According to regulations issued by the Huong Khe District People's Committee (old), after completing their service period (5 years for males, 3 years for females), teachers will be transferred back to their old units or arranged appropriately.
By 2025, 68 people had completed the required time. However, the transfer has not been carried out.
The reason given is the process of arranging the apparatus, adjusting administrative units, along with preparing to switch to a two-level local government model.
There may be objective difficulties in the stage of arranging the apparatus, but it is necessary to clearly affirm that all organizational adjustments cannot lose the legitimate rights of workers.
When management agencies issue regulations on mobilizing obligations with specific deadline commitments, teachers comply because of professional responsibility and because of the general requirements of the industry.
If after completion, rights are not guaranteed as committed, trust in policies will be affected.
It is worth noting that the Chairman of Ha Tinh Provincial People's Committee directed to review the entire case, assigning the Vice Chairman in charge of education to work with the Department of Education and Training to have specific handling directions.
However, the review must go hand in hand with a clear roadmap for resolution.
If it is the middle of the school year and cannot be transferred immediately, the management agency needs to publicly announce the plan and specific timelines for resolution, so that teachers can rest assured.
In the long term, the case also raises the requirement to improve the mechanism for mobilizing obligations.
When assigning teachers to difficult areas, there should be contracts, decisions, deadlines and clear implementation monitoring mechanisms. Avoid the situation where after completing their obligations, workers have to "knock on the door" themselves to claim the rights that have been stipulated.
Teachers accept to go to difficult areas, far from their families, in difficult conditions because of their responsibility to students and because of the general policy of the industry.
In response, authorities at all levels must ensure their legitimate rights in an impartial, transparent and humane manner.
Resolving the case of 68 teachers is not only handling an administrative case, but also an affirmation that all policy commitments must be strictly implemented.
When the rights of teachers are guaranteed and trust is strengthened, the policy of mobilizing duties will be truly sustainable.
Regarding the above case, handling it thoroughly, fully receiving responsibility from the old district level, is a request that is both reasonable and compassionate, to protect the rights of teachers.
