Abstract
Teachers play an important role and are the decisive factors in determining the quality and effectiveness of education. Vietnam is currently implementing a radical and comprehensive renovation in its education system. It is teachers themselves (along with educational administrators) who are the core and the decisive factor in the success of any educational reform. However, the teaching staff in Vietnam now has not yet met the requirements in terms of quantity, structure and professional capacity. Based on analyzing the current status of teaching staff; status of teacher training; forecasting teacher model in the context of education innovation and industrial revolution 4.0; analyzing trends of the general education renovation; identifying requirements in terms of personality and professional competencies, the paper proposes strategic solutions on i) teacher training system; ii) teacher training model; iii) teacher re-training; iv) teacher policy towards teaching staff development. This is the way to solve a fundamental problem that has been hindering the improvement of education quality and effectiveness, ensuring that education would be better responsive and deserved to its increasingly important place in the process of socio-economic development in Vietnam.
