The city People’s Committee will pay VND200, 000 (nearly USD9.65) a month to every city schoolteacher. Teachers whose basic salary is around VND2.1 million (around USD100) will receive the sum of VND200, 000 per month. This takes effect from April to December 2011.
The People’s Committee also submitted its proposal to subsidize the salary increase to the Council Committee.
The allowance will soar by 40 percent for personnel in the education sector in disadvantaged communes of the city’s suburban districts such as Can Gio, Nha Be, Binh Chanh, Hoc Mon and Cu Chi. Under the proposal, the subsidy will hike from VND500, 000 (USD23.9) to VND700, 000 (USD33.49) per head per month.
