However, for public preschools, there are still 2 teachers/group, class.

The Department of Education and Training acknowledged that Ho Chi Minh City has had policies to attract preschool teachers, but it still does not meet the needs of living in the city, especially teachers from the provinces who have to rent houses and cover their living expenses. Therefore, upon graduation, they choose to work freely or register for recruitment in private organizations or units to have a higher income. Therefore, the Department of Education and Training proposed short-term and long-term solutions, such as organizing flexible recruitment of civil servants in many forms: examination, selection or admission to civil servants and recruiting in many rounds during the year.

Ho Chi Minh City is lacking 529 public preschool teachers.

Continue to promote decentralization of recruitment organization for public service units, enhance the responsibility of unit leaders, and be proactive in attracting resources to participate. At the same time, sign teacher contracts while not yet recruiting personnel to ensure the operation of the unit.

The Department of Education and Training also said that it will coordinate with the Department of Home Affairs to submit to the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee for consideration and direction on the time of job transfer for civil servants and the time of organizing the first round of civil servant recruitment in the entire city; receiving preschool teachers transferred to work in Ho Chi Minh City according to the needs of the unit.

Continue to propose and develop policies to attract preschool teachers, overcome financial difficulties, and participate long-term in the education sector; strengthen coordination with training institutions to have policies to attract students to study preschool education.

Regarding Decree 105/2020/ND-CP of the Government regulating policies for developing preschool education, the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City proposed to adjust the reduction of the proportion of children of workers and laborers working in industrial parks who enjoy policies at preschool education facilities, and support preschool teachers in private and public types (from 30% to 20%).

By the end of the 2023-2024 school year, Ho Chi Minh City will have 3,469 preschool facilities with 340,746 children. Of which, there are 1,248 schools; 1,955 child care groups, kindergarten classes, and independent preschool classes; 266 child care groups (maximum 7 children).
