Can principals be appointed for 3 consecutive tenures in Vietnam? What are qualifications for principals of colleges in Vietnam?
Hi, I would like to know the answer to this question. I am currently a freshman in college. I find the management and work of the principal of my school very good and there is no point to criticize. But this is his last year as principal because I heard he has already served 2 tenures. I really want he to do a 3rd tenure, but I don't know if it's legal or not? I hope to have an answer.

Pursuant to Clause 1, Article 14 of the Law on Vocational Education 2014 stipulates principals of vocational training schools or colleges as follows:
1. The Principal of vocational training schools or colleges is the leader of the vocational training schools or the colleges, the representative who takes legal responsibility and manages the operation of the school. Tenure of the Principal is 05 years. The Principal shall be appointed and appointed again at the end of the tenure and not exceeding two consecutive tenures.
The Principal of a public vocational training school or college shall be the owner of the school’s account, take legal responsibility for the management of finance and assets of the school.
Thus, according to the above regulations in Vietnam, the principal cannot be appointed for 3 consecutive tenures. In this case, your principal is about to end his 2nd tenure, he will not be appointed for a 3rd tenure.
