According to the draft, teachers who teach both theory and practice will receive an allowance of 0.1 compared to the basic salary, calculated based on the number of hours of integrated practical teaching.

Artisans (those who are considered and awarded the title of excellent artisan or higher by the State), people with high vocational skills (with national vocational skills certificate level 4 or higher or worker level 5/6, 6/7 or higher) are entitled to an allowance equal to 20% of their current salary plus leadership position allowance and seniority allowance (if any).

Teachers' allowances are divided into four levels, from 0.1 to 0.4 compared to the basic salary, corresponding to jobs with one to four elements in the arduous, toxic, and dangerous elements specified in the Decree.
