Expectations for innovation and development of Vinh University in the 2025 - 2030 term

1. Mr. Mai Van Chung - Head of Science and International Cooperation Department, Vinh University:

Over the years, international cooperation has become one of the strategic driving forces helping Vinh University improve the quality of training and scientific research, while affirming its position on the regional and international education map.

The school has implemented various forms of cooperation, from academic exchanges, training program development, to joint research and knowledge transfer.

International cooperation activities not only create conditions for lecturers and students to access advanced educational standards, but also contribute to modernizing training programs, promoting international publications and expanding academic networks. In particular, community and environmental programs have spread humanistic values, connecting the school with sustainable development goals.

In the context of deep integration and university autonomy, international cooperation opens up opportunities for comprehensive development but also poses many challenges in terms of institutions, integration capacity, resources and competition.

The Party Congress of the School for the 2025 - 2030 term needs to continue to identify international cooperation as one of the pillars of sustainable development.

The school needs to have a clear strategy, prioritize key partners, improve the capacity of integration staff, promote the role of digital transformation, and at the same time perfect appropriate policy mechanisms.

It is not only a professional task but also a political requirement in the process of affirming the prestige and mission of a key national university in the new period.

2. Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong Loan - Head of Mathematics Department, School of Education (Vinh University):

During the 2020 - 2025 term, Vinh University has focused on training and fostering staff and lecturers. Many in-depth training courses on modern teaching methods and application of information technology according to the CDIO model have been systematically organized.

In 2023, the School issued the "Training Program Quality Assurance" Standard Set version 1.0, aiming to improve quality and international integration.

At the same time, the formation of strong research groups and research teams has contributed to promoting scientific activities and international cooperation among the teaching staff.

At the Faculty of Mathematics alone, 100% of lecturers (except for 3 newly recruited staff) have PhD degrees, including 2 professors and 5 associate professors.

Participation in training programs and research groups helps lecturers innovate their thinking, improve their teaching skills, learning management and curriculum design.

However, there are still some shortcomings such as uneven foreign language proficiency; large workload limits time for professional training; and slow staffing for units.

I expect the new term Party Executive Committee of the University to have a synchronous strategy, combining professional development - ethics - management skills for the team; promoting digital transformation; enhancing international academic exchanges and making worthy investments for talented classes. In particular, there needs to be a specific mechanism to develop the Pedagogical School - where the tradition, quality and brand of Vinh University converge.

3. Ms. Vo Thi Phuong Nga - Deputy Secretary of the Student Party Cell, School of Economics (Vinh University):

Over the years, the activities of the student party cell at Vinh University have been maintained seriously, ensuring compliance with the principles of Party organization and activities.

The content of activities is increasingly innovative, practical, and closely related to students' lives. Party cells actively organize thematic activities, integrating issues such as life ideals, behavioral culture, and career orientation, thereby attracting young party members to participate more effectively.

Despite difficulties due to fluctuations in the number of party members (graduation, transfer of activities, internships...), party cells are still proactive in organizing flexible and creative activities.

The democratic and open atmosphere has helped student party members mature in political thinking, practice ethics and raise their sense of responsibility. Many party members are exemplary students in studying, scientific research, volunteering, and have been recognized in major movements of the school.

To improve the quality of Party cell activities in the coming time, it is necessary to build a system of connections between student Party cells throughout the Party; promote the role of orientation, support and replication of good models. At the same time, it is necessary to create more political activities specifically for student Party members and have a suitable reward mechanism.

I hope that the School Party Congress for the 2025 - 2030 term will continue to pay attention to and invest in Party work among students, develop a team of young Party members with courage, intelligence and qualities, contributing to affirming the political core role of student Party cells throughout the school.

4. Mr. Nguyen Thai Dung - Secretary of Vinh University Youth Union:

In the 2020 - 2025 term, the Party development work among students has always been of interest to the Standing Committee of the School Party Committee and identified as one of the top political tasks.

Therefore, in parallel with promoting political and ideological education work,,The Vinh University Party Committee has closely followed and directed the Youth Union - Student Association to organize many meaningful models, diverse clubs, teams, groups... creating an environment for union members to practice and mature.

Through movements and activities, the "red seeds" for the Party were discovered and nurtured. The clearest evidence is that during this term, the entire Party Committee admitted over 1,000 new Party members, ranking first in the country and raising the total number of Party members of the entire School to over 2,000 comrades, of which 1,272 were students.

This is a truly impressive number, demonstrating the special attention of the School Party Committee for the young generation.

Entering the 2025 - 2030 term, the Youth Union and Student Association of the School hope that the School Party Committee will continue to pay attention to and promote the development of young party members with specific orientations. In particular, political and ideological education will be innovated to be more suitable for young people.

On the part of the School Youth Union and Student Association, we will continue to promote in-depth activities, closely linked to expertise, promote self-awareness and encourage clubs, teams and groups to promote collective strength.

At the same time, increase activities to train skills, expertise and professionalism for union members and students to support them in the process of establishing and starting a business.

We believe that, with the attention of the Party Committee, the efforts of the Youth Union - Student Association, together with the pioneering spirit and enthusiasm of the youth, Vinh University will continue to have many outstanding young party members, contributing to the strong development of the University, of Nghe An province and of the country.

5. Mr. Nguyen Thanh Loc - President of Vinh University Student Association:

During my time studying at Vinh University, I was fortunate to participate in scientific research activities for students and won a number of awards at various levels.

This is not only the result of individual efforts, but also a clear demonstration of the positive academic environment and close guidance from the Party Committee and the School Board in encouraging students to develop their creativity, especially in the field of scientific research.

During the last term, I noticed that the school has made many strong innovations in training. The implementation of project-based teaching has helped students to approach research thinking early, develop problem-solving skills and critical thinking.

Along with that, the system of laboratories, modern learning library, open learning space, and increasingly diverse international cooperation and business cooperation programs have created conditions for students to form research groups and approach advanced research methods naturally and proactively.

I believe that scientific research is the way to help students develop comprehensively - not only in knowledge but also in thinking, attitude and responsibility to the community.

Therefore, in the coming term, I hope that the Party Committee and the School Board will continue to expand opportunities for students to participate in research: from increasing support resources for student topics, organizing more academic playgrounds and scientific seminars, to connecting research ideas with businesses, localities, and domestic and foreign organizations so that research results can be truly applied to life.

It is expected that, with a clear development orientation and the support of the University, Vinh University students - when trusted and given opportunities - will continue to be a creative and enthusiastic force, actively contributing to the goal of making the University a center of innovation, a pioneer in research, knowledge transfer and development into a regional University, a prestigious training center in the region and the world.
