The Standing Committee of the National Assembly met on 8 October opinion The second round of the draft law on teachers.
The Ministry of Education and Training – the body in charge of drafting the draft Law on Teachers, proposes tuition fees for the biological children and children of teachers who are legally adopted while working to give up
Based on the age of the teacher and the approximate age of their children, the rate of consumption Videos for teachers children of charge It is estimated around 9,200 billion VND per year.
After grasping the above information, many teachers expressed their opinions.
“I don’t agree”
A teacher who worked in Nghe An department openly said that it was not wise to give free education to teachers’ children. First, teachers are state civil servants just like soldiers, police, and state administrative departments. Therefore, there is no reason to exempt teachers’ children from teaching.
In addition, the teaching force is very large, and if teaching is given up for the children of teachers, it will be a deficit in the state budget.
In addition, teachers’ current salaries have improved, compared to the general level in the country association it is not in the lower category so there is no reason to give up tuition.
“On the other hand, there are a lot of issues at stake right now educationa little sensitive. In the current practical context, it will be immediately forbidden to propose free tuition for teachers’ children.
If you feel that the state compensation for the education sector is not enough, change it by increasing the salary and increasing the allowances of teachers, there is no need to take the above steps. ” – said this teacher.
Mr. Le Dinh Hien, a teacher at Dong Bac Ga Intermediate School, Thanh Hoa City, said that the proposal to drop teaching for teachers’ children from preschool to university is a meaningful and humane idea, show great concern to society.
However, Mr.
“If so, please tell me the rules regarding the exemption of tuition for the children of teachers in extremely difficult situations, working in particularly difficult areas” – Mr. Hien emphasized and said that you should the state budget to prioritize tuition exemptions and fee reductions for children of ethnic minorities, people in difficult situations, orphans, seriously ill children, disabled children … and then expand the scope of exemptions and tuition reductions.
The important thing today is to ensure that the whole population can go to school without paying tuition fees, and the tuition fees should be as low as possible, rather than free from certain subjects from others.
As a teacher with my children starting school, I do not agree with the above suggestion although it is a very good suggestion.
“Glad to be interested”
Contrary to the suggestion above, many teachers feel happy because they are interested.
Ms. Le Thi Thu Ngan, Teacher at Nguyen Huu Cau High School, Hoc Mon District said: “As a teacher, I feel happy to hear the above information because I am recognized for my contribution to the education sector . Teachers’ salaries have improved but are not high, so free education for children will relieve a large part of the financial burden. economy. From there, teachers will be more motivated to teach students and devote themselves diligently to their work.”
In the same way, Mr. DTH, a high school teacher in the Go Vap area, said that the proposal to drop tuition for teachers’ children is a proposal for those who work directly in education and teach classes.
Instead of increasing salaries, reducing or denying tuition to children of teachers is also a way to ensure their lives so that teachers feel secure in their contributions. In addition, this also contributes to attracting good people to the education sector.
Need to listen to opinions from society
At the same time, Mr. Vo Kim Bao, a teacher at Nguyen Du High School (District 1), said that the proposal above shows the concern of the Ministry of Education and Training about the lives of teachers. Teachers’ salaries are not high, this support also helps teachers to feel more secure in their work and they can join it and stick to the business for a long time.
However, Mr. Bao recognizes that this work must be carefully considered, first of all it is necessary to listen to the views of society.
“Because it can make many people feel that there is a lack of fairness between professions. Additionally, tuition waivers must be considered a story Do teachers want to get this offer or not? It has to do with everyone’s self-esteem when they receive any favor from society.”
Ensuring balance between subjects
Based on the age of teachers and the approximate age of their children, the expected expenditure is about 9,200 billion VND per year.
The Chairman of the National Assembly Tran Thanh Man assessed the State’s support for him policy This is relatively large.
“Where does this source come from, where does it come from so that we can allocate annual costs? Comrades, yes Make an assessment more detailed to ensure feasibility and fairness in relation to other priority subjects” – the Chairman of the National Assembly noted and said that ensuring fairness between subjects is the most important thing.
The Chairman of the Committee of Culture and Education Nguyen Dac Vinh said that opinions in the study group call for a clear identification of the area and the beneficiaries, a detailed impact assessment, and adequate resources to ensure the implementation of policies to support for teachers and to attract them, especially the policy of Education for teachers’ children for free.
