Lax management over school establishment in the past several years has led to poor overall training quality, the National Assembly Standing Committee said, asking the Government to close unqualified universities

The Committee made the statement at an April 16 meeting to hear reports from a supervisory team under the NA Committee of Culture, Education, Youth and Children about the quality of higher education at more than 50 universities across the country.

To improve training quality at the country’s higher education facilities, the NA Standing Committee asked the Government and the Ministry of Education and Training to dissolve all poor-quality universities.

The Committee also asked that evaluations of training quality at universities be stepped up nationwide to form a basis for classification of the schools in terms of education quality.

Meanwhile, Mr. Dan [Tran Dinh Dan, chairman of the NA Office] suggested setting up an agency that would research and forecast the demand for human resources in all sectors as well as predict economic trends, as a reference for universities to create enrollment plans and training programs.
