Dialogue between school leaders and students in the 2015 - 2016 school year

Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Kim believes that dialogue between the school's leaders and students will help the University of Social Sciences and Humanities become better and better.

Attending the ceremony were Ms. Nguyen Thi Tuyet - Department of Politics and Student Affairs, VNU; Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Kim - Party Committee Secretary, Vice Principal of the University; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Quang Minh - Deputy Party Committee Secretary, Vice Principal of the University; teachers who are leaders of departments of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities and VNU, and nearly 500 students who are Class - Youth Union - Association officers of classes and courses in the university.

Speaking at the dialogue, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Kim said the goal of the program: “Through today's dialogue, each student will understand more about their role, function, rights and responsibilities in the process of learning and self-cultivation to become a good student, for tomorrow's career.

I propose a truly open and democratic working spirit so that our learning conditions and environment can become better and better. Policies will be implemented more fully and seriously. Everyone will understand and implement those policies well.

This year's dialogue is different from previous years when the 500 students present today are class officers, Youth Union Secretaries, and Student Union Presidents. Representatives from all Youth Union organizations were present, representing nearly 6,000 full-time students who had questions for the departments in the school.

More than 500 delegates, including leaders of departments and students, who are officers of the Class - Youth Union - Association, attended the dialogue.

The dialogue was chaired by Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Kim; Dr. Nguyen Quang Lieu - Head of the Student Affairs Department; Dr. Tran Bach Hieu - Secretary of the School Youth Union. Some conclusions from the dialogue session last school year were also presented with 4 main points.

Firstly, the contents according to the conclusions of the school leaders in the dialogue with students in the 2014-2015 school year have been resolved by units inside and outside the school to certain degrees. In general, the best resolution of students' recommendations related to tasks such as student affairs, facilities, finance, etc.

Second, the content that students are most concerned about is school discipline, especially exam regulations and wearing student ID cards. After one year, the number of cases of violating exam regulations has decreased from 138 to 42. Wearing student ID cards has not been implemented well, especially for third and fourth year students.

Third, the facilities have been improved, such as lecture halls and environmental landscapes. However, the management of people entering and leaving is not good, and violations of the law occur in the AB and BC buildings. Many teachers do not wear badges when they go to class, and they do not implement good discipline such as managing students' study hours. One issue that most students are not really satisfied with is the service attitude of the parking staff that has not been improved.

Fourth, the coordination between departments in the school and units of VNU is quite good. However, students are not really satisfied with the library service, especially the space for readers, and the lack of reference materials.

After filtering and grouping the questions from students, 15 functional departments of the University took turns answering the questions from students. The Student Affairs Department, the Library Information Center, and the National Defense Education Center of VNU also enthusiastically answered the questions from students of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities.

MSc. Dinh Viet Hai answers students' questions for the Training Department

Among them, there are many answers that received great attention from students. Regarding the small, cramped classroom space, Master Dinh Viet Hai, on behalf of the Training Department, answered: “Regarding the classroom being too small, the Training Department determined that the desks and study space are small. Especially for students studying English, the feeling of being cramped is real. It is hot in the summer, and cramped in the winter.

This story keeps repeating itself. But the learning space is only that much, and the number of students in a class must also ensure the minimum standard of 30 students/class. We ourselves often have to adjust the class size to suit. The general policy is to try to minimize this situation. We will try to declare classes as 30 students."

Dr. Nguyen Quang Lieu, on behalf of the Student Affairs Department, explained the current situation of many strangers entering the school related to the issue of wearing badges: “Wearing badges for students is mandatory. Students going to class and entering the school campus must wear badges because recently students have reported that the school has not been able to do anything about the yard connecting AB and BC, there are many illegal activities because we cannot control outsiders. We do not know whether they are students of the school or not. Therefore, they must wear student badges when coming to school.”

Mr. Dang Ngoc Trai, representative of the Administrative-General Department, answered questions about the service attitude of the bus staff.

The service attitude of the parking staff is also a concern. Mr. Dang Ngoc Trai - General Administration Department clearly affirmed: "The school's parking lot is at the side gate of lane 336 Nguyen Trai. If there is a bad service attitude, please report it to room 401, building E. We promise to conduct an inspection and the next day will ask that staff to resign.

In fact, many students park their vehicles at the front gate under the management of the University of Natural Sciences. The school can only give advice to the security administration department and the parking lot there.
