Associate Professor, Dr. Do Van Khang recounted the memory of meeting Uncle Ho at the Presidential Palace; Ms. Nguyen Anh Tho shared her memories of Hanoi, the moment she heard the news of Uncle Ho's death; Mr. Nguyen Khanh Hung analyzed Ho Chi Minh from the perspective of a sociologist; Mr. Nguyen Trong Thao shared his thoughts and feelings about Uncle Ho during his military service and fighting... The private sharing of the teachers was very touching, thereby reminding us of a generation of students - young intellectuals who lived and studied following the example of Uncle Ho, living and studying for the ideal of independence and national liberation.
Other opinions were based on the teachers' own research on the life and career of President Ho Chi Minh, thereby once again affirming his intelligence, vision and great cultural personality. From their feelings for Uncle Ho and for the thousand-year-old Hanoi, the teachers also shared their thoughts on current university education and training. Opinions at the discussion said that university education today needs to further promote its role in training workers with good qualities, solid knowledge, creative thinking and professional working skills. Learning must go hand in hand with practice, learners must know how to apply knowledge to real life, have the ideal of serving the country and society. That is the important goal of current training.
