Determined to increase the pension for those who retire before 1993

On the afternoon of November 9, responding to questions from delegates Nguyen Thi Quyet Tam (Ho Chi Minh City delegation) about increasing pensions for those who retire before 1993, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam stated He was very understanding and determined as a delegate.

Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam said that after assuming the position of vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the Central Steering Committee on the reform of wage policy, social insurance and preferential treatment for people with meritorious services, at the first meeting , He received an estimate from the Ministry of Labor – Invalids and Social Affairs that some 600,000 people retired before 1993. On top of that, some 400,000 people retire at different times, but the pensions are very low – less than 3 million / month , in which the pension for rubber tappers is only 1 million / month.

“At that time, we calculated a plan on how to make additional compensation for this object, which is guaranteed by the state budget, not by social security. According to estimates, 400,000 people will be entitled to compensation of about 500,000 VND / month, ”said the deputy prime minister, saying that because the Covid-19 epidemic has affected the source of income, the competent authorities decided to reverse. the time to implement the wage reform policy, accompanied by social security, the policy of people with meritorious services … instead of early 2021, will return to 1/7/2022.

In this morning’s question session, delegate Duong Minh Anh (City of Hanoi) asked the Deputy Prime Minister to present his views on university autonomy through the history of Ton Duc Thang University. According to the delegates, many voters said that if they leave the management ministry, university autonomy can progress to the desired success.

In response to delegates, Vice Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam said that in university autonomy there are five general principles around the world and one particular principle for Vietnam, as well as for some countries with particular circumstances.

The five principles mentioned by the Deputy Prime Minister are: to build an advanced governance model that extends to the whole of society, guaranteeing democracy, creativity and science; autonomy is associated with accountability, all school activities must be implemented by public laws and regulations for detailed social supervision; the state still has investments to order labor and build physical facilities; Administration in accordance with education law and other laws …

The sixth principle, for Vietnam and other countries with economies in transition, also changes the concept of ownership of universities. “Since contributions to the university are not just money, houses, machines, but also intelligence, people’s tuition fees, and therefore in the long run, the concept of owner here is not simply that of an agency that it belongs to the whole of society, ”said the deputy prime minister.

Building on the six principles above, the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that you must understand clearly to apply it in practice.

The Government established a delegation to enter Ton Duc Thang University

Regarding the question “should we leave the governing body?”, The deputy prime minister said that in reality, there is no line of governing bodies in the law, but only the concept of management body and owner.

However, for university autonomy to comply with the six previous principles, it is necessary to modify the law. In fact, there are still problems like billing problems and tuition fees; The history of the age of the staff in office, the opening of a new branch of training also restricts the proportion of teachers who are doctors, professors …

“There are two points to take into account for autonomy in the university. First, all schools need to strengthen the school board as the real authority, not the formal one. Secondly, the schools must build detailed and meticulous regulations for internal operations and financial activities in accordance with what is established by law and make the people known and supervise, ”emphasized the Deputy Prime Minister.

In particular, the Deputy Prime Minister pointed out that during the transition, many points have not been clearly defined, are unprecedented, when they are handled very calmly and tend to support autonomy.

Returning to the history of the General Confederation of Labor of Vietnam, dismissed the rector of Ton Duc Thang University, the deputy prime minister stressed that it is a decision with different opinions. The Government has established a mission at Ton Duc Thang University to consider and analyze related issues.

“We will surely meet again to review related issues, then we will openly let people know in a spirit of openness and transparency, creating the conditions for the school to develop”, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam emphasize.
