HCM City (VNA) – Education quality is one of the decisive factors for the advancement and development of the society, said Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Thien Nhan on August 20.
Deputy PM Nhan was chairing an online video conference between Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi , entitled “Training for the Demands of Society and Businesses.”
At the conference, which drew scientists, educational managers, enterprisers and over 700 students from 60 universities and colleges nationwide, Nhan emphasised that training must match the requirements of the society. For the goal, all concerned parties, from the State agencies to schools and enterprises and students must proactively co-ordinate.
A recent survey shows that only 60 percent of Vietnamese students have found jobs that are suitable to their majors and meet recruiters’ requirements. Meanwhile, the serious shortage of human resources has been seen in many sectors, including finance and banking, tourism, and industrial production.
According to the Ministry of Finance, by 2010, insurance, securities and auditing sectors will need about 13,500 people. Meanwhile the information technology sector needs 80,000 software engineers to reach the goal of 800 million USD in software revenues also set for 2010.-Enditem
