Ky Duyen's education was 'e.xposed' by Foreign Trade University, putting her at a disadvantage in international competitions?

After being crowned Miss Universe Vietnam 2024, Ky Duyen has faced many controversies surrounding her education. Accordingly, some sources spread that the beauty from Nam Dinh has not graduated from Foreign Trade University due to overdue leave.

It is known that at the time of her coronation as Miss Vietnam 2014, Ky Duyen was a first-year student of the Foreign Economic Relations Faculty at the Foreign Trade University in Hanoi. In early 2016, she announced that she would transfer to the Foreign Trade University, Ho Chi Minh City campus 2, to focus on her personal development. When reporters asked about her education, Ky Duyen refused to share.

Meanwhile, sharing with reporters, a representative of the Department of Communications and External Relations of the Foreign Trade University in Hanoi said that Ky Duyen studied at the Hanoi campus for more than a year, then she applied to transfer to the second campus in Ho Chi Minh City. Therefore, the information and academic records of the beauty born in 1996 are currently held by the Foreign Trade University, Ho Chi Minh City campus 2.

However, when the reporter contacted the Foreign Trade University, Ho Chi Minh City campus 2, the representative said: "Ky Duyen only came to the Foreign Trade University, Ho Chi Minh City campus 2 to study exchange, she is still under the management of the Foreign Trade University, Hanoi (headquarters)".

Although the truth is not yet clear, on beauty discussion groups, many debates have broken out about Ky Duyen's qualifications. Many opinions commented that Ky Duyen's lack of a university degree will more or less affect her results in the Miss Universe 2024 contest. Others said that a university degree does not have much impact on the results, in fact, the regulations stipulate that beauty contestants only need to have graduated from high school.

By noon on September 19, a representative of the Board of Directors of Hanoi Foreign Trade University had an official response to this information. A representative of Hanoi Foreign Trade University shared: "According to the training regulations, after completing the maximum training p.eriod allowed for each course or program, if students do not accumulate enough credits or do not meet the graduation requirements, they will not be considered and will not be recognized as graduating.

Student Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen (Miss Ky Duyen) is in this case and the Foreign Trade University's stance is to respect the student's choice. Therefore, the school has no further comment on the fact that student Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen has not graduated from university."

According to training expert Phuc Nguyen, who has many years of experience in beauty contests, the criteria for selecting a beauty queen can be based on two factors: necessary and sufficient. In terms of education, "sufficient" means that beauty contestants only need to graduate from high school to be eligible. "Need" means that the Organizing Committee has more expectations and contestants with outstanding academic backgrounds will receive more attention.

He added: "But for international beauty contests, before the Organizing Committee looks at the contestants' educational level, they often pay attention to their foreign language skills first. Because contestants with foreign languages have more opportunities to express themselves, communicate confidently, and convey messages to the contest."

Expert Phuc Nguyen said that the criteria for selecting a beauty queen in a contest include many factors, from beauty, education, foreign language skills to performance skills. And education is just one of the criteria that helps contestants gain extra points in the contest.

"Miss Universe Vietnam is not essentially a competition of academic qualifications, so candidates with a master's degree are not necessarily selected. However, if a candidate has a master's degree, it will be a plus point in the eyes of the judges.

For example, that contest has 10 criteria. And if you have a good education level, you will get extra points. I think, education level does not determine the result but it is one of the important factors in beauty contests," the expert commented.

According to Mr. Phuc Nguyen, in recent years, audiences have become more strict about the educational qualifications and foreign language skills of beauty pageant contestants. Therefore, when a beauty queen is crowned, it is inevitable that her university degree will be examined.

No O No relied on his position to scold Ky Duyen, and was immediately asked by netizens for 1 billion in "cash".
