Pursuant to Clause 1 and 2, Article 12 of the Decree 49/2021/TT-BGDĐT stipulating specialized managers as follows: 

1. Specialized manager is designated by the owner of the independent nursery education institution in an employment contract. The owner, a teacher or staff member may concurrently hold the specialized manager position if fully qualified as prescribed.

2. Qualifications

- Have good moral qualities;

- Fit for work;

- Obtain at least a level 5 of VQF Advanced Diploma in nursery pedagogy;
