Bộ GD‑ĐT sẽ siết chặt điểm cộng IELTS: giảm điểm bonus, yêu cầu quy đổi sang thang 10 để ngăn các trường đại học “cộng điểm quá đà”. Đây là bước nhằm công bằng trong tuyển sinh đại học. #GiáoDục #TuyểnSinh #IELTS #University #Education #Vietnam #MinistryOfEducation

📰 Nhiều sinh viên trả hàng trăm triệu đồng để chuẩn bị hồ sơ thạc sĩ, nhưng bằng đại học của họ không được Bộ Giáo dục & Đào tạo công nhận. Hậu quả: họ rơi vào bối cảnh suy sụp, mất thời gian và tài chính. Cần có giải pháp nhanh chóng, minh bạch để bảo vệ quyền lợi sinh viên và cải thiện quy trình công nhận bằng cấp.

Việc đào tạo chuyên sâu cho ngành y, như đào tạo bác sĩ nội trú và chuyên khoa, sẽ tiếp tục do Bộ Y tế quy định và chịu trách nhiệm.

"... there is a rich ecosystem of tools and services which could relatively rapidly, with minimal investment, be moulded into a credible alternative to the monopolies, and it would address their inherent structural and cultural flaws, like digital colonisation and data sovereignty. What we need now is a clear plan that the Ministry of Education can resource to pilot that ‘Third Way’."

@jonathanharker @strypey there were efforts at that, and big orgs, like the #MinistryOfEducation could've thrown their weight & resources behind it, in collaboration with their counterparts in other countries... but they didn't. That'd involve coordination, cooperation, sharing, and collegiality - all anathema to education, apparently. Nope. Instead, they just paid a LOT for US proprietary software, mostly written for US-based corporate cogs.
