With the strong and close direction of the Board of Directors, the close coordination of functional departments and the support and participation from training units, the program has initially succeeded in concretizing the school's training cooperation activities.

Regarding the work of quality assessment and university ranking, Associate Professor, Dr. Dang Thi Thu Huong emphasized: We have pioneered the work of assessing training programs and achieved very good results. However, university ranking is much more difficult, requiring attention and investment from the leaders and teaching staff of training units. In particular, some majors such as: Language, Social Work, Political Science, Journalism, Public Relations, etc. have approached international rankings and need to quickly complete and improve some criteria to be ranked.
Vice Principal Dang Thi Thu Huong emphasized a number of key tasks in training, enrollment, and quality assessment that need to be focused on and completed in July.
Based on listening to the opinions exchanged from Vice Principals, representatives of functional departments and training units, Principal Hoang Anh Tuan concluded:
