The rate of graduation has dropped by 3.51 percent compared to the previous
academic year, the Ministry of Education and Training said on July 17 at a
teleconference among the cities of Hanoi, HCM City and Da Nang on university
enrolment in 2019 and the amending and supplementing of the Higher Education
Law.
Nguyen Thi Kim Phung, head of the ministry’s Department of Higher Education,
said the graduation rate reflected the educational quality of the localities and
was suitable to the socio-economic conditions of each locality.
In areas such as Hanoi and Nam Dinh, the rate of graduation exceeded 97 percent
while less privileged provinces of Ha Giang and Son La recorded a graduation
rate of less than 72 percent.
Phung said 341,840 students took this year’s exam to seek university entrance
applications through their test results, the same number as last year.
To prepare for the enrollment plan, Phung asked universities to urgently send
the list of lecturers to the ministry in order to build a standard database of
higher education lecturers.
She reminded universities of informing on the enrollment plans, answering
questions for candidates, especially from July 22 to 31 when candidates adjust
their enrollment.
Phung also noted that the enrollment would be carried out from August 6.
Universities would not be allowed to adjust the list of students after
announcing the enrollment results.
The ministry would publish the list of lecturers and students on the ministry's
web portal.
Minister Phung Xuan Nha said the ministry has analysed the results of the
national high school examination and would work with localities to improve the
quality of teaching and study.
Nha said the ministry has guided universities to implement the enrollment plans,
in which universities needed to ensure the quality of students after enrollment.
He said the ministry focused on the quality of higher education. Higher
education institutions must strictly implement quality accreditation, such as
accrediting training programmes and universities’ infrastructure. Poor-quality
schools would be closed.-VNA
