[Vnbiz] TO CHUC THI TUYEN QUAN CHUC NHA NUOC

[Nguyen Thu Thuy]

Many thanks to Brother Dzung for sharing the article. 
  I have not been really following this line of news and debates about Mr.Nguyen Minh Hien's language course in England, so it's very interesting for me to read your information and arguments. I like very much the examples cited by anh Hoanh about Vietnamese people learning excellent "home-made" English, one of the reasons is that chi Thanh An was my college-mate :-). Certainly, she is indeed an outstanding case that all of us, her college-mates, admire. After 3 years now studying in the Netherlands, I still "dare not" dream of her fluency and proficiency in English :-).
  I agree that the language education in Vietnam is not bad at all. However, the outcome largely depends students' qualities, capabilities, resources and attitudes toward studies. If students are "exposed" to an English-speaking environment, they will be "forced" to integrate and adapt to the surrounding. That's why Vietnamese parents now are eager to send their kids abroad.
  Returning to the point of "sending" Mr.Hien to England, I doubt that he can learn anything in the first place. I even feel it would be "cruel" if someone were forcing my parents (who are of around Mr.Hien's age) to a competitive environment of studies like what I've been experiencing so far. Hence, I conclude that Mr.Hien's goal is not "to learn English". It is really funny to me that he can even make fool of himself at this stage of his life.
  I also disagree with what Mr. Nguyen Dinh Tu (Hieu truong Dai hoc Lam Nghiep) said, asking for the investment sum equivalent to 50% of 322 Project' funds (for students studying higher education abroad) into doctoral studies at home. People often compare the sum 500-700 USD/month with the income in Vietnam, ignoring the fact that the students are just living at (even under) a very basic subsistence level in a foreign country, regardless of other "invisible" opportunities costs they are paying. Yes, indeed we need to invest more, but not just in terms of money, first of all: what we need right now is an effective, transparent and enforcible regulatory system for higher education in Vietnam. 
  ..."Ông Hùng cho rằng, để giảm tình trạng tiến sĩ "giấy" thì đà o tạo phải gắn với trách nhiệm, thương hiệu của từng trường. Trường nà o đà o tạo tiến sĩ thì cấp chứng chỉ"... This is one good point, don't you think?
  Nice day to all of you, brothers and sisters.
  Nguyen Thu Thuy
