While current regulations stipulate that the working time upon retirement at a higher age is no more than 5 years for both PhDs, associate professors and professors.

Consistent with current educational practices in Vietnam

Talking to reporters from Vietnam Education Electronic Magazine about this new point, Associate Professor, Dr. Lam Nhan – Principal of Ho Chi Minh City University of Culture said: The issue of human resource development in the field of education is currently facing many big challenges.

In the context of staff streamlining, schools and public service units must terminate professional contracts and reduce the number of employees.

Previously, Decree 141/2013/ND-CP dated October 24, 2013 detailing and guiding the implementation of a number of articles of the Law on Higher Education has content on extending working time for students. Lecturers reach retirement age.

Accordingly: “The working time for lecturers with a doctorate degree is no more than 5 years, for lecturers with the title of associate professor is no more than 7 years, and for lecturers with a professor title is no more than 5 years. 10 years”.

However, according to Decree 50/2022/ND-CP issued on August 2, 2022, regulations on retirement at a higher age for public employees in public service units, lecturers with doctoral degrees but senior lecturers will not have their working hours extended; Lecturers who are professors, associate professors, and doctors can only extend their working time to a maximum of no more than 5 years.

According to Mr. Nhan's assessment, Decree 50/2022/ND-CP has created situations that affect human resource development plans, training and scientific research at higher education institutions. learn.

Recorded from reality, there are many lecturers with the rank of associate professor and professor who are implementing procedures to extend their working time according to Decree 141/2013/ND-CP and have to stop and wait for retirement according to the Decree. 50/2022/ND-CP.

Regarding the field of culture and art, the Principal of Ho Chi Minh City University of Culture said that the number of highly qualified lecturers is very modest, most lecturers have the title of professor or associate professor. are all elderly. It is also difficult for lecturers with doctoral degrees to attain the title of professor or associate professor due to regulations on international articles or other standards being higher than before.

Therefore, Mr. Nhan is concerned that if Decree 50 continues to be implemented, in the near future, higher education institutions in the field of culture and arts will no longer have lecturers with professor or associate degrees. professor. Even the number of lecturers with doctoral degrees is difficult to guarantee.

“In October 2022 alone, Ho Chi Minh City University of Culture had 4 lecturers with doctoral degrees resign. Including 2022, there are more than 10 officials who both quit and retired.

In the field of culture and arts, the number of lecturers with high degrees and degrees is still modest, not to mention the pressure to compete with non-public establishments in terms of remuneration, making recruitment at the school even more difficult. more difficulties.

Therefore, the detailed regulations on the retirement age of teachers according to the draft Law on Teachers is an adjustment consistent with current Vietnamese educational practices, creating more favorable conditions for both lecturers and educational institutions. higher education”, Associate Professor, Dr. Lam Nhan stated his opinion.

Agreeing with the above viewpoint, Dr. Le Viet Nho, Principal of the School of Medicine and Pharmacy, University of Da Nang also said that the regulation on extending working time upon retirement according to the draft Law on Teachers is not only creating conditions for educational institutions to ensure training quality but also meet the expectations and needs of lecturers to work and contribute to education.

In the health field, learners must study and research for 6 years to become qualified to become a general doctor. If they want to become a specialist, they must continue studying for another 3 years.

Not to mention, if you want to work in the health field, you must have a practice license, while the procedure to get a license takes about 1 year. Thus, just becoming a specialist takes 10 years of study and research.

According to Dr. Le Viet Nho, in fact, there are many cases where lecturers have completed their doctoral studies but because they have reached the prescribed retirement age, they cannot continue their teaching career. This is both wasteful and disadvantageous for teachers when knowledge and brain matter are not fully utilized.

In the current context when many new educational institutions are being established, extending the working hours of lecturers will help higher education institutions have more opportunities to receive professional support from this team. , improving the unit's training capacity.

Create conditions for teachers to continue to contribute to avoid wasting brain matter

Also commenting on the draft, Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Duc Son – Principal of Hanoi University of Education, said that setting the retirement age for teachers as currently drafted is completely reasonable and is What should be done about the national education system.

