Roadmap to abolish teacher seniority allowance, apply new salary policy
According to the Law on Teachers, effective from January 1, 2026, the seniority allowance for teachers will end when salary policy reform is implemented. Previously, teachers were still entitled to seniority allowances according to Decree 77/2021/ND-CP, calculated from the 5th working year onwards and gradually increased according to the number of teaching years. The abolition of this allowance aims to pay salaries according to job position, capacity, create fairness and improve income for young teachers.
Instead of seniority allowances, the new salary policy is built according to Resolution 27-NQ/TW with a structure including basic salary (about 70%) and professional preferential allowances (about 30%). The Law on Teachers affirms that teachers' salaries are ranked highest in the administrative and non-business salary scale, and the specific level is specified by the Government in guiding decrees associated with the general salary reform roadmap.
Along with that, many new allowance and incentive regimes are added from 2026. Resolution 248/2025/QH15 stipulates professional preferential allowances of at least 70% for teachers, 30% for employees and 100% for teachers working in particularly difficult areas. The draft decree also supplements allowances such as work responsibilities, mobility, hardship, hazards, and dangers to correctly recognize the nature, conditions and workload of the teaching staff.
