How does the Ministry of Education and Training guide school management when the district level is abolished?

According to the Ministry of Education and Training, on April 7, the Government issued Resolution 74 on the Plan for implementing the reorganization of administrative units and building a two-level local government organization model. Accordingly, the Government assigned the Ministry of Education and Training to issue guidelines to ensure the maintenance and improvement of the quality and efficiency of educational and training institutions in administrative units undergoing reorganization.

The Department of Education and Training carries out the arrangement, mobilization and secondment of teachers.

The Ministry of Education and Training requests that the provincial People's Committee only review and determine the current state management contents of education at the district level to adjust and transfer to the provincial level (Department of Education and Training) or the commune People's Committee for management.

Unify the implementation of state management of education for the sector's expertise; recruitment, arrangement, transfer, secondment, and development of teaching staff by the provincial professional agency (Department of Education and Training) to implement uniformly throughout the province to regulate in general and handle local teacher surplus and shortage situations.

During the implementation process at the local level, the Ministry of Education and Training requests that the provincial People's Committees not allow any gaps, overlaps or dispersion of management tasks, especially in key areas such as: professional guidance, program content, staff management, finance, school facilities, inspection and examination.

When implementing decentralization of state management of education, it is necessary to ensure consistency with the orientation of the laws that the Government is preparing to submit to the National Assembly for approval (Law on Teachers; Law on Education amended and supplemented; Law on Local Government amended; Law on Vocational Education amended...) to effectively implement state management of specialized professional activities of the education sector.

The Ministry of Education and Training noted that the provincial People's Committee should assign the focal point for state management of the education sector to the level that has sufficient resources in terms of facilities, finance, and human resources to ensure the maintenance and development of education; clearly distinguish between professional tasks (directly assigned to the Department of Education and Training) and administrative and local tasks (directly assigned to the commune-level People's Committee); link decentralization with inspection and supervision mechanisms, improve the quality and effectiveness of education in the best conditions in the locality.

Commune authorities manage education for secondary schools, primary schools, and kindergartens.

Regarding implementation, the Ministry of Education and Training recommends that localities maintain educational public service units and transfer to commune-level authorities the function of state management of education for secondary schools, primary schools, and kindergartens according to Conclusion No. 137 of the Politburo and Secretariat on the Project to rearrange and reorganize administrative units at all levels and build a 2-level local government organization model.
