The Ministry of Education and Training has instructed 190 out of the country’s 379 universities and colleges to reduce enrolment in the 2010-11 school year because of their lack of infrastructure and human resources.
Universities will enrol 272,266 students this year, nearly 10,000 more than last year, and colleges will take in 240,600 students, a reduction of 11,000, according to the ministry.
Non-public schools have seen admission quotas reduced considerably.
Seventy-six non-public universities and colleges have planned to enrol a total of 134,720 students but have been allowed to admit only 104,720.
At some institutions, enrolment will fall to just half of the number registered with the ministry.
The HCM City-based Hung Vuong University, for instance, plans to admit 2,500 candidates to university and 1,500 to college, but the number have been cut to just 1,500 and 160, respectively.
The ministry said the admission quota for each university would be based on capacity, infrastructure and ratio of students per lecturer.
According to the ministry, the space required per student in classrooms is 2sq.m, but few institutions, including public universities, can meet this requirement.
Only five universities – Hanoi University of Transport and Communication, University of Civil Engineering, Hanoi Architectural University, Water Resources University and Ton Duc Thang University – have been allowed to increase their enrolment./.
