Continuing the 42nd Session, on the morning of February 7, the National Assembly Standing Committee gave opinions on explaining, accepting, and revising the draft Law on Teachers.
Regarding the salary and benefits policy for teachers (Article 25), Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee on Culture and Education Nguyen Dac Vinh said: There are opinions in favor of the regulation of increasing 1 salary level in the administrative salary scale system for teachers recruited and paid for the first time; some opinions are still concerned and do not agree with this regulation and suggest that it is necessary to assess the impact of this policy in general relation to the team of cadres, civil servants and public employees of the political system.
The Chairman of the Committee on Culture and Education said: In response to the opinions of National Assembly deputies, point d, clause 1, Article 25 of the draft Law is revised in the direction of "removing the specific provision on increasing 1 salary level in the administrative career salary scale system for teachers recruited and receiving salary for the first time".
Teachers' salaries are ranked highest in the administrative career salary scale system; improving salary policies for civil servants and public employees needs to be researched and calculated synchronously in the process of building salary policies according to job positions.
Regarding the policy of supporting collective accommodation and renting public housing for teachers (Article 26), there are opinions suggesting implementing regulations on the policy of renting public housing for teachers according to the provisions of the Housing Law to ensure the consistency of the legal system. There are opinions suggesting adding a policy of supporting rent for teachers when working in difficult areas according to regulations.
Mr. Nguyen Dac Vinh said, accepting the opinions of delegates, Point a, Clause 2, Article 26 of the draft Law has been revised, accordingly, teachers are entitled to the policy of renting public housing according to the provisions of the Housing Law or are guaranteed collective accommodation when working in ethnic minority areas, mountainous areas, border areas, islands and areas with especially difficult socio-economic conditions.
At the same time, supplement the regulation that in case collective accommodation or public housing cannot be arranged, teachers will be supported with housing rent according to the level of support for renting public housing; remove the criterion of "meeting all essential conditions" in the regulation on collective housing for teachers.
Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee on Culture and Education Nguyen Dac Vinh explains the acceptance and revision of the Law on Teachers.
Regarding the policy of early retirement for preschool teachers (Article 28), the Chairman of the Committee on Culture and Education said: Many opinions agree with the policy of early retirement according to the law for preschool teachers; propose to add the criterion that teachers must have paid social insurance for 20 years or more to be eligible for early retirement and not have their pension rate deducted; there are opinions concerned about the resources to ensure the implementation of this policy and believe that the principle of having paid - having received must be ensured according to the Law on Social Insurance.
According to Mr. Nguyen Dac Vinh, allowing preschool teachers to retire earlier than the legal age is a policy built on the characteristics of their professional activities and is suitable for the characteristics of preschool learners.
Accordingly, Clause 2, Article 28 of the draft Law has revised and supplemented the regulation that teachers in preschool education institutions, if they wish, can retire at an age lower than the retirement age of employees under normal conditions, but not more than 5 years, and the percentage of pension benefits due to early retirement will not be reduced if they have paid social insurance for 20 years or more.
At the same time, the draft Law amends and supplements Clause 3a after Clause 3, Article 66 of the Law on Social Insurance in the transitional provisions.
