Previously, as reported by Nghe An Newspaper, on January 19, dozens of teachers and contract employees at schools in Quynh Luu district suddenly received notice that they would not be paid their salaries for January 2024. These are people who were signed work contracts by the People's Committee of Quynh Luu district more than 10 years ago and are in difficult circumstances. Many have nearly 20 years of teaching experience, but still receive a salary of less than 5 million VND. Meanwhile, accountants and clerks only receive a salary of more than 3 million VND/month.

After being denied salary payments, many teachers and school accountants have simultaneously submitted a letter refusing to continue working. This move threatens to affect teaching and learning at schools.

According to a leader of the People's Committee of Quynh Luu district, during the period from 2000 to 2013, the district signed many contracts with teachers and school staff. However, the provincial People's Committee later requested a review and concluded that these contracts were signed by Quynh Luu district without authority and not in accordance with the law. The province requested Quynh Luu district to liquidate them. "After that, some cases stopped teaching and switched to other jobs. Some were oriented by the district to study for a second degree to transfer to preschools and join the payroll. Up to now, there are 24 people left," said this leader./.
