Regarding the work of recruitment, transfer, assignment, and staff arrangement for the 2026-2027 school year, the Department of Education and Training's authorization for commune-level People's Committees to perform a number of tasks on recruitment, reception, transfer, transfer, assignment, appointment and management of teachers, managers, and staff of public educational institutions has been implemented in accordance with regulations, in accordance with the policy of decentralization and delegation of power and the requirements for operating the two-level local government model.
According to the Department of Education and Training, through the initial implementation process, it shows that the authorization mechanism has promoted positive effects, contributing to improving the proactiveness and responsibility of commune-level People's Committees in managing staff.
This also helps shorten the processing time of dossiers; creates conditions to promptly solve the personnel needs of educational institutions. At the same time, reduces the pressure of solving centralized work at the Department of Education and Training.
Implementing the directives and guidelines of the Central Government and the city, the Department of Education and Training has directed and guided the People's Committees of communes and wards to focus on reviewing the assigned staffing quotas for 2026, strictly and objectively implementing the process of exams, admissions and receiving civil servants to work, ensuring timely supplementation of the teaching staff and school staff to be sufficient in quantity and synchronous in structure.
Regarding the remaining shortage of staff compared to the assigned staff, the Department of Education and Training said that it is continuing to coordinate with the Department of Home Affairs and the Commune-level People's Committee to review the staff quotas of each unit, according to professional structure/position... On that basis, develop a recruitment plan to ensure sufficient staff recruitment, ensure that there is a team of teachers and school staff that is sufficient in quantity, synchronous in structure, meets professional standards according to regulations and meets task requirements.
With the number of staff members still lacking compared to the norms, public educational institutions directly under the Department of Education and Training and commune-level People's Committees manage to sign labor contracts for some types of jobs in administrative agencies and public non-business units, ensuring a sufficient number of people working at the unit.
The Department of Education and Training and educational institutions of Hanoi have been and are actively implementing training, fostering, and recruitment to have a team of management officials and teachers who are sufficient in number, with the best professional qualifications, skills and management capacity for the new school year 2026 - 2027.
