Half Of HCMC’s State Agency Officials Don’t Know How To Use Email

In a recent article by Dantri International, a survey conducted by the Department of Information and Communications revealed that as much as 50 percent of the higher officials in the city’s state departments and agencies do not know how to use their work email.

IT skills of many of the higher ranking officials in HCMC rank among the lowest in the country according to Le Manh Ha, vice chairman of the HCMC People’s Committee. 

A mere one official in the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism uses email, and astonishingly, no one from the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, reportedly, even has an email address. 

Vietnam’s internet penetration may be among the highest in the world, but it looks like it hasn’t quite made an impact on Vietnam’s public sector quite yet.
