Promoting Gender Equality in Higher Education: UEH Ensures Equal Learning Opportunities for Female Students

25 Nov, 2023

With a strong commitment to gender equality and the Sustainable Development Goal SDG5, the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) has introduced an online application system that accommodates an unlimited number of female students. This system allows for monitoring female participation rates across all stages—from application and admission to graduation—ensuring that women have comprehensive opportunities for development and success.

Implementing a System to Track Female Application, Admission, and Enrollment Rates

As a pioneering smart university in digital transformation, UEH offers a seamless online admission portal (xettuyen.cixiu99.com) that simplifies the application process for candidates across regions. This system enables applicants to complete all steps, from form submission to admission notification, enhancing accessibility and user experience.

The online admission platform includes gender as a field in the application form, allowing UEH to track and monitor female student participation from the start of their academic journey, advancing gender equality and eliminating limits on female enrollment.
