Prof. Dr. People's Teacher Nguyen Van Khanh suggested that the Faculty of Literature continue to have innovative solutions and create breakthroughs for development.
To do that, the Principal Professor suggested that the Faculty focus on implementing the following key tasks:
For the Han Nom major - a particularly important and unique major of the Faculty and the School, the Faculty needs to invest more heavily in building staff, learning materials, expanding cooperative relationships to serve development, meeting the growing needs and interests of society and learners. For the Literature major, the Faculty needs to explore and open up new directions to expand the space and scope of activities of the Literature major, linking literary research with research and applications in the fields of culture and art. The Faculty of Literature must be the core force to build and develop the Center for Research and Application of Culture and Art of the School to become a strong research and training institute in the future; open new majors, necessary for society such as Cultural and Heritage Management, etc.
In addition, the Faculty needs to pay more attention to training and fostering a team of qualified and competent staff and lecturers to meet the requirements of high-quality and high-level training; to overcome the shortage of leading and successor staff.
In recent years, despite great efforts, the Faculty has not been able to fully exploit its potential in scientific research activities, as shown by the lack of research topics of great stature and scale. To solve this situation, the Faculty needs to proactively develop and participate in bidding for major research topics, programs, and projects, focusing on solving some urgent issues in literature, culture, and art that are currently being raised.
Finally, the Faculty needs to establish and expand cooperative relationships with domestic and foreign research institutions on literature, culture, Han Nom, art, etc. to turn external forces into internal forces to serve development.
Dr. Pham Xuan Thach - Head of the Faculty of Literature presented the Faculty's development strategy for the next 5 years.
On behalf of the new Executive Board, Dr. Pham Xuan Thach affirmed: deeply aware of the potential of the Faculty, the internal strength of the staff, on the basis of the consciousness of inheriting the traditions, strengths and achievements of the Faculty over the past nearly 60 years, the new Executive Board of the Faculty will take on the responsibility of managing the Faculty with the highest enthusiasm and sense of responsibility.
The development strategy of the Faculty of Literature in the next 5 years will focus on innovation in all aspects of operation on the basis of maintaining the stability of the Faculty and promoting the strength and potential of the staff.
Firstly, the Faculty will continue to add personnel to some departments, have plans to reasonably and effectively use existing staff resources, link personnel planning with standardizing the workload of teaching and scientific research reasonably, and have a plan to build a roadmap to standardize academic titles and degrees of staff.
