HCM CITY — The Ministry of Education and
Training has said it would continue inspections of universities and colleges
nationwide to ensure they are operating with adequate facilities and numbers of
lecturers.
Deputy Minister of Education and Training Bui
Van Ga said that the ministry would seriously punish violators and even stop
their operations if they did not take corrective action.
In a recent inspection of 24 universities and
colleges, the ministry stopped three universities and colleges and 12 faculties
in other institutions from recruiting new students for the 2012-13 school year
because they failed to comply with the ministry's stipulations on facilities
and numbers of lecturers.
The Van Hien University and the Information
Technology College, both in HCM City, and the Dong Do University in Ha Noi have
been directed to stop recruiting students from the coming academic year.
Regulations require one teacher for every 25
students at the tertiary level, but several colleges and universities had one
teacher for more students.
A recruitment ban has also been imposed on
four faculties in the Luong The Vinh University in northern Nam Dinh Province:
Food Science and Technology, Plant Protection, Library Sciences and
Electrical/Electronic Technology.
Another four faculties in the Luong The Vinh
University and the Chu Van An University in northern Hung Yen Province:
Construction Technology, English, Chinese and Vietnamese Studies; the
Construction Technology and Economics faculties of the Nguyen Trai University
in Ha Noi; and the faculties of Accountancy and Business Administration at the
University of Architecture in Da Nang have also been subjected to the
recruitment ban.
The three universities of Van Hien,
Information Technology and Dong Do have not yet been able to acquire land to
build their own facilities.
The ministry has asked these universities to
correct their violations by 2013, failing which it would ask the Prime Minister
to dissolve these ventures, officials said.
