Vietnam Women's Academy fined 150 million VND for recruiting more than 500% of its target

The Inspectorate of the Ministry of Education and Training has just announced the conclusion of the inspection on enrollment and training activities at the Vietnam Women's Academy (headquartered in Hanoi, campus in Ho Chi Minh City). Accordingly, the university's enrollment at the undergraduate and master's levels all had violations when the enrollment quota exceeded the regulations.

With university level , in 2022, the regular transfer form from intermediate and college to university in Social Work is 50 targets, while the target according to regulations is 26 (exceeding 24 targets, exceeding rate of 92.3%); transfer form of part-time study in Law is 63 targets, the target according to regulations is 11 (exceeding 52 targets, exceeding rate of 472.7%); Social Work is 50 targets, the target according to regulations is 8 (exceeding 42 targets, exceeding rate of 525%).

Vietnam Women's Academy was fined 150 million VND for organizing recruitment and training in violation of regulations.

In 2023, the regular Law program will recruit 40 students, of which 34 are required (6 more than the required quota, 17.6% overage rate); the Social Work program will recruit 42 students, of which 37 are required (5 more than the required quota, 13.5% overage rate); the Law program will recruit 60 students, of which 11 are required (49 more than the required quota, 445.5% overage rate); the Social Work program will recruit 20 students, of which 12 are required (8 more than the required quota, 66.7% overage rate).

Also in 2023, the academy recruited university students in the form of part-time study and work in Social Work, exceeding the prescribed number, when the number of successful candidates and admissions (according to the admission decision) was 30, although the prescribed quota was 12 (exceeding the quota by 18, the rate of exceeding 150%).

For master's level , the content of the 2023 master's enrollment announcement does not guarantee the time. The Academy organizes learning and evaluates the results of additional knowledge of candidates taking the exam, but lacks evidence showing the recognition of the results of completing additional knowledge to consider the conditions for taking the exam according to regulations.

The Master's degree admission council (2022, 2023) has a composition of members (secretaries) that is not in accordance with the Academy's master's degree admission and training regulations. The Academy does not conduct inspection and examination activities for the 2022, 2023 master's degree entrance exam according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training.

With the doctoral level, the academy itself determined and announced the 2023 enrollment plan as 8 targets, but in the announcement on October 2, 2023, it was 10 targets.

The inspection conclusion also pointed out many mistakes of the Vietnam Women's Academy in training activities.

The training organization lacks a legal basis for recruiting and organizing training, information about the teaching staff (permanent and guest lecturers) and management staff, planning and monitoring of teaching plans in Ho Chi Minh City. In particular, at this facility, the organization and management of university-level training is not in accordance with regulations.

The Inspectorate of the Ministry of Education and Training requested the Vietnam Women's Academy to conduct the enrollment of undergraduate, master's and doctoral degrees in accordance with the procedures of the Ministry of Education and Training and other relevant legal regulations. At the same time, it drew up a record of administrative violations against the academy for the above-mentioned acts with the amount of 150 million VND.
