(Dan Tri) - The Government has just issued a decree, adjusting regulations on financial support methods for teacher training students.
Specifically, Decree 60/2025/ND-CP amends and supplements a number of articles of Decree 116/2020/ND-CP, dated September 25, 2020 of the Government regulating policies to support tuition fees and living expenses for pedagogical students.
Decree 60/2025/ND-CP has amended, supplemented and adjusted the method of financial support for pedagogical students.
Accordingly, financial support for teacher training students is provided in the form of budget estimates according to budget decentralization. In case the locality has a need for teachers, it is necessary to implement it in the form of assigning tasks and placing orders to affiliated training institutions.
With this regulation, teacher training institutions and students will be funded more promptly and adequately.
Previously, support for teacher training students was "equalized" for all subjects (Photo: My Ha).
Every year, based on the training and learning results of pedagogical students, teacher training institutions notify the list of pedagogical students who are entitled to policies and are in the training period but transfer to another training major, voluntarily drop out of school, do not complete the training program or are disciplined to drop out of school to the People's Committee of the province where the student is a permanent resident or the agency that assigns the task or places the order to notify the recovery of the funds that have been supported for pedagogical students.
For pedagogical students who are supported with funds in the form of budget allocation and are subject to reimbursement, before December 30 of each year, based on the Certificate of working time in the education sector of the pedagogical student, the People's Committee of the province where the student is a permanent resident shall issue a notice to recover the support funds so that the pedagogical student can fully pay back the amount to be reimbursed.
For pedagogical students who receive financial support in the form of assignment or order, they must reimburse the tuition and living expenses support fund. The agency assigning the assignment will issue a notice to recover the support fund so that the pedagogical students can fully pay back according to regulations.
Within 30 days from the date of receipt of the notice from the competent authority, students who are eligible for reimbursement must contact the agency that issued the notice of recovery of the reimbursement to complete the procedures for reimbursement of the support funds.
The maximum period for performing the obligation to reimburse the support fund is 4 years, from the date the student teacher receives the notice of reimbursement.
Within the time limit for performing the obligation to reimburse the cost, the student must pay the reimbursement to the teacher training institution or the agency that places the order or assigns the task (for students who are subject to the order or assignment) according to regulations.
If the pedagogical student does not fulfill the obligation to compensate, the unit that recovers the funds has the right to file a lawsuit in court according to regulations (Illustration: My Ha).
In case the student is late in fulfilling the obligation to repay beyond the prescribed time limit, he/she will be subject to the maximum interest rate applicable to demand deposits as prescribed by the State Bank of Vietnam.
In case the State Bank does not prescribe the maximum interest rate applicable to demand deposits, the subject shall be subject to the interest rate applicable to demand deposits of the Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Industry and Trade at the time of performing the reimbursement obligation.
According to Clause 1, Article 6 of Decree 116/2020/ND-CP, the subjects required to reimburse tuition and living expenses support funds include:
Pedagogical students who have enjoyed the policy of not working in the education sector after 2 years from the date of graduation recognition decision;
Pedagogical students who have enjoyed policies and worked in the education sector but do not have enough working time as prescribed in Point a, Clause 2 of this Article;
Pedagogical students who are entitled to policies during their training period but transfer to another training major, voluntarily drop out of school, do not complete the training program or are disciplined and forced to drop out of school.
If a pedagogical student fails to fulfill the obligation to reimburse, the competent authority issuing the notice to recover the funds has the right to file a lawsuit in court according to the provisions of law.
The Decree takes effect from April 20, 2025 and applies starting from the 2025-2026 school year.
Pedagogical students with a working capacity reduction of 61% or more or who die will have their compensation costs erased.
Decree 116 issued in 2020 stipulates a policy of supporting tuition fees and living expenses "equally" for all pedagogical students.
Specifically, from November 15, 2020, teacher training students will receive State support for tuition fees equal to the tuition fees of the teacher training institution where they study; the State will support 3.63 million VND/month to cover living expenses during their time studying at the school.
However, the implementation of Decree 116 encountered many difficulties, including the situation of students owing living expenses.
In 2023, the Ministry of Education and Training will continue to amend the policy on tuition and living expenses support for pedagogical students.
Accordingly, the support regulations for pedagogical students are adjusted to be based on academic results. Specifically, pedagogical students from the second year onwards, if their average academic score is poor or their training score is poor, will not be considered for support to cover living expenses.
