In Can Tho City, every year, higher education institutions in the area enroll nearly 30,000 students, serving the human resource training needs of the entire Mekong Delta region. However, according to educational institutions, inviting and attracting human resources, especially foreign experts and lecturers to the city still faces some difficulties related to procedures.
Dr. Nguyen Xuan Phong - Vice Principal of FPT University, Can Tho Branch - said that currently, the procedures for applying for a labor license for foreign experts and lecturers teaching at the University must be handled at the central level. This takes a lot of time and effort.
Therefore, if there is a specific mechanism, the school hopes that the city can consider and propose to decide on issues allowing foreign experts and lecturers to work at local and city levels. This will support educational institutions in attracting foreign experts to teach.
According to Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Trung Tinh - Principal of Can Tho University - Central, there are regulations and policies related to attracting foreign experts. What the school is interested in is how to specify those policies, such as the number allocated to each school or the issue of granting labor licenses to foreign experts and lecturers. In particular, attracting foreign experts may affect the opening of new industry activities at the unit.
For very new majors in Vietnam, if they do not hire experts, there will be a shortage of permanent lecturers. For example, the industry trains human resources to operate nuclear power plants, if there are no experts, they have to go to international invitations. And called up internationally but could not sign a contract. Therefore, this is also a difficult problem, explained Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Trung Tinh.
