University students work hard, struggle to keep studying
================================================== ====

VietNamNet Bridge – After school hours, many students rush to restaurants, pubs, bookstores or shopping malls, where they begin new working shifts. Work can bring them money, which allows them to keep studying, and valuable experience which will be useful in their later lives.



While her classmates spent time relaxing after a week of hard learning, Ta Linh, a student of the Vocational School in District 1, HCM City still had to go to work on Saturday and Sunday.

In a sweaty shirt, Linh told Nguoi lao dong’s reporter: “I served as a waitress at a wedding party in Tan Binh district, for which I earned 150,000 dong”.

Thu Thuy, an attractive student with a nice smile, who studies at the HCM City University of Social Sciences and Humanity, said she has had two-years of experience working as a waitress at wedding parties. “Sometimes I had to serve at three or four wedding parties which made short of breath. However, the job can bring me two million dong a month,” she said.

Phuong Thuy, a “colleague” of Thu Thuy, said that she is now a third year university student. Her parents are working in rice fields in a poor area of Nghe An province. Therefore, they can only give Thuy 1-1.2 million dong a month.

The sum of money is really too small to cover expenses in HCM City, while everything is getting more and more expensive. Thuy shares room-for-rent with a friend for which she has to pay 400,000 a month. She also has to pay at least 800,000 dong a month for meals and basic needs.

“Besides, I still have to spend money on foreign language learning, books and birthday parties. If I did not work, I would not be able to live and keep studying in HCM City for four years,” she said.

Even the students, who live in HCM City with their well-off families, also want to go to work. Minh, who lives in District 10, related that though his parents give him pocket money every month and pay for all his needs, he still decided to take a job at a wine company. Every day he goes to restaurants and pubs to introduce the products of the company. If he can find buyers, he will enjoy a commission which is equal to 20 percent of the sale prices.

All the students said that it is not easy to earn money. Thuy related that two years ago, she took a job as a waitress at a restaurant. At first, she was happy with the job, because she could earn 50,000 dong per night, while she also could get tips from clients. However, one night, a drunk man took inappropriate liberties with her. As she was too frightened, she dropped meals on the customer. As the result, she was fired immediately.

Hanh, a student, who lives in District 9 in HCM City, related that when she was working for a bia hoi (draft beer) restaurant on Thong Nhat Road in Thu Duc district, she accidentally broke a tray. As the result, she was forced to pay 1.2 million dong to the restaurant’s owner, though the tray was worth 400,000 dong only.

Working proves to be the only choice for many students. Ta Linh admitted that since she began working, her grades have become worse. “However, I have no other choice. In order to survive in the big city, you have to work hard,” she said.

Going to school – the service is much in demand
================================================== =

VietNamNet Bridge – A lot of students have found a new way to earn money. They provide a new kind of services which have not been seen in any other countries in the world: going to school in the name of clients.


Things that the service providers have to do are going to class everyday, being present at roll-call, attending training courses, and sometimes doing tests on behalf of clients.

The service providers are mostly regular training students of universities, while people, who need to use the service are mostly in-service training students. Since in-service training students are always busy with their current works, they do not have time to go to class everyday. Many in-service training students register to follow training courses, because they want to have new bachelor degrees which allow them go get promotion in their job. Meanwhile, they really do not care much about the knowledge.

Both the demand and the supply are very high. Service providers – mostly students from small cities and provinces – like to provide the service in order to get money to fund their study. Meanwhile, in-service training students need to use the service, because they would rather spend their time on other works which can bring fat money, than going to class.

It is very easy to look for service providers nowadays. Sometimes, the service providers can be found right in classes. An in-service student of a school said he knows a “service provider” who goes everyday to his class. “If you have demand, please tell her, she will meet all the demands,” he said.

Especially, the service has been advertised publicly, though the behaviour of going to class in other people’s name is considered as illegal. If someone enters a school, he will receive a lot of leaflets, where he can find the contact addresses of “service providers” and the information about how to find them. All the service providers promise to give “high quality” service to their clients, i.e. that the service providers will not miss any lessons, while lecturers will not discover that the people who go to class everyday are just imposters.

The service has been even advertised on internet. If accessing to some websites forum.clip.vn, www.hocthue.net, www.hvtc.vn, www.info.vn and chutin.vn, such information about the service can be easily found.

“You are a busy person? You have to spend your time on family’s works, friends’ parties, and you cannot go to class every day? Then you need someone, who, on behalf of you, go to class everyday and do tests for you. We can satisfy your demand. Call us 0988.85.22.xx (Mr. Dinh),” an advertisement piece reads.

Especially, the service provider stressed that when using the service, people will have the opportunity to help poor students overcome difficulties and keep their study.

A lot of students have got familiar to a website specializing in providing this kind of service at Hocthue.net. The websites describes itself as the biggest website in this field.

Tien phong’s reporters called 0974419xxx, a phone number given on the website, and met a student, V, who said he is studying at the Hanoi University of Industry. V said the service fee is about 40-50,000 dong per lesson.

Sad case for the students

Banks stop disbursement, university students weep bitterly
================================================== ===

VietNamNet Bridge – Banks and universities have voiced the same concern that the narrowing of the programme on lending to poor university students will force many students out of schools. They strongly believe that the programme needs to be resumed in the same scale in order to fund students’ study.


Nguyen Van Ngoan from Ton Duc Thang University:

The demand for borrowing money from the Bank for Social Policies is very big. So far, about 8000 students of our university have expressed their will to borrow money from the bank this school year.

I think policy makers need to inform students and their parents in advance about any changes in the policy. I am afraid that many students will encounter difficulties because they do not have money to pay tuition. Meanwhile, universities will also encounter difficulties because the education program will be a mess.

The State should think of delaying the implementation of the new policy and I think it should be implemented in the second semester of the school year.



Tran Dinh Ly, MA, from the HCM City Agriculture and Forestry University

About 8000 students from our school need to borrow capital each year. Not too long ago we were so happy when we heard that all poor students could borrow money to maintain their studies. But now we are now worried because we heard that the subjects to the loans from the Bank for Social Policies will be narrowed.

A lot of universities and students are stunned by the sudden changes in the policy on lending to poor students. I know that maybe the bank is facing difficulties with capital sources, but such a sudden change proves to be unreasonable.

I know many poor students have cried when hearing the news, because they fear that they may have to drop-out of school.



Associate Professor Dr Tran Hoang Ngan, Deputy President of the HCM City Economics University

The programme on lending to poor students has been running smoothly and there is no reason for us to stop it. I think that we should use capital from different sources and we can mobilize capital from enterprises. Enterprises will use the labour force and they need to take responsibility for the development in human resources by contributing money to funds reserved for lending to poor students.

Besides, we can also think of seeking capital from other sources, including commercial banks, if we have reasonable mechanisms. The interest rates at which commercial banks lend to students may be higher than the loans provided by the Bank for Social Policies, but must be lower than the banks’ consumer interest rates.



Tran Van Tien, Deputy Director of the HCM City branch of the Bank for Social Policies

People will meet many difficulties with the sudden changes. By September 30, 548 billion dong had been disbursed to 51,598 students in HCM City. With the new decision, thousands of students in HCM City will not be able to continue taking out loans.

I think the State should seek more capital sources so as to have more capital to lend to students. The investment in education proves to be the best investment.

I know a college student in VN. She told me the tuition is 2 billion dong (S$140) per semester but she could not afford it. She can borrow money from the bank at an interest rate of 6%. This is a very good deal because if she deposits the money in the bank, the interest rate is 11%. That means she can make a profit of 5%.
