Contract teachers in Khanh Hoa are concerned about bonus payment according to Decree 73
Many teachers and contract employees at public schools in Khanh Hoa are worried because it is not clear whether they will be entitled to bonuses according to Decree 73 or not. Although they signed contracts with unspecified terms, ranked salaries according to State regulations and annually completed their tasks well, they have not yet received unified instructions on bonus payment.
According to the bonus regulations issued by Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee at the end of December 2025, contract workers under Decree 111 who complete tasks are eligible for consideration for bonuses. However, some schools said that they cannot pay bonuses because the State Treasury informed that this subject has not been applied for bonuses from funding sources according to Decree 73, leading to difficulties in implementation.
Faced with the above situation, teachers and contract employees hope that functional agencies will soon have specific and unified guidance to ensure legitimate rights. Representatives of the State Treasury of Region XIII said that the payment of bonuses according to Decree 73 will continue to be resolved in January 2026 and the unit will coordinate with localities to remove difficulties and pay in accordance with regulations.

Salary increase from 2026: Improving life, adding motivation to teachers
From January 1, 2026, the salary and allowance policies for teachers will be adjusted according to new special mechanisms, in which professional preferential allowances for public preschool and general education teachers will be increased by at least 70%. This policy is expected to help improve income, reduce spending pressure and demonstrate the State's recognition of the contributions of the teaching staff.
Many teachers working in highlands and border areas believe that the salary increase is practical, helping them stabilize their lives, feel secure in sticking to school and class in difficult working conditions. When life is improved, teachers have more motivation to invest in expertise, improve teaching quality and accompany students for a long time.
Not only teachers in difficult areas, teachers in urban areas also expressed excitement about the new salary policy, because current income is still limited compared to increasing living needs. The salary adjustment from 2026 is expected to create motivation to stick with the profession for a long time, contributing to stabilizing the team and improving the quality of education. See more...

The truth about the school recovering teachers' bonuses in Ninh Binh
Some officials and teachers of Ha Nam Vocational College (Ninh Binh) reflected that the school collected a portion of the bonus according to Decree 73 and overtime teaching fees. However, the school leader affirmed that the bonus according to Decree 73 has been fully and correctly spent for officials and teachers who are eligible.
According to Mr. Vu Huu Y - Principal of Ha Nam Vocational College, more than 30 teachers and employees with labor contracts are not eligible for bonuses according to Decree 73. Therefore, the Executive Committee of the Trade Union has launched voluntary donations among staff and teachers to have funds to support bonuses for contract workers. This was discussed publicly, unanimously and not mandatorily.
The school affirms that it does not force officials and teachers to participate in donations and denies information about collecting overtime teaching fees. The entire amount of donations will be managed by the Trade Union and divided equally among contract workers, in order to encourage those who have not enjoyed the bonus policy as prescribed.
