Training centres for university entrance
exams, in the past crowded with students as testing time neared, have been
losing ground to online courses.
Training
centres for university entrance exams have seen few students coming to
register.
As
internet access becomes easier, especially for those living in urban areas,
more students have been finding online courses as an effective way to study.

Quang Duy, from Binh Thanh District in HCM City, said that he will not register
at a training centre to study for the upcoming university entrance exam.
“I am
getting tutoring from some of my former teachers. On top of that I'm taking
lessons on the internet. For me it is just as good as attending a training
centre," he said.
Another
former high school student from HCM City, Dieu Huong, said that training
centres offer the same exercises that she can do at home online.
Wan of
brick and mortar
While
training centres in HCM City are open their doors in expectation students
filing in to register as they have in the past, the atmosphere has been muted
in comparison to recent years.
The
centres around the University of Agriculture and Forestry and the University of
Technical Education in Thu Duc District or around Binh Thanh, Go Vap districts,
have seen few students coming to register.
The
average number of students attending classes in these areas averages around 30
to 40 students per class, while some have only three or four.
Some
centres have launched promotional programmes with discounted fees, assistance
for lodging and promises to help average students pass the exam. However these
programmes have not been very effective.
Digital
education
Not
only do students find studying online to be more convenient, many find internet
classes, a number of which are designed and administered by highly qualified
teachers, to be very helpful.
According
to Ha Huy Vu, a third-year student at the HCM City University of Economics,
said that after graduating from high school he studied online for the
university entrance exam and passed.
“Studying
online makes it possible for students from the countryside, like me, to save
time and money. There are a lot of courses to choose from, and even the payment
can be done easily online," Vu said.
