Commune level has the right to recruit teachers after abolishing the Department of Education and Training

The above content is guided by the Ministry of Education and Training in Official Dispatch 1581 sent to the People's Committees of provinces and cities on ensuring the maintenance and improvement of the quality and efficiency of school operations when implementing the 2-level local government model.

Accordingly, the Ministry of Education and Training allows the commune level to direct the recruitment of preschool teachers according to the number of employees approved by the competent authority. At the same time, the authority has been allowed to decide the number of labor contracts for job positions in preschools, primary schools, and secondary schools, ensuring enough employees according to the required general education program.

The Ministry of Education and Training also assigned the Department of Education and Training to recruit, appoint, and transfer teachers to schools in the area under its management.

Previously, public teacher recruitment was carried out like general civil servant recruitment, by the internal affairs sector and the People's Committees at district/provincial levels.

Thus, in the coming time, the function of recruiting teachers at all levels will be more strongly decentralized to the commune level and the Department of Education and Training of localities.

At the same time, in the draft Law on Teachers submitted to the National Assembly for consideration and discussion, the Ministry of Education and Training proposed that the authority to recruit teachers in public educational institutions be chaired by the educational management agency or decentralized and authorized to the educational institution.

For educational institutions granted autonomy, the principal is responsible for recruitment. For non-public educational institutions, recruitment is conducted by the school according to the school's regulations on organization and operation.

Similarly, regarding the mobilization, arrangement and appointment of teachers, the draft Law stipulates that educational management agencies shall take the lead in advising, deciding or recognizing according to assigned authority.

The draft Law also stipulates that the method of recruiting teachers can be one of two forms: selection or examination, but pedagogical practice is required.

The Ministry of Education and Training explained that this requirement will help increase the professional quality of those recruited as teachers, and select the right people for the profession.

Still related to the content of teacher recruitment, the Law stipulates the subjects that are given special privileges and priorities.

The first priority group of special subjects is talented teachers including: highly qualified people, excellent graduates, young scientists, people with special talents in the fields of culture, arts, sports, and traditional professions suitable for the teaching profession.

The second group is volunteers working in ethnic minority areas, mountainous areas, border areas, islands and areas with especially difficult socio-economic conditions, pedagogical graduates recruited or ordered between localities and training institutions.

The third group is teachers who have had a labor contract in an educational institution for 2 years or more.
