Again stating the obvious, he said low-quality input into teacher training institutions would result in low-quality output. In many developed countries, only 10-30 per cent of high school graduates with the highest scores are eligible to enter teacher training institutions. Candidates must have high scores in tests based on UK standards and succeed in a later interview with the enrollment board in order to enter the institute. Students at teacher training institutions get free tuition, so when they are unemployed or ending up doing other jobs, it is a loss for the State exchequer. Nearly VNĐ500 billion (US$22 million) from the State Budget was to pay tuition fees for students at teacher training institutions in 2014.
