Transfer university admission tasks back to the University Department

All tasks related to university and college admissions under the state management of the Ministry of Education and Training will be transferred from the Department of Testing and Education Quality Assessment to the Department of Higher Education.

All tasks related to university and college admissions under the state management of the Ministry of Education and Training will be transferred from the Department of Testing and Education Quality Assessment back to the Department of Higher Education.

This is an important change in the functions and tasks of two units under the Ministry of Education and Training according to the decision just signed by Minister Phung Xuan Nha. This transfer has brought the enrollment work back to the Department of Higher Education as previously assigned by the Ministry of Education and Training.

Before 2012, university and college admissions were also the responsibility of the Department of Higher Education and this task was transferred to the Department of Testing and Education Quality Assessment from January 2012.

Thus, after nearly five years of being in charge of enrollment work, the Department of Testing and Education Quality Assessment is responsible for handing over all records and documents related to the transfer of tasks so that the Department of Higher Education can continue to implement it.

Accordingly, the Department of Higher Education will preside over and coordinate with relevant agencies and units to assist the Minister in enrollment work, develop and submit to the Minister for approval, promulgate legal documents, projects, and guidance documents on enrollment work, and at the same time develop, manage, and train in the use of enrollment software.

In addition, the Department of Higher Education will directly direct higher education institutions and colleges under the state management of the Ministry of Education and Training, and guide provincial People's Committees, ministries, and ministerial-level agencies in implementing enrollment work.

With this transfer of tasks, the Department of Higher Education will also take the lead in the university and college entrance examination.

The Department of Higher Education will be responsible for coordinating with the inspectorate and relevant units in inspecting university and college admissions and coordinating with the Department of Information Technology and relevant units in developing university and college admissions software.

Currently, colleges have been transferred to the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs for management, leaving only pedagogical colleges still under the state management of the Ministry of Education and Training.
