Regulations on dividing regions to calculate teacher quotas in Vietnam 

Regulations on dividing regions to calculate teacher quotas are as follows:

- Region 1: Communes of Region II and Region III, according to current regulations, belong to ethnic minority and mountainous areas; communes with particularly difficult coastal areas; Communes with particularly difficult socio-economic conditions; island communes, island communes, border communes, and safety zone communes according to the Government's regulations;

- Region 2: Region I communes (except wards and towns) according to current regulations belong to ethnic minority and mountainous areas;

- Region 3: Wards and towns in Region I according to current regulations in ethnic minority and mountainous areas and the remaining communes, wards, and towns.

The number of students/classes by region as a basis for assigning or approving the number of people working in general education establishments is as follows:

- Region 1: Average of 25 students/class for primary school; average of 35 students/class for middle school and high school;

- Region 2: Average 30 students/class for primary school; average 40 students/class for middle and high school levels;

- Region 3: Average 35 students/class for primary school; average 45 students/class for middle and high school levels;

- The number of students/class of boarding high schools for ethnic minorities and specialized high schools shall comply with regulations in the organization and operation regulations.

Determining the number of students/class is calculated specifically by each educational institution, not by commune, district, or province-level administrative units.

Based on the region division regulations, the Provincial People's Committee directs specialized agencies to identify commune-level units for each region as a basis for calculating teacher quotas for general education establishments. For special cases where the number of students/class must be lower or higher than the regional average, the Provincial People's Committee shall decide on the number of students/class appropriate to reality.

Circular 20/2023/TT-BGDĐT takes effect on December 16, 2023.
