This regulation is included in The Ministry of Education and Training's amending and supplementing draft for a number of articles in the "Regulation on Organization and Operation of Foreign language and Informatics centers" issued together with Circular No. 21/2018/TT-BGDĐT.
The Circular clearly states: Teachers of foreign language and informatics centers are in charge of teaching and providing practice guidance, including teachers with long-term or short-term contracts, Vietnamese or foreign teachers.
A foreign language teacher is eligible to teach his first language (which is his native language, language that he learns from his parents since birth, not those that he learn from schools or classes as a grown-up) if he has at least one college degree and an appropriate language teaching certificate.
