That’s the survey results on some students are having issues in learning by Department of Education and Training of HCMC. HCMC’s new implementation was announced at the conference of professional orientation of social work in schools organized by this department.

Many educational experts are skeptical of the above results, saying that they do not reflect the reality of the education industry in HCMC. Ms. Bui Thi Diem Thu, Deputy Director of Department of Education and Training of HCMC asserted, the above shocking statistics are not accurate: “The above figures do not reflect the true quality of education sector of HCMC. If the number of students does not have motivation to study is correct, HCMC will no longer be a place to attract students from the provinces to attend.”
