VietNamNet Bridge – Non-state owned universities and vocational
schools have been quietly hunting for the students failing the university
entrance exams--to invite them to study at their schools.
Most of the state owned
universities have made public the required marks for students to enter the
schools. And it’s now the time for less prestigious schools, people-founded
schools, to look for learners who failed the university entrance exams.
Le Truong An, a student in Thanh
Tri district in Hanoi, has been depressed by the bad news that he failed the
entrance exams to the Hanoi Economics University.
However, while the economics
school refused to enroll An, other schools are soliciting a welcome to An . An
has received so many invitations to study at junior colleges, people-founded
universities and vocational schools.
Though An never before applied
for studying at the schools, he would still be welcomed by them.
One of the invitations was from
Aptech Hanoi, an information technology school which informed that students
should register admission until the end of August 10, while the new academic
year would open on August 18.
An has been told that he does not
need to show high school learning records or university entrance exam mark
notification, while he just needs to present the invitation for study,
curriculum vitae and two photos. In the letter of invitation, the school also
informed that the three-year tuition package would be some 45 million dong.
Nguyen Kieu Trang in Vinh Phuc
province has also received 5-6 letters of invitation to study at different
schools. A lot of advertisement leaflets have also been sent to Trang, and she
can register to enroll in any schools she wants at any time.
As such, Trang now has many other
choices to continue studying after finishing high school, even though she has
failed the exams to the school she wanted.
However, the wide range of
choices has made Trang puzzled. “Only the letter from the Dong A Technology
University shows clear information about the school and the training
curriculum. Meanwhile, the information about other schools proves to be very
vague. Therefore, I do not know what school to choose.”
Solicited with a welcome by
schools, the students failing the university entrance exams like Trang still do
not feel happy.
“Schools have been racing to
scramble for learners. Students should consider their ability and learn more
about the schools before making decision,” Dr Nguyen Tung Lam, Chair of the
Hanoi Education Psychology Association, said, adding that students should be
cautious with education ad pieces.
Dr Le Thanh Mai from the HCM City
has advised students not to insist on university education. If they fail the
exams, they can enroll in vocational schools or junior colleges instead of
waiting opportunities in the next year’s exams.
However, Mai has warned that
students should be cautious with the learning opportunities from the schools
which set very low requirements. The schools just strive to enroll more
students for bigger profits, while they do not care much about the training
quality.
The Ministry of Education and
Training has informed that 300,000 seats have been available at vocational
schools. A lot of the schools do not organize entrance exams, while they would
enroll students after considering high school records.
HUTECH, a technology university
in HCM City, for example, is seeking students for the school’s 2.5-year
training system by considering high school records. Bui Xuan Lam, Deputy
President of the school, said that students would be able to pass credit to
follow the university education level, if they want.
