One of the notable contents published by the Ministry Education and training (Education & Training) included in the proposed provisions of the Law on Teachers is the issuance of teacher professional certificates (GCNNNNG).
After this information Many opinions have been published, worrying that the regulations for issuing teacher professional certificates may be transformed into a “child license”, causing difficulties and costs for teachers.
Talk with reporters Member of Dan Tri Dr. Vu Minh Duc, Director of the Department of Teachers and Educational Management Officers of the Ministry of Education and Training, affirmed that the issuance of GCNNNNG does not give rise to administrative procedures.
According to the Director of the Directorate, the Certificate of Education is issued free of charge to replace the Decision recognizing the end of probation (current) for those who have completed into a probationary system and certified by the educational institution as meeting the standards from the pass level (lowest level) or higher according to the professional standards for teachers of an educational level or training level.
In higher education institutions, when the institution has a need, those who have a lot of experience in training activities, if they meet the standards, can be considered for their first appointment not as lecturers but as lecturers major or senior lecturer and be granted a Certificate of Education without having to go through the probationary regime.
Mr. Duc believes that the introduction of regulations on the issuance of Certificates of Education comes from the current inadequacies when teachers of Public educational institutions need to have a decision to recognize the completion of probation and recruitment decisions.
Dr. Vu Minh Duc analyzed that when transferring to another educational institution, the above decisions do not exist. Use value causes difficulties for teachers. On the other hand, in the process of professional development, teachers must be evaluated and granted training certificates according to professional title standards, this procedure is not really reasonable.
For establishments In non-public education, teachers working in this unit are not evaluated to recognize all internships and confirm promotions in terms of capacity for professional educational activities as a basis for ensuring official regimes. books.
Mr. Duc said this causes inequality between public and non-public teachers and possibly between teachers in the same non-public educational institution; At the same time, it makes it difficult for the exchange of teachers between these two types.
Along with that, the Director of the Department of Teachers and Educational Management Officers pointed out that in the context of international integration, Teacher exchange between Vietnam and other countries is increasing because there is always a certain gap between the output level of teacher training schools and the actual skill and competency requirements for teachers.
The absence of certificates certifying the professional capacity of teachers often makes it difficult to ensure the quality of teachers from abroad coming to Vietnam to teach.
Dong At the time, without a teacher’s certificate, many administrative procedures would be needed, causing difficulties for teachers and educational institutions when exchanging teachers with foreign countries, including Vietnamese teachers going abroad and Teachers are foreigners entering Vietnam.
From the above shortcomings, Dr. Vu Minh Duc emphasized that the purpose of issuing GCNNNNG is a document issued by a competent Vietnamese educational management agency. for those who meet the professional standards of teachers to confirm that they fully meet the requirements for professional activities of teachers (educational teaching) and overcome the above shortcomings.
The process of proposing the The unit also evaluated the positive impact of granting GCNNNNG on teachers and educational institutions.
Dr. Vu Minh Duc stated that GCNNNNG creates convenience for teachers if there are changes in the place of operation. career movement. The paper is valid for nationwide use, so no matter where the teacher teaches, there is no need to re-implement the probationary regime.
This also reduces procedures for teachers when transferring and signing Indefinite working contract, fixed-term contract for guest teaching or inter-school teaching.
Educators can also easily transfer from a public educational institution to a non-public educational institution or vice versa. again; when the teacher has retired but still participates in teaching according to the needs of the educational institution.
Also according to Mr. Duc, GCNNNNG has the value of ensuring uniformity in the quality of teaching and education among teachers. educational institutions and receive training certificates according to current teacher professional title standards.
The reason is because the GCNNNNG is valid for use throughout the time the teacher is engaged in educational teaching activities except in the case of revocation or temporary suspension of activity; At the same time, the content of the Certificate of Education records the process of promoting teacher positions.
Together With that, GCNNNNG ensures many requirements of international integration. Currently, most countries require educational workers to have a license or certificate of professional competency.
Vietnam and other countries will mutually recognize these types of licenses according to general treaties and other specific regulations; Making the exchange of teachers between countries most convenient is controlling the quality of foreigners participating in educational activities in Vietnam.
Regarding procedures, Director Vu Minh Duc said There will be a smooth transition. When the Law on Teachers comes into effect, teachers who have made recruitment decisions and are teaching at educational establishments will be granted Certificates of Education without the need for assessment and testing.
Retired teachers If you wish to retire, you will also be granted a Certificate of Merit to recognize your dedication to education or to use to continue your professional activities.
After the information about the expected issuance of Certificate of Merit was issued, many expert opinions from readers sent to Dan Tri</em > think it is not necessary to add this certification.
Mr. Pham Van Chung, Department of Justice of Kon Tum province, stated that granting professional certification to teachers will increase social resource costs such as additional paperwork related to travel. … creates more pressure and burden for teachers.
Journalist Nguyen Van Thieng Dai, Voice of Vietnam, shares that the impact of this proposal if implemented is not small because Vietnam is currently There are more than 15 million teachers nationwide, so the problem needs to be “dissected” from many sides and thoroughly evaluated.
Mr. Thieng personally, as a former teacher who used to studying Pedagogy and having been a high school teacher for many years, found this proposal not convincing enough.
