According to Mai Xuan Tri, Deputy Director of the Department of Labor, War Invalids & Social Affairs, from 2015, vocational schools are allowed to register for enrolment plans based on their actual conditions and utilize the credit education system to assess learners’ progress. Academic credit can be gained by successfully completing a study module. The training focuses on major knowledge and skills required by workplaces.
In addition, consulting sessions are boosted to help students choose suitable specialties for their abilities and interests. Cooperation with businesses has been enhanced to link training with market labor demand. Moreover, vocational learners who are graduates of junior high schools are exempted from training fees according to the Law on Vocational Education & Training.
The law together with feasible strategies made by local agencies, departments and vocational schools have painted a brighter picture for vocational schools.
