From January 1, 2026, abolishing grade division I, II, III
From January 1, 2026, the Law on Teachers officially takes effect, removing the division of grades I, II, III and switching to new teacher titles.
The draft Decree detailing a number of articles of the Law on Teachers is expected to be transferred to the titles of teacher, principal teacher, and senior teacher.
The draft Decree clearly states that the appointment of teachers' titles is carried out when recruiting, receiving and changing job positions.
Teachers who are recruited, received and changed to any job position are appointed to the title of teacher corresponding to that job position. The appointment and change of the title of teacher must be based on the teacher's professional standards.
Ministers of Education and Training, Ministers of National Defense, and Ministers of Public Security shall stipulate codes, appointments, and salary rankings for teacher titles under their management authority.
The change of teacher title is associated with the change of job position, implemented in cases of considering transferring teacher titles and considering professional advancement of teachers.

For public educational institutions, the consideration for professional promotion of teachers must be consistent with the structure according to the professional title approved by competent authorities, except in cases of special promotion consideration.
Teachers are allowed to register for vocational promotion if the educational institution has a need and the teacher meets the professional standards of the teacher according to the provisions of law.
