Sir, please tell us what breakthrough strategies Thai Nguyen University has been and is implementing to change management thinking and innovate teaching methods to meet the increasing demands of the labor market in the current context?
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hoang Van Hung: With the role of a key regional university of the country, Thai Nguyen University (ĐHTN) has been and is implementing 5 breakthrough strategies in the 2026-2030 period: Restructuring the apparatus, innovating university governance, towards "jointly unifying the implementation of common goals, missions, and tasks"; developing a team of lecturers with creative capacity and aspirations to contribute; improving training quality, promoting scientific research and technology transfer, supporting startup and innovation activities; developing training programs and quality accreditation of education according to international standards; building ĐHTN into a digital university and being in the group of 500 leading universities in Asia.
Among the above strategies, university governance innovation is a key highlight contributing to changing management thinking, innovating training programs according to international approaches to meet the increasing demands of the labor market in the context of increasingly strong digital transformation.
Improving the quality of education is a vital factor for any training institution, but the core of quality lies in the teaching staff. To reassure scientists and lecturers to contribute, what specific policies, preferential mechanisms and "orders" has Thai Nguyen University had?
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hoang Van Hung: ĐHTN has built many incentive mechanisms, ignited the spirit of dedication, and created motivation for cadres, civil servants, and workers to best complete assigned tasks; there is a mechanism to protect cadres who innovate, are creative, dare to think, dare to do.
ĐHTN is interested in solutions to develop an innovative working environment throughout the university based on mechanisms and policies to select, attract, and value talents; ensuring promotion opportunities for public employees based on achievements, actual work products, and ethical qualities and prestige of public employees.
Preferential policies and career development opportunities are reserved for all cadres, civil servants and employees, including encouraging cadres, civil servants and employees to pursue doctoral studies (if eligible)...
At Thai Nguyen University, how do you assess the role of the Trade Union in both acting as a spiritual "support", practically caring for the material life of workers, and as an effective bridge to promote good teaching, good learning, and scientific innovation emulation movements?
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hoang Van Hung: DHTN Trade Union plays an important role in accompanying union members in professional and nghiệp vụ work, contributing to improving the quality of training and scientific research.
ĐHTN Trade Union is also an effective bridge to promote emulation movements for good teaching, good learning and scientific innovation, in which the goal is to build a united and creative collective, contributing to enhancing the position and prestige of ĐHTN. The spirit of innovation and creativity is spreading, becoming a vital factor for ĐHTN and member universities to effectively implement Resolution 57 and Resolution 71 of the Politburo.
In particular, the innovative ideas of officials, civil servants and employees are also expressed through emulation movements "each trade union member is an example of innovation", and expressed through the "attraction" of training programs with rapidly increasing university-wide training scale in recent times.
Sir, before the 14th Congress of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour, what message do you expect and send to the Congress?
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hoang Van Hung: The 14th Congress of the Vietnam Trade Union (term 2026 - 2031) is a major political event of the working class and the Vietnam Trade Union organization. The Congress takes place in the context of the country entering a new era - the era of national rise, associated with the strategic orientation from the 14th Party Congress.
I realize that trade unions need to be responsible for accompanying the country's development in the new period by promoting the emulation movement of good labor, creative labor, and improving labor productivity to aim for the country's high economic growth.
Thank you, sir!
