Preschool teacher salaries to increase sharply after Vietnam Lunar New Year 2021 (Artwork).
According to the provisions of Vietnam's Circular 01/2021/TT-BGDDT, effective from March 20, 2021, all preschool teachers have been re-appointed to professional titles with new codes and classifications. Therefore, the duties and standards of preschool teachers have also changed significantly, especially in terms of salary.
Currently, the salary table promulgated together with Vietnam's Decree 204/2004/ND-CP dated December 14, 2004 of the Government on the salary regime for cadres, civil servants, public employees, and armed forces is still applied. However, in the near future, the new salary for each category of professional title for preschool teachers will have a welcome change, specifically as follows:
- Grade III preschool teachers, code V.07.02.26, may apply the salary coefficient of grade A0 officials, from the salary coefficient of 2.10 to the salary coefficient of 4.89 (currently applied for equivalent classes is salary coefficient 1.86 to 4.06 salary coefficient for class IV and from salary coefficient 2.10 to salary coefficient 4.89 for grade III).
- Grade II preschool teachers, code V.07.02.25, may apply the salary coefficient of grade A1 officials, from the salary coefficient of 2.34 to the salary coefficient of 4.98. (For grade II preschool teachers, there is no change in salary compared to current regulations.)
- Grade I preschool teachers, code V.07.02.24, may apply the salary coefficient of the A2 and A2.2 public employees, from the salary coefficient 4.0 to the salary coefficient 6.38. (In the near future, a Grade II preschool teacher will be appointed to the professional title of Grade I preschool teacher)
>>> Official: Qualified primary school teachers shall have the lowest salary coefficient of 2.34.
The salary ranking upon appointment to the professional title class shall comply with the guidance in Clause 1, Section II of Vietnam's Circular 02/2007/TT-BNV. In addition, for grade IV preschool teachers (code V.07.02.06) who have not met the standard qualifications of preschool teachers as prescribed at Point a, Clause 1, Article 72 of the Law on Education 2009, keep the original code V.07.02.06; apply the salary coefficient of grade B public employees (from salary coefficient 1.86 to salary coefficient 4.06) until they reach the standard level of training; they will be appointed to the professional title of first-class preschool teacher grade III (code V.07.02.26) or until retirement if not subject to raising the standard training level.
