For accounting and clerical staff positions: Each new school (after arrangement) is allocated a maximum of 02 accounting staff and 01 clerical staff. The number of redundant staff after arrangement is reserved to complete the handover and finalization work until December 30, 2026.
Hanoi City People's Committee also noted the full implementation of regimes and policies for cadres, civil servants and employees affected by the arrangement process.
For redundant employees with qualifications suitable for the teacher position, they may be considered for changing professional titles to be arranged as teachers.
The settlement of regimes for redundant public employees is carried out according to current regulations; payroll streamlining funds are guaranteed from the source of non-business units or the state budget depending on the type of unit.
In addition to Hanoi, Phu Tho also has guidelines for arranging redundant school staff.
Phu Tho Department of Education and Training has a temporary document guiding the People's Committees of communes and wards to develop plans and organize the arrangement and reorganization of preschool, general education, continuing education - vocational education and specialized public schools under their management.
In the process of arrangement, the Department notes that cases of redundant employees with training qualifications suitable for the job position, which are teachers, may be considered for conversion of professional titles to be arranged for the teacher job position.
The settlement of policies and regimes for redundant public employees is implemented according to the provisions of Decree 154/2025/ND-CP dated June 15, 2025 of the Government.
Conditions for school staff to convert to teachers
For localities that have policies allowing redundant employees to change professional titles to be arranged for teacher positions, school staff must meet the conditions according to the provisions of law.
According to the provisions of Article 32 of the Law on Civil Servants, when a public non-business unit has a need, a civil servant can be transferred to a new job position if he meets the professional and nghiệp vụ standards of that job position and performs the change of professional title.
Article 29 of Decree No. 115/2020/ND-CP stipulates the cases of changing professional titles for public employees, including: "Considering transfer from this professional title to another professional title corresponding to the same level of work complexity as required by the job position".
Thus, to change positions, first of all, school staff must see if the school has a need for a teacher position or not, and whether there is a shortage of teachers in which subject. Next, school staff must meet the standards of professional qualifications such as degrees, certificates... that the teacher position is lacking.
To ensure their rights, school staff can express their wishes to the principal so that the principal can propose to management levels (if the school has a need for a teacher position) to have recruitment, use and management plans in accordance with the provisions of law.
