(Baonghean) -Currently, the province has 15 female Associate Professors and 29 female PhDs working at universities and colleges. They have made many contributions to the education sector, especially in scientific research, and have successfully implemented the movement of "being good at public affairs and taking care of family affairs"...

With over 20 years as a lecturer in the Department of Politics, Nghe An College of Economics and Technology, Dr. Nguyen Thi Lan has participated in the provincial excellent teacher competition three times and won high prizes.

Team of female intellectuals leading and managing work in universities and colleges

At Vinh University, despite the large teaching load, female staff and lecturers are very active in participating in scientific research. In recent years, there have been 10 ministerial-level scientific research topics, many women have provincial-level topics and research articles published in prestigious specialized journals; 15 women hold positions from deputy head of department or higher, 2 women are party committee members...

The team of female intellectuals of Vinh University of Technology Education has 69 women, of which 1 woman holds the position of Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Vice Principal of the school; 4 women hold the position of Deputy Head of Department, 59 women have Master's degrees, 2 women have Doctoral degrees and 3 women are currently doing research... Dr. Hoang Minh Phuong - Vice Principal of the school said: "According to the university's regulations, the criteria for appointing management positions requires a degree. Studying to improve post-graduate qualifications is a challenge for women in terms of time, effort, money and especially arranging and managing family matters...".

Although the Party and State have had many policies on gender equality in all fields, in order for women, especially female intellectuals, to shoulder both the roles of "national affairs and family affairs", it is necessary to have the attention and sharing from the leaders at the department and school levels; the provincial mechanism and the support of colleagues.

At the meeting with female intellectuals, female leaders and managers working in universities and colleges in the province, jointly organized by the Women's Union, the Women's Union and the Provincial Labor Federation in early March 2012, the women expressed their wishes and desires. "We hope that leaders of agencies, levels and sectors will create favorable conditions in terms of time, financial support, and policies to promote, appoint and attract highly qualified female officials..." - Ms. Nguyen Thi Binh Minh, Deputy Head of the Faculty of Natural Sciences, Nghe An College of Education expressed. Ms. Nguyen Thi Hanh, Head of the Department of Diagnostic Imaging, Vinh University of Medicine, said: "Every year, the province needs to organize exchange activities, meetings to commend and honor female intellectuals who have made many contributions and achievements in management and scientific research to encourage and motivate women."

It can be affirmed that the team of female intellectuals in universities and colleges have made many contributions in each field of work, well implemented the movement "Good at public affairs, good at home affairs", and the campaign for civil servants and public employees "Loyal, creative, dedicated, exemplary", researching and applying scientific and technological advances to serve the socio-economic development requirements of the province. Through different activities, in many different forms and levels, the team of female intellectuals is truly a typical nucleus participating in implementing the strategic goals of the Party and State on Gender Equality.
