Can Tho University grants master degrees to sutdentsThe Mekong Delta region has 17 universities across 10 provinces, with seven universities providing higher education courses. They must also carry out inspections to ensure the education quality. Vo Trong Huu, head of the Department of Culture and Social Affairs said, "Some universities that don't meet requirements to open higher education courses and are creating affiliate programmes with other universities capitalise on this." However, the high enrolment numbers are exposing weaknesses in education quality and management. Even though the needs for higher education has sharply surged after some cities and provinces in the Mekong Delta revealed incentives for degrees holders, the management and education quality of such courses are still being debated.
