THE COLLEGE’S DIFFICULTIES 1. The number of Universities and Colleges and their growth are continuously increasing nationwide, as a result, it is very difficult to recruit more and more students in line with our scale. 2. Material facilities, teaching equipment, especially practicing areas are still difficult. There is a lack of a standard practicing area, so professional skills of the students are limited. 3. The College is under rejuvenation to upgrade to University. It is a big pressure to have enough young qualified lecturers to meet the need of managing, teaching, science research.
