A representative of the Department of Teachers and Education Managers (Ministry of Education and Training) said that the training roadmap to improve the qualifications of preschool, primary and secondary school teachers according to Decree 71 has been implemented for nearly 4 years, helping to significantly increase the rate of preschool, primary and secondary school teachers who have achieved the standard qualifications nationwide.
Teachers will be funded for training to improve their qualifications according to new regulations.
However, during the implementation process, there are still some difficulties related to training methods, opening training classes and implementing support policies for non-public preschool teachers in industrial zones who are eligible to upgrade their training standards.
Therefore, the revised and supplemented content focuses on 3 policies to overcome difficulties in the practical implementation process.
Will teachers who pay for their own standard improvement get back pay?
One of the issues of concern is the funding for implementing the roadmap to improve the standard training level of teachers.
The draft states: the funding for implementing the roadmap to improve the standard training level of teachers (public, private, non-public) is guaranteed by the local budget according to the provisions of the State Budget Law and other funding sources according to the provisions of the law; the central budget supports localities when the budget cannot be balanced to carry out this task.
The preparation of estimates, allocation, assignment of estimates and payment of implementation costs to training institutions assigned tasks or placed orders shall comply with the provisions of the State Budget Law and relevant legal documents. The unit price for performing tasks or placing orders shall be determined by the tuition fee level of the training institution assigned tasks or placed orders.
Teachers sent for training to improve their qualifications according to regulations will be paid the training fee at the tuition fee according to the invoice of the training institution after being granted a graduation certificate. Payment of training fees is made according to the provisions of relevant laws.
Private educational institutions ensure funding to pay benefits for teachers sent for training to improve their qualifications.
The Department of Teachers and Education Managers also said that the draft draft supplements regulations on payment of training fees for teachers (subject to training under Decree No. 71/2020/ND-CP) who have studied on their own and received degrees since July 1, 2020. Thus, teachers who pay for their own training to upgrade their qualifications will be entitled to back pay if the above regulation is issued.
Teachers are selected for training facilities to improve their standards.
The draft also eliminates the bidding method, retaining the method of assigning tasks and ordering training facilities according to the approved plan. It adds a provision that teachers can proactively choose and register to study to upgrade their qualifications directly with public training facilities when the industry or major that the teacher registers to train does not meet the conditions for the locality to open classes according to the method of assigning tasks or ordering.
Training to upgrade qualifications must have written consent from the principal or director of the educational institution where the teacher is working and reported to the direct educational management agency of the educational institution.
Supplementing regulations that during the implementation of the roadmap to improve the standard training level, teachers who have not yet met the standard training level of preschool teachers, working at private preschools in areas with industrial parks, are entitled to enjoy policies according to regulations in Article 10 of Decree No. 105/2020/ND-CP.
In addition, the draft decree also amends and supplements a number of other relevant provisions to ensure consistent implementation with the above amendments.
Why do many teachers have to improve their standards?
By the end of the 2023-2024 school year, the rate of teachers and managers meeting the training standards according to the 2019 Education Law was 89.3% at the primary level, 89.9% at the secondary level, 93.8% at the high school level, and 99.9% at the high school level. Compared to the 2022-2023 school year, the rate of teachers meeting the standards at the preschool level increased by 1.9%, at the primary level increased by 5.5%, and at the secondary level increased by 2.9%.
The 2005 Education Law stipulates the standard training level of preschool and primary school teachers with a secondary pedagogical college diploma; secondary school teachers with a college pedagogical college diploma or a college diploma and a certificate of pedagogical training...
However, the 2019 Education Law significantly raises the standard training level of teachers with the regulation: "Having a bachelor's degree in teacher training or higher for primary, secondary and high school teachers. In case of a missing subject, a bachelor's degree in a relevant major and a certificate of pedagogical training must be obtained". Teachers who have not met this training standard will be able to participate in the roadmap to upgrade their training standards according to regulations.
