Preschool teachers have very low salaries.

Responding to delegates about the salary policy for preschool teachers, Minister of Home Affairs Pham Thi Thanh Tra said that implementing Decree 204 and Decision 244, the Party and State have paid attention to the implementation of preferential allowances for the profession. Overall, preschool teachers' salaries are very low, only about 5-6 million VND/month.
