In his opening speech, Principal Hoang Anh Tuan thanked Thang Long Education Quality Assurance Center for accompanying the School in the work of accreditation and improvement, enhancing the quality of training to meet the requirements of society. While preparing the self-assessment documents and evidence of the 04 training programs, the Faculties and related departments have also made efforts, but certainly there will be some incomplete and unscientific places. The School looks forward to receiving specific comments from teachers in the Assessment Team so that the departments can continue to improve.
Principal Hoang Anh Tuan delivered the opening speech
Dr. Nguyen Thi Kim Phung: The Center thanks the school for trusting and choosing the Center to continue to be a companion in the accreditation activities, improving the quality of training programs. The content and objectives of the preliminary survey are that the Evaluation Team will make specific requests and recommendations for the school to review the supporting documents of the accredited training programs this time. The time from now until the official survey is about 1 week, so we hope that the school as well as teachers in the Faculties will focus human resources and resources on the accreditation work, completing the most complete supporting documents so that the official survey will be conducted quickly and achieve high results.
