Nghe An Department of Education denies teacher recruitment information posted on social networks
Information on recruiting teachers from kindergarten to secondary school at many schools in Nghe An is currently being posted on a number of recruitment sites. In fact, there is currently no document announcing the quota and decentralization of recruitment units.
Recruitment information is fake
In recent days, some Facebook pages have posted information summarizing the recruitment needs of preschool and secondary education officials in Nghe An in 2025. At the same time, the pages also provide exam preparation materials for teachers who need to be recruited. Under this information, many comments expressed skepticism because there is currently no official document with specific instructions and quotas.
Contacting the phone number on the page, the writer was also advised on which subject and level to buy documents for teachers. In addition, the buyer was also introduced to a set of documents including theory and questions, answers to circular laws, specialized fields, key contents of circular laws and decrees that are often tested, tips for quick learning and easy memorization, interview questions with detailed answers; pedagogical situations by level and how to handle them for 350,000 VND/set.
Responding to Nghe An Newspaper and Radio and Television on this issue, Mr. Thai Van Thanh - Director of the Department of Education and Training said: The information on teacher recruitment posted on social networking sites is not accurate. In fact, currently after implementing the 2-level local government, there is no document guiding the recruitment unit of civil servants of the Education sector. Therefore, at this time, Nghe An has no plan to recruit teachers from preschool to secondary school.
At the Department of Personnel Organization - Department of Education and Training, the department's leader said that the data synthesizing the ratio of teachers/classes at all levels from preschool to secondary school and synthesizing the recruitment needs of teachers and staff of primary schools for the 2025-2026 school year posted on social networking sites is the Department's report on the current situation of the team.teacherbefore the end of district government operations.
In the 2025-2026 school year, the province still lacks more than 4,000 teachers at preschool and general education levels to meet the required teacher/class ratio. In particular, the shortage of teachers for gifted subjects (Music, Fine Arts, Information Technology, Foreign Languages), and new subjects of the 2018 General Education Program (Natural Sciences, History and Geography, Experiential Activities - Career Guidance) is common in many schools.
Early determination of authority
Regarding the work of arranging and recruiting teachers after implementing the two-level government, there are currently many shortcomings in Nghe An province. In particular, the situation of teacher shortage and local teacher surplus occurs in many localities. Meanwhile, the transfer and rotation of teachers between communes still has many difficulties due to the uneven ratio of teachers between communes and the small size of communes making it difficult to rotate.
Regarding this issue, there is currently no guidance on decentralization of authority to the Department or commune in state management of teaching staff in schools.
Faced with this reality, in early July, the Department of Education and Training also sent a document requesting the Provincial People's Committee to base on Decree No. 142/2025/ND-CP dated June 12, 2025 of the Government regulating the division of authority of two-level local authorities in the field of state management of the Ministry of Education and Training, related regulations and the actual situation of the locality to consider assigning authority to perform personnel work in the education and training sector, promptly preparing for the new school year from August 15, 2025.
At the same time, it is necessary to unify the work of appointing, mobilizing, rotating, using, recruiting, and seconding teachers among educational institutions not in the same commune.
In the immediate future, the Department proposes to recruit all assigned positions in August 2025 to arrange for educational institutions with serious shortages. During the implementation process, it will review and reassign seconded teachers whose secondment period has not yet ended (due to transfer from July 1, 2025) back to their previous work units.
Currently, there is a great shortage of foreign language and IT teachers in mountainous communes. Therefore, if management is decentralized, there is a policy of recruitment and temporary reinforcement or recruitment for 5 years in mountainous areas and then they will be arranged to return to their hometown to work after completing their tasks, the shortage of teachers while lacking local training resources will be overcome.
Besides, if we balance the staff and teachers between levels and educational institutions across the province, it will ensure effective and quality operations, limiting the waste of human resources in the entire sector.
