41 professor and associate professor candidates fail to meet standards after review
Most of the eliminated candidates were guest lecturers, and did not meet the standards due to lack of evidence of teaching hours.

According to Decision 174 on standards and procedures for appointment and dismissal of the titles of professor and associate professor,To prove teaching hours, candidates must have a teaching contract, contract termination, and confirmation from the university. All candidates must submit these three pieces of evidence when submitting their applications.Applicants do not have to submit more detailed evidence such as teaching schedules, timetables, etc. However, if there is any problem with the application, they need to be able to present it.
Reviewing 94 professors and associate professors: some candidates have withdrawn.
The review of 94 professors and associate professors who meet the criteria for recognition but have had complaints and complaints against their records as directed by the Prime Minister is being carried out urgently. It is known that currently, there are candidates on the list of reviewed professors and associate professors who have submitted their withdrawal applications.
"Many visiting lecturers do not keep these detailed documents and evidence. Therefore, it is very unfortunate for some visiting lecturers, whose records are good but because they lack evidence of sufficient teaching hours, they do not meet the standards for recognition as professors or associate professors," said Mr. Ga. Some people, because they do not have enough necessary evidence of teaching hours, have withdrawn their records before the inspection begins.
To avoid such unfortunate events for candidates when submitting applications for recognition as professors and associate professors, the Vice President of the State Council for Professor Titles said that in the following years, detailed instructions will be provided on the documents that need to be kept.
After reviewing the profiles of professor and associate professor candidates, 54 qualified profiles will be reported to the Minister of Education and Training, who is also Chairman of the State Council for Professor Titles, for approval and signing of the recognition decision.
