Representing the vocational training institution based in the area, Mr. Nguyen Duc Luu, Rector of Bac Ninh Industrial College, expressed the problem that the school is currently concerned about attracting, building a team of teachers to work towards. The goal is to develop into a high quality school.

“It is not easy to attract a university engineer in vocational education and training. The same teacher, but the general teacher recruited and vocational education teacher recruited very difficult. There are even “bleeding”, which is the case from vocational education and training institutions but then transferred to work for businesses. Normally, the salary in the school is calculated by the coefficient, while if entering the enterprise, the employee is paid tens of millions of dong. Those who stay must say it is truly faithful,” said Mr.Luu

Mr. Luu said that this is a real problem and recommends the need to study specific attraction policies.
