What are the current salaries of teachers at all levels?

According to the new salary table applied from July 1 (after increasing the basic salary from 1.8 to 2.34 million VND/month), grade III preschool teachers are currently the group receiving the lowest salary, from about 4.9 to 11.4 million VND/month, depending on the level (not including allowances and seniority).

Primary, secondary and high school teachers of grade I receive the highest salaries. Of these, those with a salary coefficient of 6.78 receive a salary of nearly 16 million VND/month (excluding allowances and seniority).

Current salaries of teachers at all levels are specifically as follows:

Formula for calculating teachers' general income: Income level = Basic salary x salary coefficient + allowance + seniority.

For teachers, depending on their position and workplace, each person can receive one or several allowances: seniority allowance (5% after 5 years of work, 1% added each year), career incentives (25-50%), position allowance, seniority allowance beyond the framework, special allowances for teachers who are artisans, teachers of the disabled, teachers working in areas with especially difficult conditions.

In the Draft Law on Teachers, which will be submitted for comments at the upcoming National Assembly session, the Ministry of Education and Training proposes that teachers' salaries be ranked highest in the administrative and career salary scale system. The Ministry also proposes to raise teachers' starting salaries by one level.

Explaining this, a representative of the Ministry of Education and Training said that according to a survey, among the teachers who have left the profession recently, up to 61% are under the age of 35 and one of the reasons for this situation is low income, not enough to cover living needs. Meanwhile, young people have many things to worry about such as supporting themselves, taking care of their children, and the need to study to improve their qualifications.

At the same time, the salary of teachers with less than 5 years of experience is currently very low. That is the reason why the Ministry of Education and Training proposed to raise the starting salary for teachers by 1 level, in order to encourage young people to enter the teaching profession. This is also part of realizing the goal of the highest salary for teachers in the salary scale.
