According to Official Dispatch 777/TTg-TCCV dated July 10, 2026 of the Prime Minister on arranging public preschool and general education institutions at provincial and commune levels, localities when merging schools must simultaneously develop plans to arrange the team of management officials, teachers and staff to ensure the operation of schools after reorganization.
How will school health workers be arranged?
Official Dispatch 777 requests localities to review and arrange a sufficient number of teachers and staff according to the assigned payroll and current standards.
For cases of surplus personnel arising after mergers, localities must develop plans to arrange or resolve appropriate regimes. Specifically, it is possible to consider transferring to commune-level education officials, rotating to other suitable positions or resolving retirement according to the regime, based on the capacity and aspirations of employees and job requirements.
The document does not stipulate cutting or terminating job positions for school health workers after the merger. Continuing to work or transfer will be considered based on the actual needs of each locality and the new school model.
Is it possible to preserve post-merger allowances?
According to Official Dispatch 777, the preservation of regimes and allowances is regulated for management officials affected by the arrangement of the apparatus, such as principals, vice-principals and other management titles as prescribed.
For school health workers, the official dispatch does not have specific regulations on preserving allowances.
This means that the continued enjoyment or preservation of allowances will depend on the job position after being arranged, regulations of specialized laws, policies of each locality and decisions of competent authorities when implementing the arrangement plan.
In case after the merger, redundant personnel arise and there are no longer suitable positions to arrange, Official Dispatch 777 allows resolving resignation according to the regime suitable to capacity, aspirations and job requirements.
Depending on specific cases, employees may be considered for staff streamlining policies or other policies according to the provisions of law if they meet the conditions.
According to current regulations, school merger does not mean that school medical staff will be cut or lose their jobs. If redundancy arises, competent authorities must develop a plan to arrange or resolve appropriate regimes.
