In April 2021, teachers are considered according to the new salary, all grade II primary school teachers receive a salary of 4.0. Thus, Ms. Huyen's early salary increase is no longer meaningful. In addition, the salary increases in 2021 will prevent her from participating in the consideration of salary increase before the deadline in 2024 because the regulation cannot increase the salary before the deadline 2 times in a row. While her colleague has not been considered for the 2021 increase, it is still possible to consider 2024.

Ms. Huyen asked, in her case, will the salary increase before the deadline in 2021 be abolished or still be counted as a raise before the deadline so that in 2024 she will apply for a salary increase before the deadline?

In this regard, the Ministry of Education and Training responded as follows:
