HCM City debates teacher trainingMany in the education sector are concerned that the Ministry of Education and Training (MoET) has permitted a pilot project allowing Hồng Bàng International University to offer courses in pre-school teaching. Until now, the ministry has not given a ruling on HCM City authority’s proposal to allow such as Construction No 2 or Phương Nam to offer teaching courses. In fact, although the rate of unemployed trainee teachers in general is high, HCM City is suffering a shortage of pre-school teachers working for kindergarten and nursery schools. Every year, the city is in need of 2,000 new pre-school teachers but it can only hire about 1,500. The courses would only be continued if the quality was assured and HCM City still had a demand.
