How many students is a lecturer carrying?

According to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training on university education standards, the ratio of students converted by level, field and form of training to full-time lecturers is not greater than 40, meaning one lecturer must not exceed 40 students. What is the current ratio in schools?

The university education institution standards issued by the Ministry of Education and Training stipulate that lecturers must meet requirements on quantity, qualifications and time budget to ensure the quality of teaching and research.

In which, criterion 2.1 of the lecturer standard requires the ratio of converted learners according to level, field and form of training to full-time lecturers of schools to not be greater than 40.

This article lists universities with a total training scale (including undergraduate, master's and doctoral levels) of 10,000 or more students, based on the annual public announcement of the 2024-2025 school year of universities as of October 30.

Statistics may be incomplete because some fields have not updated information, or have updated but are incomplete, or the file/link cannot be searched.

Which institution offers the most postgraduate training?

Through statistics, it can be seen that the top 5 universities with the largest total training scale include: Van Lang University (55,702), Can Tho University (48,833), Hanoi University of Science and Technology (46,957), Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry (40,580) and Ho Chi Minh City Open University (39,512). These are also the 5 schools with the largest total student size in the above order.

However, in terms of postgraduate training, Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics ranks first with 5,549 graduate and doctoral students, although the total training scale is only ranked 6th (39,400). Can Tho University ranks second with 3,054 master and doctoral students, Hanoi National University of Education ranks third with 2,975 students.

Some higher education institutions have a lower total training scale (around 15,000) but a postgraduate scale of over 1,000, including Banking Academy (1,721), Hong Bang International University (1,081), Ho Chi Minh City University of Law (1,053), University of Social Sciences and Humanities - Hanoi National University (1,193).

There are schools where one lecturer "shoulders" more than 40 students.

According to the formula given by the Ministry of Education and Training, the ratio of students to lecturers is equal to the total number of students converted by level, field and form of training (N) divided by the total number of full-time lecturers.

The formula for calculating N is based on the total training scale data (full-time university, part-time, distance; graduate students; doctoral students) and the teaching load factor of the training field.

Formula for calculating student-teacher ratio

Teaching coefficient of the training field to calculate the total number of learners converted by level, field and form of training (N), from which the learner/lecturer ratio is calculated.

Teaching coefficient of the training field to calculate the total number of learners converted by level, field and form of training (N), from which the learner/lecturer ratio is calculated.

The data shows that most schools meet the ratio required by the Ministry of Education and Training of no more than 40 students per teacher.

However, there are still some schools where one lecturer "shoulders" more than 40 students such as Dong Thap University (45.22), University of Electricity (43.8), Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education (43.45), University of Finance - Marketing (42.22), Academy of Finance (41.88).

Meanwhile, Hanoi University has the highest surplus with a ratio of 15.3 students/lecturer. Next are the University of Science and Technology - Danang University 1 (7.6), Dong A University (17.7), Thuy Loi University (18.3), Hanoi University of Construction (19), University of Economics - Danang University (22.36)...
