The treatment and investment regime for the teaching staff is important but "spending is not easy"
During the sessions of discussion at the National Assembly on draft laws and resolutions related to education, the most concerned issue was the allowance and preferential regime for teachers in the spirit of Resolution 71. Delegate Hoang Quoc Khanh agreed with the minimum allowance of 70% for teachers, 30% for employees and 100% for teachers in extremely disadvantaged areas, and at the same time proposed to clarify the concept of "roadmap" to avoid causing expectations and then slow implementation, affecting the psychology of the team.
Minister Nguyen Kim Son emphasized that to implement Resolution 71, a lot of resources and solutions are needed. The national target program is an important tool, in which most of the funding will be for educational infrastructure. The Minister set a target of eliminating all temporary schools by 2030, because there are still 13% of temporary schools, in some places the rate is up to more than 40%, especially in preschools and primary schools.
Although the treatment regime for teachers is very important, the Minister frankly shared that " giving money to people is not easy" due to regulations and spending norms. See more...
School staff are excited about the new allowance policy, expecting to reduce income pressure
Resolution 71-NQ/TW clearly stipulates for the first time the policy for school staff, raising the minimum occupational allowance to 30% for staff, 70% for teachers and 100% for teachers in extremely disadvantaged areas. The Ministry of Education and Training is drafting a Decree to concretize this policy, in order to recognize the important but silent role of the workforce in the education system.
Currently, school staff have to take on a large workload, high pressure but low income. Many people like Ms. Nguyen Thi Nhan - a clerical staff at Mai Lam Secondary School (Dong Anh Commune, Hanoi) have been attached to it for 18 years, only receiving more than 6 million VND/month and having to work overtime from early morning to night to cover living expenses. The increase in allowances is expected to help them reduce their difficulties and have motivation to stick with their profession.
Similarly, Ms. Ta Thi Minh Hue - accountant of a kindergarten in Hoan Kiem ward (Hanoi) has worked for more than 10 years but her salary is only 7.4 million VND, having to sell evening gourds to take care of her family with two young children. See more...
