According to lawyer Nguyen Van Hau - Vice President of the Ho Chi Minh City Bar Association, the act of using fake diplomas and educational certificates, depending on the severity, the user will be subject to administrative sanctions or criminal prosecution.
"The Ministry of Education and Training has issued many sets of regulations on admission and training for bachelor's, master's and doctoral levels.
The regulations of the regulations clearly state that if a student commits fraud in preparing documents to obtain a diploma or certificate (using a fake diploma in the registration file), he or she will be forced to leave school, and any diplomas that have been granted will be revoked or canceled according to regulations," Mr. Hau emphasized.
Dr. Nguyen Duc Nghia - former vice director of Ho Chi Minh City National University - said: "Logically, if a person does not graduate (does not have a degree) at this level, he/she cannot study (and take exams) at a higher level (national education system framework and national qualifications framework).
So of course, if you don't have a high school diploma, you can't go to university, then get a master's or doctorate."
