Professor Ngo Bao Chau: Income for university lecturers is a serious feature!
“The salary of university lecturers in Vietnam is complex, lacks transparency and rigid mechanisms. In Vietnam, payment for researchers and lecturers at universities is based on the minimum salary policies for state officers. The salaries of young teachers are very low, discouraging them from doing anything more than what is required. With the current low pay, many lecturers find it difficult to sustain a middle-class standard of living, which is necessary for a standard education system, as it demonstrates how much value the country places on education. Those who are able to carry out scientific research must be freed up from daily tasks.”
