Following the official dispatch of the Ministry of Home Affairs on the exceptional recruitment of teachers who have had labor contracts and paid social insurance contributions from 2015 or earlier, based on the criteria, the District People's Committee informed Mr. Hung to submit his application for special recruitment to the payroll.

Mr. Hung has been approved by the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee for the admission plan. However, when accepting the decision of the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, the Department of Home Affairs did not accept his pedagogical certificate issued in 2012 but required a new pedagogical certificate according to Circular No. Circular No. 12/2021/TT-BGDDT.

The shortcoming here is that currently, no one has a pedagogical certificate with a lower secondary education level according to this new circular, but at least in July 2022, the first course will be granted a certificate.

Mr. Hung asked, is his old pedagogical certificate still valid in the special admission examination for public employees? Can the Department of Home Affairs make him special and then add a new professional certificate later?

The Ministry of Education and Training responded to this issue as follows:

According to the provisions of Point b, Clause 1, Article 72 of the Education Law 2019, the standard qualification for primary and secondary school teachers is to have a bachelor's degree in "teacher training" or higher, if the subject is not If enough teachers have a bachelor's degree in the field of teacher training, they must have a bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline and a certificate of professional training in pedagogy.

Currently, the Ministry of Education and Training is coordinating with the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Justice to have a suitable solution for teachers who have bachelor's degrees, have participated in teaching and have pedagogical certificates issued by the Ministry of Education and Training.
