Increasing teachers' salaries by up to 7 million VND/person/month is only part of reform

Lê Thanh Phong |

The expected basic salary of teachers is increased by at least about 2 million VND, the maximum can increase to 5 - 7 million VND/person/month.

Minister Nguyen Kim Son provided the above information in an interview with the press before the new school year. Please note, this additional fee is only calculated with the basic salary, not calculated with other allowances.

The education sector is focused on and invested in with breakthrough policies, and the whole society welcomes this.

First of all, tuition exemption for students in public schools, and to ensure fairness and support for students in non-public schools.

Another new information, by 2030, students nationwide will be provided with free textbooks.

But in addition to the policy for students, there is also a policy for teachers. Our ancestors taught us: "Only by truth can we find salvation". Only teachers with a stable income, guaranteed living and activities can wholeheartedly focus on their career.

Increasing salaries and allowances for teachers is also for that reason.

However, teachers must be worthy of being a teacher, a pedagogue, with high expertise, meeting current educational and training requirements.

The Ministry of Education and Training plans that teacher recruitment will include 2 rounds, compatible with current regulations on civil servant recruitment.

Round 2 focuses on expertise and professionalism, ensuring correct assessment of pedagogical capacity and professional skills of candidates at each level of education and each training level.

Training and recruiting highly qualified and professional teachers is a correct and scientific policy.

Increasing teachers' salaries and allowances commensurate with labor capacity will promote high-quality human resources for the pedagogical sector. Good students, with dreams and a love for the teaching profession, will take the entrance exam to a pedagogical school to fulfill their dream of becoming teachers.

High-quality input, high-quality training, will provide society with a generation of good and professional teachers, who are pedagogical, ethical and responsible.

Resolution 71 has set a target of investing in developing 3-5 elite universities according to the model of international-class research universities, training national talents.

To have an elite university, there must be excellent admission students, those people graduate from high school. So, only good teachers can teach good students, creating a source of intellectual human resources for the future of the country.

After all, investing in education must first of all be investing in people, here is the teaching staff.

But teachers' salaries and allowances are only part of reform.

Next is to invest in building schools, not just rooms with tables, chairs and black and whiteboard boards, but a comprehensive educational space.

Teachers and students, graduating from school and graduating from school form an elite intellectual force for the country.
