To implement the tasks of the 2024-2025 school year, the Ministry of Education and Training recommends that localities flexibly recruit more contract teachers to ensure there are enough teachers.

Accordingly, the Ministry of Education and Training requested the People's Committees of provinces and cities to strengthen the direction of reviewing and inspecting to ensure adequate facilities and educational equipment before the new school year. Localities need to have timely solutions to overcome the shortage of teachers. At the same time, flexibly implement and arrange teachers to ensure sufficient quantity and uniform structure, especially in some subjects such as English, Information Technology, Music, and Fine Arts.

The Ministry of Education and Training also requested localities to properly implement regulations on revenue and expenditure management, and publicize revenues from the beginning of the school year.

Localities continue to develop and implement plans to support students from poor households, near-poor households, disadvantaged households, disadvantaged students, remote areas, isolated areas, and ethnic minorities, with sufficient textbooks, school supplies, and other essential conditions. No student is allowed to go to school due to difficult circumstances.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Education and Training, in the 2024-2025 school year, the number of students nationwide will continue to increase, with preschools increasing by 2,327 classes and secondary schools increasing by 7,150 classes. This will cause the shortage of teachers to continue.

In the 2023-2024 school year, the country will recruit more than 19,000 teachers, bringing the total number of teachers nationwide to 1.25 million, including nearly 49,000 contract teachers.

Compared to the 2022-2023 school year, the number of teachers at all levels of preschool and general education increased by 17,253 teachers. However, the number of students is constantly increasing, leading to an increase in the number of classes, leading to a shortage of teachers in most localities.
