Suggesting a connection between height and success is crucial, the School of Management and Business at Vietnam National University in Hanoi announced that this year, female students under 1.58 meters tall (5’2″) and male students under 1.65 meters (5’3″) would not be accepted. The average height for Vietnamese women is 1.56 meters (5’1″), while for Vietnamese men, it is 1.68 meters (5’6″). After facing backlash, the Ministry of Education instructed the university to review these requirements. The university decided to eliminate height restrictions for all programs except for Management and Security, where students still need to meet the height criteria.
