Meanwhile, the students who study abroad under self-sponsorship do not have to register to the Ministry of Education and Training, they just have to contact their universities and follow administrative procedures in localities.

Immediately after hearing about the death of Binh, MOET contacted the Vietnamese Embassy in Russia. The embassy has asked all students, no matter which mode of training they follow, to register at the overseas student management division under the embassy to get support from the embassy.

In all cases, students should avoid going out alone at night, even when they live in countries with good security.

You have said that students have to register with the student management division. However, an expert in overseas training, said that in countries where there are many Vietnamese students, there is a lack of staff in charge of managing overseas students?

MOET has recruited employees for managing overseas students in the US, UK, Australia, Japan and China. In some countries, employees of Vietnamese embassies hold the work of managing overseas students as well. The specific employees in charge of managing overseas students are lacking in many countries, including Eastern European countries.

The arrangement of more staff to be in charge of managing overseas students depends on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Many overseas study consultancy firms do not have a sense of responsibility in their work. They just try to bring as many students abroad as possible and then leave them alone. What do you have to say about this?

Overseas study consultancy firms have to take responsibility in sending Vietnamese students abroad. They also have to take responsibility in contacting local education management agencies and departments to seek cooperation and support from the agencies for students.

However, the firms have not paid attention to this. They now only take care of sending as many students abroad as possible. It is not good. Not every overseas study consultancy centre can ensure its consultancy service quality.

More and more students will study abroad. What can you say to them to help encourage them to focus on studying?

They need to prepare well for overseas study, focus on their study plan, protect themselves and establish good relations in the community.

I have visited Russian universities recently and I found Russian professors very good. Therefore, the diplomatic relations between the two countries should not be spoiled just because of the murder of Binh.
