According to students, the tuition fee for the first year of National Defense Education for the general program is nearly 12 million VND, and 23 million VND for the high-quality program. However, the training process for the school's students will take place at the National Defense - Security Education Center, Ho Chi Minh City National University, and not at the facilities of Ho Chi Minh City University of Law. This makes many students feel dissatisfied, because they cannot use the school's facilities, even though the tuition fee is quite high.
Many students believe that studying at a non-school facility not only reduces the quality of education, but is also unreasonable given the current tuition fees. When students have expressed their opinions to the school, they only receive unclear, roundabout answers that do not address the core of the issue.
Mr. Le Van Hien, Deputy Head of the Department of University Training, Ho Chi Minh City University of Law, said that as a public school, it ensures its own regular and investment expenses and is given financial autonomy according to the decision of the Ministry of Education and Training, so the school is allowed to determine the tuition fees of its training programs based on economic and technical standards as prescribed by the Ministry of Education and Training, and publicly explain to learners and society.
This tuition fee is calculated for the entire school year and divided by the average number of credits in that school year, so the subjects will be charged at the same unit price. This cost does not only serve the organization of a specific subject, but is the total training cost for each school year and the entire course. The National Defense and Security Education subject for students of the K49 course at Ho Chi Minh City University of Law has 4 modules (11 credits), but the tuition fee is calculated according to the general unit price, not calculated separately for this subject.
Although they are both National Defense and Security Education subjects, the standard training program and the high-quality training program have very different tuition fees. Accordingly, for the same National Defense and Security Education subject (11 credits including 4 subjects), students of the standard training program have a tuition fee of about 12 million VND, while students of the high-quality training program have to pay about 23 million VND.
According to the reporter's investigation, many universities in Ho Chi Minh City charge much lower tuition fees for National Defense and Security Education than the fee charged by Ho Chi Minh City University of Law.
Also an autonomous school, the National Defense and Security Education subject of Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade also has 4 credits, but with different prices for each credit. Credit 1 is 2,589,000 VND, credit 2 is 1,726,000 VND, credit 3 is 1,100,000 VND and credit 4 is 2,200,000 VND. The total tuition fee for this subject is 7,615,000 VND.
At Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry, the subject of National Defense and Security Education has 8 credits, with a unit price of 720,000 VND/credit, the total tuition fee is about more than 6 million VND/student.
Hong Bang International University stipulates that the subject of National Defense and Security Education also has 8 credits, priced at 640,000 VND/credit, which is included in the tuition fee of semester 1 of the 2024-2025 school year.
Students of some universities that are members of Ho Chi Minh City National University such as the University of Agriculture and Forestry only have to pay 1,350,000 VND/student for the tuition fee of the subject of National Defense and Security Education; the University of Economics and Finance collects 3,700,000 VND/student and the University of Technology collects 2,100,000 VND/student for the tuition fee of the subject of National Defense and Security Education.
It is known that only a few universities have the facilities, while most universities in Ho Chi Minh City are associated with 5 National Defense and Security Education Centers to organize teaching of this subject for students.
In addition to the Center for National Defense and Security Education at Ho Chi Minh City National University, there are also the Center for National Defense and Security Education of the City Military School; the Center for National Defense and Security Education of the Military School of Military Region 7; the Center for National Defense and Security Education of Ton Duc Thang University; and the Center for National Defense and Security Education of the City University of Physical Education and Sports.
At the Center for National Defense and Security Education, Ho Chi Minh City National University, this unit applies a common tuition fee for affiliated training schools (university level) of 1,350,000 VND/student/4 weeks of study for the 2024-2025 school year. This fee does not include laundry, food, military uniforms, etc., regardless of whether students are studying a mass program or a high-quality program.
