Principles for Determining Staffing Norms in Public Preschools
Article 2 of Circular 19/2023/TT-BGDDT stipulates the principles for determining staffing norms in public preschools as follows:
- Determining job positions and staffing norms in public preschools is implemented according to Article 3 of Decree 106/2020/ND-CP.
- Job positions and staffing norms in public preschools must ensure:
+ Adequate staffing numbers as per the norms stipulated in this Circular to perform the tasks of nurturing, caring for, and educating children according to the preschool education program issued by the Ministry of Education and Training, and to perform shared professional tasks, support, and service work of the public preschool.
+ Job positions that do not have sufficient workload for a full-time individual are assigned as additional duties. Positions that cannot be staffed should be handled via labor contracts or additional duties. Individuals assigned additional tasks must be trained and fostered to meet the professional capacity and expertise of the given job position.
- The number of teachers in public preschools includes both employed public employees and contracted teachers. Public preschools deploying a teacher workforce lower than the maximum norm specified in this Circular (due to insufficient quotas or unfulfilled recruitment) should base on the maximum norms specified in this Circular to determine the number of teachers to contract as per Decree 111/2022/ND-CP.
Circular 19/2023/TT-BGDDT takes effect from December 16, 2023.
