These are very important policies in the context of we implementing fundamental and comprehensive innovation in education, a pillar policy to attract talented people, attract teachers for ethnic minority areas, mountainous areas, border areas, islands and areas with particularly difficult socio-economic conditions.
However, Mr. Hai said that the regulations need to be strict and feasible, avoiding policy profiteering.
"I suggest that the subjects need to be more clearly defined, need to be regulated to inherit the provisions of the law on recruitment for students who are excellent graduates. There should be specific regulations on criteria to determine highly qualified people, talented people, people with special talents, and people with high vocational skills to determine appropriate priority subjects" - Mr. Hai proposed.
