The Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) has just completed and sent to the Ministry of Justice for appraisal the draft Decree detailing a number of articles of the Law on Teachers. One content that has received great attention from the teaching staff is the regulations on inter-school and inter-level teaching, especially the issue of who pays salaries, allowances and related amounts.
According to the draft, Article 30 has dedicated a separate article to specifically regulate, in order to overcome the situation of confusion and inconsistency in practice in the past time.
Principles for assigning teachers to teach inter-school and inter-level classes
The draft Decree clearly defines that the assignment of teachers to teach inter-schools and inter-level classes is not simply an administrative imposition, but must be based on many factors.
First, the assignment must consider the rationality of geographical conditions, the actual circumstances of teachers, and at the same time there is a consensus between: The head of the educational institution where the teacher is working; The head of the educational institution where the teacher is assigned to teach.
This regulation aims to avoid the situation where teachers have to move too far, affecting life, activities and teaching quality.
Second, the number of teaching periods or teaching hours of teachers teaching inter-schools and inter-levels is calculated as the total number of teaching periods at all educational institutions assigned to teachers. This is an important basis for determining: Teaching norms; Time when overtime arises; Related regimes.
Salary is paid by the school signing the contract, allowances are undertaken by the place "to teach".
A noteworthy new point in the draft is clarifying the responsibility for paying salaries and allowances, which has been a concern for inter-school teachers in recent times.
The draft clearly states: The salary and salary regimes of teachers are paid by the educational institution where the teacher is signing a labor contract.
In case the total number of teaching hours exceeds the norm, the overtime salary, along with mobile allowances and other expenses (if any), will be paid by educational institutions that are not contracted with teachers.
Notably, the funding for implementing these items is guaranteed by the state budget, thereby removing concerns about "pushering responsibility" between school units.
Evaluating teachers with coordination between educational institutions
Regarding evaluation work, the draft stipulates: The evaluation of inter-school and inter-level teachers is carried out by the head of the educational institution where the teacher is signing a contract;
However, this assessment must be based on comments on the level of task completion of the head of the educational institution where teachers come to teach according to assignment.
This regulation aims to ensure practical assessment, avoiding the situation of formal assessment or lack of information about the teaching process of teachers at other schools.
The draft also emphasizes the responsibility of educational institutions where teachers are assigned to teach inter-schools. Accordingly: It is necessary to create time conditions for teachers to complete teaching tasks; Do not arrange concurrent work for teachers teaching inter-schools and inter-levels.
This is considered a progressive point, contributing to reducing work pressure and ensuring teaching quality for teachers who have to move between many schools and many levels of education.
Assignment must have the consent of the teacher
Another important point is that the assignment of teachers to teach inter-schools and inter-levels is only implemented with the consent of teachers.
According to the draft, the competent authority managing educational institutions only issues assignment decisions based on: Having a written agreement between relevant educational institutions; Having the consent of the assigned teacher.
This regulation clearly demonstrates the spirit of respecting the legitimate rights and interests of teachers, in accordance with the orientation of the Law on Teachers.
It's a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.
