Some mom and dad complain that some lecturers pressure their children who do not have high academic marks not to sign-up for the entrance exam to general public faculty. 

In Vietnam, secondary faculty graduates have two choices, both large university or vocational college. As the selection of seats at community high educational facilities is confined, learners have to contend for seats by attending entrance tests. Those who fall short the examinations will both go to a personal superior college or to a vocational faculty.

In other phrases, colleges are just giving consultations so that students and mother and father can make appropriate options. 

Nevertheless, dad and mom are continue to offended. They explained the phenomenon happens every single calendar year. When pupils prepare to finish secondary colleges, they are ‘advised’ by academics not to use for community higher colleges for the reason that even if they show up at the entrance examinations, they will surely fall short. 

A report reveals that as a lot of as 500 pupils finishing secondary faculty in a single district did not attend the exams in some several years.

But attending the tests is a conclusion of college students and parents, and they will have to get accountability for the selection. The faculties ought to not deprive pupils of the possibilities to sit the examinations and apply for community schools. 

In the identical yr, mother and father at Phu La Secondary Faculty in Ha Dong denounced the faculty for asking some mother and father to publish petitions and promise not to permit their children to go to exams to public large faculty. 

Equally faculties later on denied this. They reported that at the parents’ meetings, they only reported the tutorial results of learners and gave tips, and the students and dad and mom built the final decisions. 

In 2021, moms and dads once more complained about the same thing. Some mom and dad in Hoang Mai district mentioned they ended up invited to ‘private meetings’ in which the teachers ‘advised’ them to apply for private schools alternatively of general public faculties, and the academics would enable ‘embellish’ faculty stories so that learners could effortlessly apply for the universities.
