RESUMEN: Cerca de 1.600 confrontaciones físicas entre alumnos de diversas partes de Vietnam han sido registrados en los últimos siete años, según un informe publicado por el Ministerio de Educación. El Ministerio de Educación y Capacitación, en coordinación con el Instituto de Ciencias de la Educación de Vietnam, organizó una conferencia el miércoles para abordar las preocupaciones sobre la aparente disminución de la depravación moral de los estudiantes vietnamitas en los últimos años. De acuerdo con estadísticas del Ministerio de Educación y Formación, cerca de 1.600 combates estallaron entre los estudiantes desde el inicio del año escolar 2009, muchos de los cuales fueron clasificados como criminales violaciónes. La gravedad de la violencia también aumentó con el tiempo a un ritmo alarmante, dijo el ministerio, agregando que muchos de los incidentes de armas, incluian cuchillos, machetes, e incluso pistolas de fabricación casera. La violencia no parece ser el único problema que afecta a la moralidad de los adolescentes. Otro informe del Ministerio de Salud mostró las adolescentes constituyen alrededor de 120.000 casos anuales de 1,4 millones de abortos del país.

The Ministry of Education and Training, in coordination with the Vietnam Institute of Educational Sciences, organized a conference on Wednesday to address concerns over the apparent decline in moral turpitude of Vietnamese students in recent years.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Education and Training, nearly 1,600 fights broke out between students since the beginning of the 2009 school year, many of which were categorized as criminal violations.

The severity of the violence also increased over time at an alarming rate, the ministry said, adding that many of the incidents involved weapons, including knives, machetes, and even homemade guns.

The majority of confrontations arose from childish reasons.

Another concern addressed at the conference was the prevalence of violent school videos finding their way onto social media.

In one case, several students filmed their gang attack on one victim and later published the videos online.

In a more recent case, footage depicting two schoolgirls from the north-central province of Nghe An being attacked by a group of female students from another school was uploaded to Facebook on October 4.

The attackers only left the scene after one of the victims was bleeding, sparking immense concern from the public over the responsibility of the local education sector.

Violence does not seem to be the only issue of morality affecting teens. Another report by the Ministry of Health showed teenage girls make up around 120,000 of the country’s annual 1.4 million abortion cases.

According to Tu Du, the biggest maternity hospital in southern Vietnam, about 400 female patients between the ages of 11 and 18 come to the hospital annually to terminate their pregnancy.
