Decision No. 436/QD-TTg dated March 30, 2020 of the Prime Minister (promulgating the Plan to implement the Vietnamese national qualifications framework for higher education levels in the 2020-2025 period) assigned the Ministry of Health to preside over the development of training program standards for the Health sector.
This is the information shared by Associate Professor Nguyen Thu Thuy, Director of the Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education and Training, with the press this morning, May 28, regarding the use of Literature by some universities to recruit medical students.
Also according to Ms. Thuy, Circular No. 17/2021/TT-BGDDT issued by the Ministry of Education and Training (implemented under the Law on Higher Education) clearly stipulates: Training program standards of majors and groups of majors in each field (such as the Health sector/sector developed by the Ministry of Health) must include regulations on input standards as well as other requirements on quality assurance conditions and output standards for each field, group of majors, and training major.
When regulating entrance standards, it is necessary to clearly define the requirements for knowledge, capacity, etc. of learners, which may include requirements for knowledge of subjects in the admission combination or entrance capacity assessment test.
Meanwhile, the current admission regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training clearly stipulate that each admission method (which the training institution decides to use) must clearly stipulate the assessment and admission criteria and how to combine the criteria to classify, rank and determine the admission conditions for candidates according to the requirements of the training program and major. The assessment and admission criteria must be based on the requirements of basic knowledge and core competencies that candidates need to have to study the training program and major.
Ms. Thuy said that the Ministry of Education and Training carries out state management of education and training, and is responsible for reviewing and handling any signs or violations of state policies and regulations within its scope of management. For specialized issues such as university admission combinations, entrance subjects, etc., it is necessary to listen to training units and experts in the respective specific fields.
Therefore, Ms. Thuy believes that the inclusion of Literature in the medical admissions group at some private universities, which experts and medical schools have spoken out about and the schools have explained, are positive signs, demonstrating the spirit of university autonomy, coupled with accountability. Thereby, parents and candidates have more multi-dimensional information to research and choose.
"The most important factor that all stakeholders are concerned about is the training quality of the schools. Any school with an inappropriate form and method of admission, or with a very low admission rate, will be affected in terms of its reputation, brand, and training quality, and in the long run, candidates will certainly not choose to study there," said the Director of the Department of Higher Education.
Affirming that the Ministry of Education and Training always listens and accepts to be able to make policy adjustments suitable to the functions and tasks of State management, Ms. Thuy said that in the coming time, the Ministry of Education and Training will review the overall admission methods of schools, and if necessary, will request relevant training institutions to report and explain issues of concern to society./.
