VIETNAM: Universities struggle to recruit lecturers

19.09.2010

Low salaries have made it difficult for universities in Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City to attract lecturers and meet the target for new hires in 2010 set by the Ministry of Education and Training, reports Viet Nam News.

The HCM City University of Law, for example, is still looking for 35 new lecturers to meet the target of a total of 235 for the university.

Rector Mai Hong Quy said applications for the position of lecturers with masters or doctoral degrees had been received year-round to ensure a large pool of candidates. He added that many candidates had shifted to private educational institutes or companies, where salaries are higher.
