VietNamNet Bridge – A lot of students have expressed their
worry that with the new enlistment regulation, they would have the
opportunities to follow the university education.
Under the current laws, the
students at the age of 18 will have to join the army and serve in the military
forces for two years after they finish high schools. However, those, who
receive the admission notices from universities or junior colleges, can delay
their serving in the army and continue their studies at the schools.
However, the Ministries of
National Defense and Education and Training have released an inter-ministerial
circular No. 13, stipulating that in case a student receives both the command
for joining the army and the admission notice at the same time, he would have
to join the army and delay the study plan.
Vietnamese citizens can only
defer the serving in the army if they have completed the necessary procedures
to study at universities or colleges, or they are following the full-time
training courses at the schools.
The students, who leave the
full-time training courses of some schools for other schools, would also be
called to serving in the army.
Hoang Giang, a 12th grader, wrote
on Facebook that the new regulation is unreasonable.
In general, there are two
enlistment courses every year – the first one at the beginning of the year, and
the second one in mid year, while the latter stage coincides with the time when
universities and junior colleges send admission notices to the students, who
pass the university entrance exams. Therefore, it is highly possible that the
admission notice would come at the same time with the command for serving in
army.
“I am afraid that I would be
called to the army this year. Meanwhile, I really want to attend the university
entrance exams and follow the university education if I pass the exams,” Giang
wrote.
“What will happen after two
years? I am afraid that after two years of serving in the army, I would lose
necessary knowledge to continue the education at the university level,” he
continued.
A student with the nickname
Sudube also complained that he may lose all necessary knowledge after two
years, when he returns from the army to study at a university. “I feel really
anxious about my future and my education,” he said.
Meanwhile, other students frankly
expressed their opinions that the regulation on the serving in army in
peacetime is unreasonable. They believe that no need to mobilize to the army
the students, who can follow higher education and devote themselves to the
country with their knowledge.
“Every citizen can contribute his
strength to the motherland in his own way. While others join the army to
protect the country, we can continue our studies to serve the country with our
knowledge,” a student said, emphasizing that the new regulation should not be
applied, which may deprive the students’ opportunities of following high
education.
“I wish to see the new regulation
amended,” a student said.
Nguyen Toan Thang, a student in
Cau Giay district, believes that following the university education right after
finishing high schools proves to be the best solution for those who want to
follow high education. It is the most reasonable time for anyone to study.
“When you get older, it would be
harder for you to continue studying. It’ll not be the right time for you to
study and obtain the best results,” he commented.
