If so, will she be promoted from rank III to rank II, transferring salary from rank 3, coefficient 3.0 (rank III) currently to rank 1, coefficient 4.0 (rank II) is it correct?

If Ms. Hang is admitted in the promotion consideration to the title of Second-class High School Teacher, the salary coefficient of civil servants of type A2, group A2.2, from a salary coefficient of 4.0 to a salary coefficient of 6.38, will be applied.
