Five universities and colleges are banned
from enrolling new students for five specialties after an inspection revealed
shortcomings in their training quality.
The
results were announced after the inspection started in March 2012 by the
Ministry of Education and Training (MoET) with 38 schools.
Chief
inspector Nguyen Huy Bang said many schools had achieved great results, for
example, Quang Trung University, Rubber Industrial College have acquired land
for construction, Dalat Yersin University and Quang Nam University had improved
their facilities for students. Quang Nam University and Danang University of
Physical Education and Sports were praised for its high skilled lecturers.
But
Bang also said seven universities have less than 50 permanent and long-term
hired lecturers. 42 faculties don't have sufficient Ph.D holders and 25
faculties in some colleges don't have the correct MAs for the course they were
teaching. Poor facilities were another problem with many schools having to rent
different places on a short term basis. Some faculties were also short of
teaching staff, with ratios of one lecturer per 400 students not being
uncommon.
Bang
said Resolution No. 50 on university education emphasised the importance of
facilities, teachers and student-to-lecturer ratios. The resolution also gave
different sanctions for violations such as a prohibition on enrolments to institutions
that lacked proper study places or had to high a student-to-teacher ratio.
Faculties which lacked Ph.D and MA lecturers would also be forbidden from
recruiting more students. However, schools violating the same rules but with
low numbers will have another sanction.
After
the inspections, MoET applied the enrolment ban to Hanoi Economics and
Technology College along with five faculties of five schools including Faculty
of Transport Operation of Tay Ha Polytechnic College; Mechanical Engineering
Technology of Quang Ngai Industrial Technology College.
The
Faculty of Banking and Finance of Phu Xuan University; Architecture of Dalat
Yersin College and Business Administration of Thanh Tay University were also
banned from enrolling more students.
Bang
admitted that stopping enrolment would cause problems but the rules had to be
enforced in order to ensure the quality of teaching.
He
said, "Inspections will be carried on institutions that were established
in the last decade. Both newly established and upgraded schools will be
checked. MoET will co-operate with relevant units to achieve the best
results."
Students
who registered in banned faculties will be able to register again.
