VietNamNet Bridge – The Ministry of Education and Training has
banned schools and universities from hosting or co-organising Miss Teen and
other beauty contests for students.
The ministry's vague statement
however falls short of an outright ban and other similar talent contest will
still be allowed to continue in universities and schools.
The statement was issued after
several National Assembly deputies expressed concern that the extraordinarily
popular Miss Teen could possibly affect the participant’s academic results.
They said the ministry should not
have collaborated with the Vietnam Multimedia Corporation (VTC) to hold such a
contest.
According to the ministry’s
Department of Student Affairs, recent news reports claimed that the ministry
had signed an agreement with VTC back in 2010 to organise annual Miss Teen
contests.
However, the ministry and VTC
only agreed to organise an annual Teenage Star contest.
The contest was part of a
12-point programme implemented by the two sides to help students enhance their
participation in the Friendly School, Active Students campaign.
The event was supposed to be part
of a wider programme to provide a comprehensive education for students, the
department noted.
Under the agreement signed over
three years ago, the ministry would set up an organising board, but to date it
had yet to complete the task.
VTC were accused of taking
advantage of the signed agreement, by unilaterally beginning its Miss Teen
contest, confusing the issue and attempting to equate the expected Teenage Star
contest with the Miss Teen contest. VTC organised the Miss Teen contest without
any participation from the ministry.
