Principal's congratulatory letter on Vietnamese Teachers' Day November 20

Dear:Dear Teachers and School Staff!

On the occasion of Vietnamese Teachers' Day November 20, on behalf of the Party Committee and Board of Directors of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU, I would like to send my deepest gratitude and warmest congratulations to all teachers, generations of staff, civil servants and employees of the school!

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced most of the University's activities to be carried out online over the past two years. However, teaching and learning activities have been ensured in both scale and quality (each semester has an average of 1,500 courses with about 55,000 learners), the University's students still graduate on time and ahead of schedule with high results, all enrollment targets have been met and exceeded, training programs continue to be quality-assessed, the social sciences sector of VNU was ranked 501-600 in the world for the first time by the Times Higher Education organization; the University's staff continue to effectively carry out training activities, scientific research, and community service; domestic and foreign partners continue to trust in scientific and educational cooperation...

To achieve the above encouraging results, in addition to the attention and guidance of Hanoi National University, the enthusiastic support of partners, is the dedication of the staff and students of the School. Overcoming all difficulties and challenges, the staff and civil servants of the School are demonstrating a dynamic, creative, innovative, integrated, and entrepreneurial Humanistic image; an image of modern Humanistic on a traditional foundation; an image of Humanistic that is both academic and scholarly with the style of Literature - General and integrated - entrepreneurial in the context of a rapidly changing labor market in the Fourth Industrial Revolution... The School's alumni today not only work in the fields of science - education, participate in the country's political and social fields, but also become successful businessmen in the fields of construction, technology, communications, digitalization... Those multidimensional projections firmly reinforce our belief in the School's "Breakthrough but still Humanistic" viewpoint in the coming years!

The 2021-2022 school year will still face many difficulties due to the complicated developments of the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition to ensuring the safety of staff and students to successfully complete the school year's plans and tasks, the School has identified a number of key tasks for the new school year and the coming months: Breakthrough in developing the scientific staff; Diversifying scientific research topics, increasing the group of topics associated with internationally published products to support the development of staff who need to complete their academic titles; Innovating training work in the direction of increasing investment in elite training for traditional basic science fields, expanding the scope for fields with application and high demand from learners, restructuring postgraduate training majors; Optimizing space and modernizing facilities at Thuong Dinh campus, working with VNU to implement the project of building the school's facilities in Hoa Lac, enhancing digital transformation in training and research, moving towards successfully building a modern digital management system in the school; Diversifying revenue sources - ensuring reasonable and regulated expenditure sources, according to the viewpoint of prioritizing strong and direct investment in staff to create a breakthrough in scientific human resources in the coming years; Overcoming all obstacles, stabilizing and improving the material and spiritual life of all staff of the school.

To achieve the above specific goals, the unity, solidarity, agreement and consensus of the school's staff play a decisive role. I hope that the teachers will continue to join hands to contribute to the school's continued innovation, integration and development.

Once again, I wish all teachers and their families good health, happiness and success!
