I did an "internship" in Thai Nguyen University of Technology in 2012. The second sentence of the article captures the first part of the problem: a tutor or professor earned ~250$/month back then, and scamming tourists in Hanoi required basic knowledge of English and some street smart and earned you four times as much. The second part of the problem was that the university was just not very good, students were basically playing Age of Empires (yay!) all day long. It was completely different from the pretty decent European university I'd attended before the internship. Going there was one of the best experiences of my life, I might add, but I can see why companies are reluctant to pay extra for this kind of education.
