At the conference to summarize the 2023-2024 school year and deploy tasks for the 2024-2025 school year for the entire education sector, organized by the Ministry of Education and Training this morning (August 19), a number of localities shared difficulties and obstacles in implementing the school year's tasks when the teaching staff is quite lacking compared to the prescribed norms.
The teaching staff is still lacking compared to the norm.
Up to this point, Dien Bien province has fully prepared facilities, teaching equipment, staff and new textbooks, ready to organize for students to return to school and start the new school year.
However, Mr. Vu A Bang, Vice Chairman of Dien Bien Provincial People's Committee, said that in the process of performing its tasks, Dien Bien province still encountered some difficulties and problems.
Some examples include: The teaching staff is still quite lacking compared to the prescribed standards; there is a lack of resources to recruit teachers for the subjects of English, Information Technology, Music, and Fine Arts. The staff has quite a lot of changes at the end of each school year due to work transfers to the lowlands.
According to Mr. Bang, the lack of teachers puts a lot of pressure on teachers because they have to teach extra hours and teach at multiple levels and schools.
In addition, although school facilities have been given priority for investment, there are still many shortcomings, especially housing for boarding students and public housing for teachers; some classrooms are degraded and need to be replaced. Policies for students, teachers and staff are still inadequate. The lives of most staff are still difficult.
In the 2023-2024 school year, Hanoi's education scale will increase by 39 schools and 48,000 students. Up to this point, Hanoi has a very large education scale with 2,913 kindergartens and general schools with nearly 2.3 million students and nearly 130,000 teachers.
With the scale of education continuing to increase every year, compared to the requirements of tasks and the staffing, there is still a shortage of teachers. Vice Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Vu Thu Ha proposed that the Government direct the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Ministry of Education and Training and other ministries to review and re-evaluate the educational staffing standards, especially the structure of subjects and some specific subjects to suit the current teaching work in localities.
The whole country still lacks 113,491 teachers at all levels.
According to the report of the Ministry of Education and Training, after the Politburo added 65,980 positions for the 2022-2026 period to the education sector, the Ministry of Education and Training coordinated with the Ministry of Home Affairs to guide localities in recruiting, managing and using the assigned positions; at the same time, innovated the process of assigning positions and organizing teacher recruitment of localities to ensure timely recruitment of unused assigned positions.
Based on the guidance of the Ministry of Education and Training, localities have actively organized recruitment and achieved certain results. Specifically, as of April 2024, localities have recruited 19,474 teachers out of a total of 27,826 additional positions. To date, the teaching staff has been developed in quantity, gradually overcoming structural shortcomings.
However, the Ministry of Education and Training recognizes that the local shortage of teachers still exists in most localities, especially teachers of new subjects: English, Information Technology, Music, and Fine Arts, but is slow to be overcome, causing difficulties in implementing the curriculum and teaching plan.
As of April 2024, the country still lacks 113,491 teachers at all levels of preschool and general education. The teacher/class ratio at all levels is lower than the norm prescribed by the Ministry of Education and Training.
The main reason, according to the Ministry of Education and Training, is that the attraction to the industry is still limited. The rate of teachers quitting their jobs is still high, and the source of teachers for some specific subjects is still lacking.
Recruitment in localities is still slow, currently there are about 72,000 assigned positions that have not been recruited.
In addition, the number of classes increased due to the increase in the number of students, leading to an increase in the demand for teachers; planning and forecasting of teacher demand from the strategic level to localities were not close enough and did not keep up with reality; population fluctuations and labor migration between regions were large and irregular;...
Faced with the remaining limitations, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong proposed 12 key tasks for the 2024-2025 school year. In particular, focusing on developing a team of teachers, lecturers and educational institution managers to ensure sufficient quantity and improve quality.
