Increase youth support, give teachers incentives, and make preschools popular for children aged 3-5
Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son authorized the Prime Minister to present the draft Resolution of the National Assembly on popularizing preschool education for children aged 3-5 years. Currently, the country has more than 5.1 million preschool children, of which more than 4.5 million preschool children are cared for at nearly 33,000 educational institutions. The rate of kindergarten mobilization reached 93.6%, but many children aged 3-4 years, especially in disadvantaged areas, have not yet accessed preschool education.
This situation shows the difference in learning opportunities and limitations in facilities, teaching staff, and policy mechanisms. The current Education Law only regulates pho thonglization for 5-year-old children. Meanwhile, Resolution 42-NQ/TW and Conclusion 91-KL/TW aim to popularize children from 3 years old by 2030, so the issuance of a separate National Assembly resolution is urgent.
The draft resolution stipulates many support policies: investing in facilities, increasing incentives for teachers, ensuring operating expenses for public schools, prioritizing disadvantaged areas and encouraging the socialization of preschool education. The Resolution aims to ensure fairness in access to comprehensive education and development of children. See more...
Salary and income table for preschool teachers when their allowances are increased
The Ministry of Education and Training is soliciting opinions on the Draft Decree on preferential allowances according to occupations for civil servants and employees in public educational institutions.

In addition to preferential allowances, teachers can also receive additional seniority allowances, positions... to significantly increase their total monthly income.
Adjusting allowances not only improves the income and life of preschool teachers but also contributes to retaining and motivating teachers to feel secure in their long-term commitment to the profession, improving the quality of child care and education. See more...
Why parents and students prefer pedagogical majors in 2025
The 2025 enrollment season records the strong attraction of the pedagogical industry. The two largest pedagogical universities in the country, Hanoi National University of Education and Ho Chi Minh City National University of Education, have both expanded their scale of organizing their own exams with a sudden increase in the number of candidates. In addition, Hanoi Pedagogical University 2 also organized a separate exam for admission for the first time.
Although the number of candidates registered has increased, the enrollment quota for pedagogical majors is still limited, making competition for this major fierce. The benchmark scores for many pedagogical majors have approached the absolute level, such as the Literature and History Pedagogy major last year reached 29.3 points - the highest in the country.
Many students choose pedagogical skills because of their passion, stable career orientation and attractive tuition and living allowance support policies. Parents also believe in job opportunities, the nature of work and the increasingly improved treatment of the education sector, thereby orienting their children to study pedagogical subjects.
