In the new school year, which subjects does Ho Chi Minh City recruit the most teachers for?

On August 13, responding to Tuoi Tre , the leader of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training said that according to plan, from now until the end of August 2025, the department will conduct teacher recruitment for the new school year 2025-2026.

Accordingly, after reviewing schools from 168 wards, communes, and special zones in Ho Chi Minh City after merging with Binh Duong and Ba Ria - Vung Tau provinces, in the new school year 2025 - 2026, Ho Chi Minh City needs to recruit 4,865 more teachers from preschool to high school. In which, the shortage of teachers this school year is not uniform across all levels and subjects.

At the primary level , Ho Chi Minh City needs teachers who can teach many subjects the most, with a shortage of up to 801 teachers this year.

Next, also at the primary level, the second most needed number of teachers is in fine arts, with a shortage of 205 teachers.

Following that are teachers of information technology (204 teachers short), English (192 teachers short), music (192 teachers short), teachers who are also leaders of the Youth Union (157 teachers short), and physical education (155 teachers short).

At secondary school level , Ho Chi Minh City is lacking 414 history and geography teachers, 412 literature teachers and 302 math teachers.

At high school level , the biggest teacher shortage is in literature with 101 teachers and history with 76 teachers.

Responding to Tuoi Tre , the leader of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training said that this year Ho Chi Minh City will recruit teachers in a different way than last school year.

Accordingly, this year the department will recruit teachers from preschool, primary, secondary and high school levels through examination.

Specifically, the recruitment of teachers for this school year will be carried out in 2 rounds. Round 1 will check the recruitment conditions on the Recruitment Registration Form according to the requirements of the job position. Round 2 will be a practical test to test knowledge and professional skills according to the requirements of the job position.

Besides, after the merger, the education sector of Ho Chi Minh City still faces a situation of local surplus and shortage among subjects and schools throughout the city.

In the coming time, in parallel with recruiting teachers according to demand, the department will also have plans to reduce the local surplus and shortage of teachers, encourage young teachers to volunteer to teach in schools in remote areas...

Specifically, after implementing the recruitment, the department will have a rotation plan for units that have surplus or shortage in some subjects throughout the city.

The leader of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training said that in the coming time, the department will also review and inspect to evaluate the situation of decentralization and delegation of authority in teacher recruitment with the People's Committees of wards, communes, special zones and affiliated units.

If the units are capable of carrying out recruitment work, the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City will advise the City People's Committee to decentralize or delegate recruitment authority after the department has trained and guided the recruitment implementation according to regulations.
