A National Assembly deputy s statement that having three bachelor’s degrees but remaining unemployed is a reality in Vietnam has stirred controversy.
National Assembly deputy Bui Sy Loi made the statement when talking about vocational education and career guidance for students.
He said the education sector needs to improve student classification after high school. Only 30 percent of students should go to university after fulfilling general education levels, while the other 70 percent should go to vocational school.
Most high school graduates in Vietnam want to continue studying at university, which is believed to be a waste of the society’s resources.
