    MOET is responsible for policy making, guidance, and

    supervision in connection with all the education programs

    and the administration of the higher education institutions

    With regard to course organization, MOET approves new

    courses and the education programs, develops the

    examination statutes, and confers degrees

    MOET also reviews and authorizes the publication of

    textbooks, formulates enrollment regulations, and funds thefixed institutional expenses, such as maintenance and

    salaries

    It wields significant power over education and handles a

    number of tasks including: (1) the promulgation ofregulations affecting curriculum; (2) the drafting and

    publishing of text books; (3) enrollment and student

    management; (4) academic assessment procedures and

    granting of degrees; (5) infrastructure and facilitymaintenance; (6) staffing and personnel in education; (7)

    developing future education plans; and (8) providing

    proposals to the Government for the regulation of education

    matters such as scholarships, construction of universities,

    and study abroad

    MOET has partial responsibility -- shared with the Office ofthe Government (which is attached to the Prime Ministers

    Office), the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Planningand Investment - for broader decisions of policy formulation,target setting, and sectoral financing

    MOET and the Ministry of Finance (MOF) periodically issueguidelines concerning the range for fees that institutions are

    permitted to charge

    The management and financing of education and trainingare becoming more decentralized both horizontalandvertical

    Horizontal decentralization refers to the functionaldepartments responsible for education and training in the

    central government. Although MOET plays a pre-eminentrole, many institutions in Vietnam fall under other lineministries and government agencies.

    For example, Hanoi Medical College falls under the Ministry ofHealth and the Ministry of Culture and Information manages the

    College of Culture and the Hanoi Conservatory. In one other instance,Vietnam National University, though nominally under MOET,operates independently as a separate entity.

    Vertical decentralization refers to the different levels of

    government responsible for education. In higher education

    and vocational/technical education, with the exception of

    universities, the role of provincial governments in runningeducational institutions is at least as large as the role of

    the central government.
