The department of education has announced that foreign teachers of all subjects must have a notarized university diploma from their native country to get a work permit.
Transcripts may be provided to the notary in order to get the stamp.

A degree was always needed - is the 'notarization' the new thing?

No, I think that has always been the case. Presumably it's another announcement along the lines of "we really mean it this time."

tiger is on his campaign to rid Vietnam of all teachers without a degree. This guy must be a real treat to work with.

What a useless, stupid thread. Whats next 'All drivers need a license to operate a motorbike in Vietnam?'

Yes, the degree must be notarized and if the name on the degree doesn't match the name on your passport you will need an affidavit that says the name on the degree is the same person as on your passport. You know how your passport has surname first then first name followed by middle name, and diplomas usually have first middle and last. So there it is.
The embassy will then stamp the back of your diploma and affidavit.

at least 65% of the teachers in Hanoi do not have a degree.

It's been like that for awhile now... at least over a year. I had to do that for my current school.

This rule has existed for some time. Doesn't mean it's always followed but it seems more and more schools are asking for notarization.

Also, does anyone notice the TNH has disappeared? I hope it's just a technical problem.

It literally does not exist.
