachers teaching at inter-levels and inter-schools. Accordingly, educational institutions where teachers sign labor contracts are responsible for paying salaries and related regimes, ensuring uniformity and avoiding disputes.
Regarding evaluation work, the evaluation of inter-school and inter-level teachers is carried out by the head of the educational institution where the teacher is under contract. However, the evaluation results must be based on the comments of the head of the educational institution where the teacher teaches, in order to ensure objectivity and accurately reflect the level of task completion.
Thus, when the two Decrees stipulating salary policies, allowance regimes for teachers and the Decree detailing a number of articles of the Law on Teachers are promulgated and take effect, when performing inter-level, inter-school teaching tasks, or going on assignments, teachers will enjoy some additional benefits and types of allowances.
