After localities implement the rearrangement of the school network according to the large-scale school model, accountants, cashiers and clerks will no longer be arranged separately at each school as before but will be organized into a common administrative - personnel department. For surplus cases after merger, localities will develop plans for transfer, assignment to work or settlement of benefits according to regulations.
According to point a, section 2.2 of Official Dispatch 777/TTg-TCCV, the arrangement of public kindergartens, primary schools, secondary schools and high schools according to the large-scale school model aims to streamline the apparatus and improve management efficiency.
For the model of a large-scale single-level school (or continuing education center) with branches, the personnel structure includes a principal, vice principals, a common administrative - personnel department, including accountants, cashiers, clerical staff and educational support personnel according to specific expertise.
Similarly, with the model of large-scale multi-level general schools organized at one or more locations, including the main school and branches, school sites, the common administrative - personnel department also takes on accounting, cashier and clerk positions.
Thus, after the school merger, the positions of accountant, cashier and clerk will be organized centrally in the administrative - personnel department of the large-scale school. The organization according to this model aims to reduce management focal points, effectively use human resources and ensure unified operation between the main school, branch and school sites.
How will redundant accountants, treasurers, and clerks be resolved?
The reorganization of the apparatus may also generate redundant support personnel. According to section 5.2 of Official Dispatch 4054/BGDĐT-GDPT, the Ministry of Education and Training assigns the Department of Education and Training to preside over and coordinate with the Department of Home Affairs and the Department of Finance to develop a plan to arrange and resolve regimes for redundant support personnel, including accountants, clerks and cashiers.
At the same time, point a section 3.2 of Official Dispatch 777/TTg-TCCV dated July 10, 2026 requires localities to develop plans to arrange, specifically arrange or resolve policies for redundant staff after mergers. Options may include transferring to commune-level education officials, rotation to teachers if conditions are met or resolving resignation according to regulations suitable to capacity, aspirations and job requirements.
Thus, when surplus accountants, cashiers, clerks or support personnel arise after mergers, localities are responsible for developing appropriate handling plans. The settlement is not only limited to the severance regime but prioritizes considering transferring and rearranging personnel according to actual needs.
