Mr. Tran Van Dien (HCMC) holds a Diploma in Physics - Chemistry Pedagogy and was appointed to the secondary school teacher rank in 2013, the job position is experimental - practical teacher. In 2025, he holds a Bachelor of Natural Sciences degree.
Mr. Dien asked, is he transferred to the title of teacher teaching Natural Sciences? What are the procedures?
The Ministry of Education and Training said that with a Bachelor of Science degree, Mr. Tran Van Dien has met the training standards of a secondary school teacher rank III. However, the procedures for changing positions depend on the current professional title (rank code).
In case he is holding a secondary school teacher rank code (but is assigned to do equipment and testing work), the school principal has the authority to decide to re-assign teaching tasks without having to follow the exam or consideration process.
In case he is holding the rank code for equipment and testing staff (support and service positions), due to the nature of the job being completely different from teachers (specialized positions), the conversion is not carried out mechanically; he is required to participate in the civil servant recruitment exam or consideration (or the process of considering transferring professional titles with examination and testing) when the competent authority has recruitment needs and the unit still has staff quotas.
Mr. Dien is requested to contact the management agency to grasp information and carry out procedures according to regulations.
