(NLDO) - Quang Nam province will support 50 - 100 million VND to attract teachers to work in mountainous areas and support monthly living expenses from 1.2 - 1.8 million VND.
On November 20, the Office of the People's Committee of Quang Nam province announced that Mr. Le Van Dung, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, had just signed an official dispatch to register the list of contents to be presented at the 28th session of the 10th Provincial People's Council (regular session at the end of 2024).

According to the document, there are 36 categories of content that the People's Committee of Quang Nam province submitted to the Provincial People's Council at the 28th session. In which, the People's Committee of Quang Nam province submitted a project for the Provincial People's Council to consider issuing a resolution to determine support policies for teachers and civil servants working in mountainous districts in the period of 2025-2026.
Quang Nam Provincial People's Committee said that the education sector staff in general and teachers in particular currently working in mountainous districts of the province are still lacking in quantity and of low quality.
The state's policies and regimes are not strong enough to attract and retain civil servants for a long time, and attracting students to register for admission to mountainous areas is difficult.
According to statistics from 2019 to present, the average rate of civil servants passing recruitment exams in mountainous districts of Quang Nam province is only about 50%.
Since 2019, more than 530 officials in the education sector have been transferred out of the mountainous districts of Quang Nam province. In addition, more than 90 officials working at schools in the mountainous districts have resigned.

Based on the above situation, the People's Committee of Quang Nam province has developed a project to submit to the Provincial People's Council for consideration and issuance of the resolution as mentioned above.
According to the draft resolution, Quang Nam province plans to provide initial support for teachers upon their assignment and monthly living support. The mountainous districts included in the draft resolution include Bac Tra My, Nam Tra My, Dong Giang, Nam Giang, Tay Giang, and Phuoc Son.
The specific support level for officials working for the first time in communes in region III or extremely disadvantaged villages is 100 million VND/person; in communes in region II it is 75 million VND/person; in communes in region I it is 50 million VND/person.
In addition, Quang Nam province plans to provide monthly living allowance of VND1.8 million/person/month for officials working in communes in region III or extremely disadvantaged villages; VND1.5 million/person/month for officials working in communes in region II; and VND1.2 million/person/month for officials working in communes in region I.
Previously, the People's Committee of Quang Nam province sent an official dispatch to ask for opinions from the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET), the Ministry of Finance and relevant ministries on the development of the above policy. According to the feedback from the ministries, the issuance of the resolution is under the authority of the Provincial People's Council. If the budget is balanced, Quang Nam province can implement it without being caught up in regulations, but the central budget does not support it.
In the response letter to the People's Committee of Quang Nam province, the Ministry of Education and Training agreed with the policy of issuing the above resolution of Quang Nam province.
"The issuance of a resolution on mechanisms and policies to support teachers and civil servants is necessary, especially teachers and civil servants working in mountainous districts and ethnic minority areas, to contribute to the long-term stability of the staff and improve the quality of education in localities. At the same time, these policies are decisive factors for the long-term, sustainable development of ethnic minority and mountainous areas," the document of the Ministry of Education and Training stated.
