A representative of the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) said that they are studying a proposal to allow school staff to receive allowances commensurate with their position and job. At the same time, the Ministry continues to review and evaluate the complexity of school staff's work to serve as a basis for adjusting current policies.
According to information from the Ministry of Education and Training, currently, nationwide there are about 150,000 civil servants working in support and service jobs in schools; including more than 37,800 accountants; over 32,100 medical staff, over 35,100 librarians, nearly 32,300 laboratory equipment staff, more than 13,600 information technology staff, secretaries, treasurers, education staff, support for the disabled... Most school staff only receive intermediate salary (starting coefficient 1.86) or maximum college salary (starting coefficient 2.1), it is very difficult to be promoted to university salary - even though many people have university degrees due to many regulations and procedures.
In fact, the work of school staff today is very hard and the income is low. Most of the state budget for public schools is focused on the goal of improving the quality of education for students and providing additional allowances for teaching staff. However, school staff positions are not among the beneficiaries of these allowance policies.
According to Decree 204 of the Government, school staff are paid according to the coefficient of 1.86-4.89, equivalent to a monthly salary of about 4.35-11.4 million VND. In addition, medical staff are entitled to a preferential allowance of 20%; accountants, cashiers, and laboratory equipment managers are entitled to a responsibility allowance of 0.1-0.2%. Clerks, librarians, and information technology staff do not receive any allowance. Meanwhile, for the same job but in other state administrative agencies, civil servants are entitled to a public service allowance of 25%.
Previously, in 2023, after the Ministry of Education and Training issued official dispatches guiding the implementation of policies and promotion of professional titles for school staff, a number of localities issued documents on the implementation of policies and promotion of professional titles for this team. It is worth mentioning that although the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the Ministry of Education and Training all have documents regulating job positions and promotion of professional titles, salary regimes and toxic allowances. However, up to now, in addition to salary, school staff in general and school library staff in particular still do not have any additional allowances.
According to Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Thanh Nam - Vice Principal of the University of Education (Vietnam National University, Hanoi), if all school staff are teachers, it will be difficult to classify and rank them. At that time, it is necessary to classify them into library teachers, main library teachers, and senior library teachers. Specifically, Circular 02/2022 of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism clearly stipulates the standards for professional titles and salary classifications for library staff. If library staff are also "teachers" and adjusted according to the Law on Teachers as proposed by many people, it will create inadequacies in determining the scope of the teaching profession, contradicting Circular 02/2022. Recently, the Ministry of Home Affairs issued Circular 05/2024 regulating the standards and conditions for promotion for administrative, clerical, and archival officials; Salary arrangement for those recruited and accepted into civil service according to the provisions of Decree No. 85/2023 of the Government. Accordingly, this document partly meets the wishes of the administrative staff, clerical and archival staff.
Recently, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Hoang Minh Son said that the Ministry has reviewed and coordinated with ministries and branches to advise the Government to amend a number of policies, especially the salary regime for education staff in general and teachers in particular. First of all, it will study and propose that school staff enjoy a vocational allowance regime appropriate to their position and job, commensurate with the nature and level of training. Next, it will review to assess the complexity of the job position of school staff to serve as a basis for adjustment according to current regulations, contributing to improving income...
