VietNamNet Bridge – Having good learning capability, enrolled
in universities with good marks from the university entrance exams--many
students cannot finish school, leaving the lecture halls, wasting some years of
their lives, while causing a big waste to the society.
The reports by universities show
that hundreds of students cannot finish school as initially scheduled every
year, because they still do not finish compulsory learning subjects.
Good learning capability not enough for university student
TLM, a student of the Journalist
Faculty of the HCM City University of Social Sciences and Humanity, has been
well known among university students for his “undesirable achievements.” M’s
classmates finished school in 2008, while M still has not obtained the university
degree, because he still has not finished compulsory professional subjects.
A lecturer of the school said
that in principle, M’s learning records have been abrogated and M had had to
leave the school. However, the university is considering following a flexible
way by sending him to the in-service training courses instead of full-time
training.
Also according to the lecturer,
since 2006, the school has applied the credit-based education system, which
allows students to finish school some months later than others. Prior to 2006,
the school followed the yearly training system, under which no less than five
students could not finish school on schedule every year.
GA has also been well known in
the journalist faculty for his good marks from the university entrance exams.
GA was highly appreciated by the lecturers in his first year of studying there
and a lot of articles published on local newspapers.
However, after that, the student
spent most of his time on working and earning money, while he did not go to
school and did not attend the exams.
GA had to give up studying at the
school when his classmates entered the third academic year, because of the high
number of subjects he had not finished. He has become more famous, as he
regularly attends the parties through the night or online games shops.
PCH of the Information Technology
Faculty of the HCM City University of Natural Sciences has been recognized as a
talented student, especially when his software piece received the city’s
awards. However, H still cannot graduate from the school, because he spent most
of his time on working, not on studying.
“Since I played truant regularly,
I could not attend mid-term exams. Though I got high marks from the
end-semester exams, I could not meet the requirements to graduate school,” H
said.
In-service training – the lifebuoy for students
According to Nguyen Anh Duc from
the Students’ Affairs Division of the HCM City University of Technique
Education, 28 students could not meet the requirements to be able to graduate
school this year. The students would be transferred to the in-service training
courses, and they would get the university degrees when they finish all
compulsory subjects.
“They went working during the
studying, therefore, they did not have enough time to fulfill the curriculums,”
he explained.
Shifting from full-time to
in-service training proves to be a lifebuoy for many students, because they
would still be able to obtain university degrees and they do not have to leave
school with “empty hands.”
However, Pham Tan Ha, Head of the
Training Division of the HCM City University of Social Sciences, has admitted
that students do not want to follow in-service training courses, which are
believed to have low training quality. Especially, the number of students
registering to follow in-service training has decreased after some provincial
authorities and state agencies announced they would not recruit in-service
training graduates.
