At the same time, tuition fees are exempted or reduced for all types of training for students studying the above majors.

Prioritize investment and upgrading of laboratories, pre-clinical practices and clinical training facilities, creating opportunities for learners to access new techniques and technologies.

Prioritize investment, develop training programs and compile teaching materials for majors at all levels and types of training, ensuring quality and meeting the training needs of majors in the integration and development period.
