HÀ NỘI – Universities offering agriculture and forestry majors have experienced a persistent decline in enrollment in recent years, raising concerns about a potential shortage of skilled staff in this critical industry. Dr Nguyễn Hưng Quang, Rector of the University of Agriculture and Forestry under Thái Nguyên University told E-magazine giaoduc.net.vn that the enrollment of traditional agriculture and forestry majors has become increasingly difficult in the past five years. Quang also said most traditional agriculture and forestry majors were taught at local universities, which were often perceived as less attractive. In recent years, some traditional agricultural majors had very few or even no students registering for them. The ministry would review the list of universities with agricultural and forestry majors, as well as the demand for these majors in business, and improve training quality accordingly.