In the field of higher education, the force of older lecturers and scientists are those who have gone through a thorough training process. This team not only possesses extensive professional knowledge, has time to participate in teaching and training in a professional academic environment as well as has extensive experience in the field of education and training.

Unlike other fields that require manual labor, education is a field that requires mental labor, so in terms of age, teachers, even at retirement age, still have enough intelligence and strength to work and contribute.

In fact, many teachers work not just to make a living but out of “love for the profession”. Therefore, stipulating conditions for extending working hours will partly meet the needs, creating conditions for teachers to continue to contribute.

Noting the reality, Mr. Son said that the process of striving and building the careers of the teaching staff to achieve the title of associate professor or professor is not an easy thing to do. This is a long journey, requiring persistent effort and dedication to the cause of education.

Accordingly, there are many cases of teachers over 50 years old achieving the title of professor or associate professor. If calculated from the age at which a teacher attains an academic title or degree until the prescribed retirement age, the remaining time for teachers to contribute will not be much. This will cause a waste of brain matter when not fully utilizing the intelligence of highly qualified lecturers.

Meanwhile, in the opinion of Dr. Le Viet Nho, a team of highly qualified lecturers is a valuable “resource” of higher education institutions when they have a lot of practical experience and can Support many activities for the school.

Mr. Nho said that for postgraduate training activities, there is a mandatory requirement for lecturers to have a doctorate degree or higher. Thus, according to regulations, the working time upon retirement at a higher age is no more than 5 years for teachers with a doctorate degree, no more than 7 years for teachers with the title of associate professor, no more than 10 years. For teachers with the title of professor, higher education institutions can utilize this team for training at postgraduate levels.

In the health field, lecturers reaching retirement age are all specialists with many years of practical work experience, so they will have many skills that young people have not had the opportunity to experience.

“We are always concerned that extending the working hours of lecturers when they reach retirement age will affect the quality of training for health reasons.

In fact, whether teachers continue to perform teaching work after reaching the prescribed retirement age will depend on the agreement, assessment of the health status of the higher education institution as well as their freedom. wishes and desires of teachers.

Setting the retirement age for teachers according to the draft Law on Teachers will create conditions to promote the advantages and potential of older lecturers. This will be a practical, necessary policy that brings many benefits to the entire educational institution as it can continue to take advantage of the knowledge workforce to improve the quality of training for the unit.

For the School of Medicine and Pharmacy, University of Danang, we are always actively building “Supporting Expert Projects” to invite retired lecturers to the school to be advisors and guest lecturers for some modules, activities at school.

This is not a good way, but it is the best way in the current context that the school can apply to continue to receive support from a team of highly qualified lecturers. From there, both ensuring the school's training quality and being able to best support learners in activities that require high expertise,” Mr. Nho shared.

Similarly at Ho Chi Minh City University of Culture, the school is also actively developing many incentive policies to retain and motivate lecturers to participate in study and research at a higher level.

Associate Professor, Dr. Lam Nhan said that currently the school is creating all conditions for lecturers to do scientific research. Accordingly, the school's investment budget for one topic is 50 million VND. For international scientific articles, the investment level ranges from 20 – 50 million VND.

In addition, lecturers studying for graduate students will have the school pay all tuition fees including accommodation and travel. When there is a decision to recognize a doctorate, the school will award a bonus 20 times the minimum salary.

For lecturers who have achieved doctorate degrees, the school encourages teachers to register as associate professors or professors. In addition to having the school pay all travel expenses, accommodation, application fees, etc., associate professors will be awarded a bonus equal to 30 times the minimum salary. For professors, the bonus will be 40 times the minimum salary.

In addition, every month, the school will pay 1 million VND for lecturers with doctoral degrees, 1.5 million VND for associate professors and 2 million VND for professors in addition to salary.

“In order to continue to utilize the intelligence of the older teaching staff, the school has also invited teachers and staff who are working in management in the departments of culture, sports, tourism, communications, and libraries… to become a visiting lecturer at the school.

In the near future, if implemented according to the content of the draft Law on Teachers, when lecturers' working hours are extended, the school will invite this team to work at the school to support the young lecturers as well as improve their working hours. The quality of training at the school is getting better and better,” Mr. Lam Nhan informed.
