Talented students lack mentors: universityVietNamNet Bridge - Dr Do Quang Yen, a lecturer at the University of Virginia, who won one gold and one silver medal at the 1998 and 1999 International Mathematics Olympiads, says Vietnam lacks professors and leading experts who can develop talented students. Vietnam needs to invite the world’s leading experts to work in Vietnam and give training to students, for which they to be well awarded. The country also needs to create a policy to allow Vietnamese scientists to receive a higher income than average, allowing young talents to spend their time on research instead of taking extra work to earn a living. Vietnamese often win high prizes at international competitions, but the country's scientific research achievements remain modest.Yen believes that Vietnamese students have good qualities and the country has good teachers at general schools.
