Vice President of VNU Nguyen Hoang Hai and Head of Training Department Nguyen Dinh Duc chaired the conference.
VNU organizes the a+b training model with the aim of not only helping each training unit participating in the combined - successive model to improve training quality, supplement the weak resources of its unit, maximize the shared resources in VNU, save resources and time, but also help the overall system to connect and link between training units in VNU to develop strongly.
Currently, the training programs following the a+b model of the University of Education and the University of Medicine and Pharmacy are all applied according to the regulations in Decision 3079 issued specifically by VNU (which clearly stipulates the mechanism for student management; lecturer coordination; financial management for units implementing this model).
Among the training units participating in the a+b model, the University of Natural Sciences and the University of Social Sciences and Humanities are units with extensive experience in teaching basic science subjects with a large, high-quality and dedicated teaching staff. According to this model, first-year students of the University of Education study with leading professors of the University of Natural Sciences and the University of Social Sciences and Humanities; first-year students of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy study with leading professors in modern laboratories of the University of Natural Sciences.
In addition, the successful training organization and management model of VNU also has the coordination and support of specialized units in teaching activities such as the University of Foreign Languages (with foreign language subjects), the University of Economics and the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (with political theory subjects), the Center for National Defense and Security Education, the Center for Physical Education and Sports. Thanks to the promotion of the shared resource model and the a+b model, clearly demonstrated through the quality of training in the fields of pedagogy and health, there has been a rapid development of 2 young faculties established later: the Faculty of Pedagogy (in 1999), later the University of Education (since 2009) and the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy (in 2010), later the University of Medicine and Pharmacy (since 2020).
Principal of the University of Education, VNU Nguyen Quy Thanh shares the a+b training model
At the conference, delegates raised the current advantages and difficulties when implementing the a+b model at the unit to exchange, discuss and propose synchronous solutions on appropriate management and financial mechanisms.
Representative of University of Science, Vice Principal Tran Quoc Binh spoke at the conference
Delegates attending the conference all agreed that VNU needs to continue to promote and develop, improve the quality and effectiveness of the a+b model. This is a pioneering and unique training model of VNU, demonstrating the connection and exploitation of the strengths of interconnection and connection between member units and the strengths of the VNU - "One-VNU" model, thereby improving the quality of training and research, helping graduates have a solid general knowledge foundation of a multidisciplinary and multi-field university.
Representative of University of Medicine and Pharmacy shares the advantages when students are trained according to the a+b model
The delegates made many proposals to unify the development of this program such as: continuing to assign the degree-granting unit to manage the training program and manage students immediately after completing the enrollment work; coordination between the Training Departments & Student Political Affairs Departments of the affiliated units in managing student data, arranging timetables. VNU coordinates by managing synchronous training software, directing and coordinating human resources, finance, shared facilities and close coordination between the training program management unit.
Deputy Head of Training Department, Vo Thi Minh Trang reported on the success of VNU in implementing the a+b model.
Previously, in the introductory report of the Training Department of VNU, it was stated that: VNU has built strict training regulations, integrated with international standards, perfected the form of credit-based training, built programs according to subject modules; issued regulations on training according to the a+b model; training associated with research and individualization through research groups; built regulations and policies on training talents, high quality, pilot training programs - all of which are unique training models of VNU - always taking the criteria of training quality, linking training with research and practice, and the employability of students as the top criteria.
Up to now, the implementation of the a+b training model at VNU has been adjusted several times to suit practical conditions, but the consistent philosophy is still to organize training with the combination of member units and affiliated units of VNU to fully exploit the advantages of human resources, facilities and maximize the strengths of each unit with the viewpoint of "One VNU".
Concluding the workshop, Vice President of VNU Nguyen Hoang Hai requested that relevant units when implementing the a+b model need to fully realize the sense of responsibility in cooperation, coordination and good implementation of regulations on a+b training, for the common benefit of VNU according to the "One VNU" model and closely follow the vision and mission of their units so that both units a and b can develop and grow together.
The Vice President also requested the universities: Natural Sciences, Social Sciences and Humanities, Medicine, Education to organize a summary, with the participation of relevant units, to evaluate the advantages and difficulties in the process of implementing the a+b model, specifically review and report to VNU; the Personnel Organization Department reviews and reports on human resources, the Financial Planning Department reports on revenue, expenditure and financial sources for the a+b model so that VNU leaders can make appropriate decisions and adjustments.
In the near future, the a+b training model will be completed and continued to be replicated in many fields throughout VNU.
