The school counseling competency framework is a tool to develop teachers doing the school psychology counseling work in primary schools, which is extremely necessary, especially when schools in Vietnam are currently not having the official title for that job. The article proposes a framework of school counseling competency for primary school teachers with 5 elements rated at levels 1,2,3 including: 1/ Teachers' cognitive competency of psychology counseling activities for primary school students. 2/ Ability to understand the physiological characteristics of primary school students and the difficulties of students in school life. 3/ Ability to develop school psychological counseling plans for primary school students. 4/ Ability to design, select, and implement school psychology counseling topics for primary school students. 5/ Ability to coordinate family and community in school psychological counseling for primary school students. The competency framework can be used to improve the quality of teachers working in school counseling in primary schools.
