Vietnam has its second female mathematics professor.

Speaking to Dan Tri reporter, Minister of Education and Training Pham Vu Luan said: The State Council of Professor Titles has met and decided to add 52 professors and 472 associate professors.

It is noteworthy that Vietnam has officially had its second female professor of Mathematics after Professor Hoang Xuan Sinh.

According to the Council's assessment, this year's quality is better than last year, with better international articles and foreign language proficiency, and younger age groups.

Minister Pham Vu Luan added: Associate Professor Dr. Le Thi Thanh Nhan - Vice Principal of the University of Science - Thai Nguyen University was awarded the title of Professor by the State Council of Professors after careful consideration and evaluation. The professors and associate professors awarded in 2015 were mainly at higher education institutions and research institutes; the number of visiting lecturers outside has decreased significantly.
