The State
Inspectorate has asked local education authorities not to recognize over 2,000
bachelor’s and master’s degrees that were jointly conferred by the Hanoi-based
Center for Educational Technology and Career Development (ETC) and its
international partners following their violations of the Law on Education.
ETC’s
parent organization, the Vietnam National University – Hanoi (VNUH), illicitly
allowed the center to partner with two U.S.-based tertiary schools, Griggs
University and Delaware State University, to offer undergraduate and graduate
degree programs between 2008 and 2010, while the Law merely permits local
formal higher education institutions to run such joint courses, the State
Inspectorate says in their inspection results.
According
to Article 42 of the Law, tertiary courses can only be taught by research
institutes, junior colleges, and universities upon government approval.
The
Inspectorate has also suggested that the Prime Minister shut down all of the
illegal enrollment and education activities of the center as punishment for the
violations.
The
body has simultaneously advised that the Premier hold the VNUH director fully
accountable for the illegitimate approval of those joint degree programs.
This
is part of a broader inspection campaign the Inspectorate recently launched at
18 institutions of higher education.
Myriad
wrongdoings have been detected, including the running of unauthorized courses,
lax admission requirements, financial irregularities, and other administrative
misconduct.
