Training must be linked to the needs of socio-economic development.
Speaking to staff and students of Vinh University, the Minister of Education and Training (MOET) affirmed the very important role of the university in human resource training. However, in the current period, to meet development requirements, Vinh University needs to study local development to train and support the province.
The school needs to restructure its training structure towards the professions that the province needs and the professions in which it has strengths.
In addition, the Minister of Education and Training assessed that the school's science and technology group is still weak. Therefore, in the future, the province has a direction to develop fields such as electronics, processing, and high-tech agriculture.
Therefore, the Minister of Education and Training suggested that the school should develop in the direction of technology institutes and have a technology model. Moving forward, the school will develop into a multidisciplinary school.

Scientific research at Vinh University is still limited, there are no quality scientific works or publications.
“Scientific research projects must be transferred to localities. Try to have projects ordered by the province, research linked to training,” the Minister of Education and Training emphasized.
On the other hand, another important task that comrade Phung Xuan Nha noted is that Vinh University must become a quality teacher training center, worthy of the school's brand.
"Students who are "stupid" at IT and weak in foreign languages will have difficulty integrating."
Talking to students of Vinh University, when mentioning the issue of job creation, the Minister of Education and Training stated that the responsibility of graduates is not only to find jobs for themselves but also to create jobs for others.
“To do that, first of all, students must learn knowledge and master their profession. The concept of learning now requires not only knowledge but also methods. However, knowledge is only a necessary condition, the sufficient condition is skills,” said comrade Phung Xuan Nha.

In order for students to integrate well, Minister Phung Xuan Nha said that if they want to integrate with society and the world, they must first integrate with their families and those around them. Because our country's education values family.
“Many parents send their children to extra classes while they have not yet been fully educated in the skills, manners, and rules of communication with relatives. First of all, we must have behavioral skills in the family and then in life,” Minister Nha worried.
Next, students must equip themselves with information technology and foreign languages. “Students who graduate with poor information technology skills and weak foreign languages will have difficulty integrating. Students must experience these skills with a proactive mindset,” the Minister of Education and Training advised Vinh University students.
