Scheduled for March 10, this crucial online seminar, covered by VnExpress, explores the impact of transnational education on Vietnam's higher education quality, with a focus on collaboration between Vietnamese and international institutions, particularly those from the U.K.
The education sector in Vietnam has witnessed a notable surge in collaborations with over 50 countries, prominently with the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Australia, and South Korea. Boasting more than 600 joint training programs, the U.K. stands out with over 90 programs, underscoring its pivotal role in meeting the high demand for advanced education among Vietnamese students.
In the past decade, Vietnam's foreign joint training market has flourished, driven by the "go global, stay local" strategy. This approach allows Vietnamese students to pursue international degrees domestically, offering advantages like cost savings, time efficiency, and improved language skills. Dr. Dong Xuan Dam emphasizes the crucial role of international cooperation in enhancing educational technologies and research capacities.
Despite the growth in international joint programs, the education sector faces challenges related to training quality and student attraction amid significant changes in Vietnam's higher education landscape. Dr. Dam underscores the importance of developing professional capacity and language proficiency to enhance students' future career opportunities.
This seminar serves as a pivotal moment for Vietnam's education sector, shedding light on the benefits and challenges of international educational cooperation. It provides a platform for stakeholders to discuss ways to enhance the quality and accessibility of higher education in Vietnam, fostering a promising and dynamic future driven by a commitment to excellence and global integration.
