There is a 30 point leadership salary scale. New Head Teachers are placed on the salary scale according to previous relevant experience and move up the scale annually. Salaries are paid in Vietnamese Dong currency free of personal income tax.The salary scale is reviewed annually to take account of inflation and to keep the school competitive.
