According to information, there may be only 10 teacher training institutions left in the near future. According to statistics from the Ministry of Education and Training, the country currently has 13 universities specializing in pedagogy and 61 multidisciplinary universities providing pedagogical training.
If including secondary and college training, the whole country currently has about 100 schools licensed to train teachers.
Reality shows that in recent years, the number of bachelors of education who have not found jobs has increased. The situation of local teacher surplus and shortage still occurs in many places. The Ministry of Education and Training also admits that in recent years, the quality of teacher input is generally low, failing to attract excellent students to study education.
Re-planning teacher training schools is the goal of the Ministry of Education and Training to solve the problem of teacher shortage. |
To solve this problem, the Ministry of Education and Training said that it has been and will continue to review, arrange and plan teacher training facilities based on standards on quality assurance conditions, to form 10 prestigious central teacher training facilities with sufficient capacity to train teachers.
Other training facilities will transform their operations to become branches or satellites of central schools, focusing on the task of retraining and fostering teachers for the entire system.
The entire training program of teacher training colleges will be standardized and used uniformly throughout the system to ensure the quality of teacher training.
Currently, teacher training colleges across the country are still anxiously waiting to see what their "fate" will be.
If the planning of teacher training colleges moves towards having only 10 key teacher training institutions, it will have a significant impact on the staff, lecturers, and workers working at local teacher training colleges.
