Retired teachers are allowed to teach as official teachers from September 1st.
The Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) issued Circular No. 59/2026/TT-BGDDT dated July 15, 2026, regulating full-time contract teachers after retirement and visiting lecturers (Circular No. 59).
Circular No. 59 takes effect from September 1, 2026, replacing the provisions of Circular No. 44/2011/TT-BGDĐT and Circular No. 11/2013/TT-BGDĐT, in order to concretize the provisions of the Law on Teachers, the Law on Education, the Law on Vocational Education and the Law on Higher Education; and at the same time create a unified legal corridor for educational institutions to effectively use a team of experienced teachers, contributing to improving the quality of education and training.
The new Circular supplements a mechanism allowing educational institutions to sign full-time labor contracts with teachers after retirement if they meet the conditions according to regulations.
The Circular clearly stipulates the principles of contract signing, the conditions of teachers, working hours, salaries, allowances, rights and responsibilities of teachers and the responsibilities of educational institutions when using this team. The Circular also emphasizes that the use of teachers after retirement must ensure that it does not affect the strategy of developing a successor team, does not replace the existing teaching staff and complies with the provisions of labor law.

On July 18, social networks spread a parent's post reflecting that their son, who is studying at N.N.X Kindergarten (Tam Binh ward, Ho Chi Minh City), was treated inappropriately by teachers for a long time.
According to this parent's reflection, for many months, the family has noticed their child pale, losing weight, and mentally unstable, so they have taken him to the doctor many times but have not found the cause.
The mother said that after investigating, the family discovered that the baby had been beaten by teachers many times; taken to the warehouse and kitchen area to rest. Notably, the baby was said to have had to sleep on the carpet in front of the toilet instead of resting in the room with friends many times.
Parents also reflect that many mosquito bites often appear on their baby's body because they have to lie in areas without fans or air conditioners.
