When it is considered a strategic breakthrough and a national policy, there must be some priorities.

Discussing the salary regulations in the draft Law on Teachers, Minister Nguyen Kim Son stated: When developing, we also have to look at other sectors, not wanting our sector to have privileges, benefits or "unusual" favors. However, among the 1.6 million teachers, the majority do not have enough to live on, so they cannot wholeheartedly devote themselves to teaching. In the current context, the country has just escaped poverty and is not yet rich, so it is impossible to "line up" priorities for everything. But when it is considered a strategic breakthrough, a national policy, there must definitely be a few priorities.

Minister Nguyen Kim Son: November 20 this year is more special, the happiness of teachers is multiplied when at this time the National Assembly discusses the Law on Teachers.

Speaking to receive the opinions of National Assembly delegates, Minister Nguyen Kim Son shared that today is a special day, a holiday, a happy day for more than 1 million people working in the education sector.

November 20th this year is more special, the happiness of teachers is multiplied when this is the right time for the National Assembly to discuss the Law on Teachers. Previously, the Government and the National Assembly agreed to build and submit the draft Law on Teachers, which was a great encouragement for millions of teachers nationwide.

Thanking the opinions of the National Assembly delegates discussing the draft Law on Teachers, the Minister expressed that with the highly supportive, approving, and unified views that have been discussed, one can feel the consensus of the delegates; that is not only support for the draft Law on Teachers, but also demonstrates responsibility to the education sector and the country.

Regarding the majority of delegates' opinions contributing to specific contents and detailed regulations, the Minister said that the Drafting Committee will fully absorb and study each opinion to include in the Law, but most of them will be included in Decrees, Circulars, and guiding documents.

According to the Minister, in addition to the Law on Teachers, there is also the Law on Education and many other laws, so the draft Law on Teachers cannot cover everything. In addition, the draft Law must also accept a few points that are different from other laws to suit the development of the teaching force.

“For example, regulations on retirement age, regulations on transfers, regulations on inter-school and inter-level teaching…”, the Minister cited and said that if it is considered different but serves the goal of developing the teaching staff, bringing goodness to teachers - I hope the delegates will support it.

Regarding some opinions on teachers' salary scales, the Minister said that when developing, we must also look at other sectors, not wanting our sector to have "unusual" privileges, benefits or favors.

However, among the 1.6 million teachers, most do not make enough to live on, and cannot devote themselves wholeheartedly to teaching.

In the current context, the country has just escaped poverty and is not yet rich, so it cannot “lay out” priorities for everything. But when it is considered a strategic breakthrough, a national policy, then there must definitely be some priorities.

Minister Nguyen Kim Son: The policy is not to ban extra teaching but to ban unethical acts in extra teaching.

The policy is not to prohibit extra teaching but to prohibit unethical behavior in extra teaching.

Regarding the issue of extra teaching raised by some delegates, the Minister said that the policy is not to prohibit extra teaching but to prohibit unethical acts in extra teaching, including "teachers forcing students to take extra classes".

Emphasizing the need to absorb as many opinions as possible, including 90 opinions discussed in groups and 36 opinions discussed in the hall of the 8th Session of the 15th National Assembly, Minister Nguyen Kim Son affirmed that the draft Law on Teachers was developed partly because of the difficulties of teachers, but the main reason is to develop the teaching staff.

On the occasion of Vietnamese Teachers' Day, November 20, on behalf of educators, Minister Nguyen Kim Son sent best wishes to National Assembly delegates who are working in the education sector.
