The latest draft Law on Teachers adds provisions related to teachers' rights.
Removing limitations and shortcomings in management and operation of university-affiliated enterprises
Notably, teachers are allowed to conduct scientific research and transfer scientific research products according to the provisions of law on scientific research and intellectual property.
Participate in the management and operation of enterprises established by higher education institutions operating in the fields of scientific development, application and technology transfer.
Previously, in the report on receiving and explaining this content, Chairman of the Committee on Culture and Education Nguyen Dac Vinh said that there was a proposal to add the right of teachers to participate in managing and operating technology enterprises of higher education institutions.
The Standing Committee of the Culture and Education Committee stated that currently, the Law on Higher Education stipulates that higher education institutions are allowed to establish enterprises.
According to relevant laws such as the Law on Civil Servants, the Law on Enterprises, and the Law on Anti-Corruption, civil servants are not allowed to participate in the management and operation of enterprises, except in cases where specialized laws provide otherwise.
In response to the opinions of National Assembly delegates, to remove limitations and shortcomings in the management and operation of enterprises belonging to higher education institutions, the examining agency and the drafting agency agreed to propose adding the rights of teachers.
Accordingly, participating in the management and operation of enterprises established by higher education institutions operating in the fields of scientific development, application and technology transfer.
At the same time, review and amend the provisions of relevant laws in the transitional provisions.
Teachers participating in business management is "very revolutionary"
At the 42nd session of the National Assembly Standing Committee, expressing his opinion on this content, Chairman of the National Assembly's Science and Technology Committee Le Quang Huy stated that the Law on Civil Servants has provisions that lecturers have the right to contribute capital, however, the current Law on Civil Servants stipulates that they are not allowed to participate in the management of enterprises and companies...
Mr. Huy also said that currently, the Science and Technology Committee is in the process of reviewing and reporting to relevant authorities on amending the legal system to serve innovation, science and technology.
"We are discussing with agencies to clearly express our view that lecturers are allowed to contribute capital and participate in managing start-up businesses.
In fact, these are businesses that use intellectual property as research results to commercialize products, clearly demonstrating the connection between institutes, schools and businesses. This should be supported," Mr. Huy stated.
Head of the Delegation Affairs Committee Nguyen Thanh Hai said that the regulation allowing teachers to participate in business management is "extremely revolutionary" and also contributes to implementing Resolution 57 of the Politburo.
From her practical experience teaching at Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Ms. Hai believes that forming technology enterprises in higher education institutions is extremely important, contributing to the development of the country's technology industry.
In universities, there are models like technology "incubators", from which technology ideas are transferred to science and technology businesses within the school.
Teachers in the school are leaders of scientific research projects at all levels, and have ideas and projects in technology "incubators" that are transferred to businesses run and managed by the teachers themselves.
This will be extremely favorable, contributing greatly to the implementation of Resolution No. 57, "unleashing" technologists who are also teachers in major universities.
