How many extra periods do teachers teach to calculate overtime pay?
The Ministry of Education and Training said that the working regime of general education teachers is implemented according to Circular 05/2025/TT-BGDĐT. According to regulations, from April 22, 2025, the total teaching time in the school year is 37 weeks, including 35 weeks of actual teaching and 2 weeks of reserve.

Teachers who teach more than the total quota number of periods (665 periods/year) are counted as overtime teaching and are paid overtime teaching salaries according to current regulations. See more...
