Ms. Be Thuy (Cao Bang) has relatives who are teachers at public educational institutions. From September 1989 to June 1992, this person studied at a university, from October 2005 to September 2007, and went to high school in Hanoi.
Ms. Thuy asked: "Do teachers receive seniority allowances during their studies?"

The Ministry of Education and Training responded to this issue on the Government Electronic Information Portal as follows:
The seniority allowance regime for teachers is implemented according to the provisions of Decree No. 77/2021/ND-CP dated August 1, 2021 of the Government. Accordingly, the subjects of application are teachers who are teaching and educating in public educational institutions and have directly taught and educated for 5 years (60 months or more).
Thus, during the time a teacher is in school (specialized, high school, concentrated), if he/she does not participate in teaching and education in educational institutions, he/she will not be eligible for seniority allowances for teachers.
