The Ministry of Home Affairs has sent documents to provinces and cities guiding the implementation of staff streamlining policies for preschool teachers.
Over the past time, the Ministry of Home Affairs has received a number of documents from localities asking about the implementation of the policy of streamlining staff for preschool teachers according to Decree 154 of the Government regulating streamlining staff.
Regarding this content, the Ministry of Home Affairs cited 2 specific cases with preschool teachers.
In which, the first case is for preschool teachers who are a minimum of 5 years younger than the retirement age in normal working conditions.
