Accordingly, the People's Committees of provinces and centrally run cities shall, based on the socio-economic development orientation, job position structure and staffing quotas, conditions and specific requirements of the locality, recruit, plan, train, foster, appoint and use the team of ethnic minority cadres, civil servants and public employees working in agencies, organizations and units to ensure a reasonable ratio, corresponding to the proportion of ethnic minorities in the locality.

In ethnic minority areas, it is necessary to have ethnic minority officials, civil servants, and managers.

Central agencies, organizations and units, based on their functions, tasks, organizational structure, job position structure and staffing quotas, recruit, plan, train, foster, appoint and use ethnic minority cadres, civil servants and public employees, ensuring a reasonable ratio.

According to the Circular, the Ethnic Committee has a minimum ratio of ethnic minority cadres, civil servants and public employees of 40% of the total payroll.

For Departments and units under the Ethnic Committee, in planning and appointing to leadership and management positions, there must be at least 1 head or deputy head who is an ethnic minority.

Sent to study, recruited without taking exams into civil service, public employee

Also according to the Circular, ethnic minorities sent to study at universities, colleges, vocational colleges, vocational intermediate schools, and professional intermediate schools under the nomination system after graduation will be recruited without taking exams into civil servants and public employees and assigned work according to the provisions of Decree No. 134/2006/ND-CP of the Government regulating the nomination system to university, college, and intermediate educational institutions in the national education system.

The planning and appointment of ethnic minority cadres, civil servants and public employees shall be carried out in accordance with regulations. Priority shall be given to the planning and appointment of female and young ethnic minority cadres, civil servants and public employees, as very few of them participate in agencies, organizations and units in the political system at all levels.

In case an ethnic minority cadre, civil servant or public employee working at the district level or below has been approved by a competent authority for planning to a leadership, management or equivalent position and is appointed for the first time if he/she still lacks the prescribed standards, he/she will still be considered for appointment to ensure the requirements of the task, but within a period not exceeding 1/2 of the appointment term, the competent management agency must be responsible for sending him/her for training and retraining to complete the standards.

This Circular takes effect from November 1, 2014.
