New Year's briefing: All policies will focus on investing in people

The University of Social Sciences and Humanities has closed 2021 by successfully completing most of the school year's plans and tasks with many bright spots: doing a good job of preventing the Covid-19 pandemic, completing the training and enrollment plan on schedule and according to the set targets, scientific activities are still well maintained and have some improvements... Although there are still many difficulties ahead, expectations for the School's innovation and breakthroughs in the coming school year have not decreased.

Principal Hoang Anh Tuan emphasized that in 2022, in addition to many other key tasks, epidemic prevention work must continue to be given attention, so as to both properly implement the policies of the city and VNU, and consider adapting to the specific circumstances of the school. With 500 staff and more than 8,000 students, students and trainees of all systems, epidemic prevention work always requires a specific plan, but also requires improvisation and flexibility, especially close coordination between functional departments with training units and with relevant external agencies. The school is determined to mobilize all material and spiritual resources to ensure the goal of epidemic prevention safety. This is a prerequisite for successfully completing the tasks of the school year.

To welcome students back to school this February, preparations not only need to be thorough and have a specific roadmap, but the information to learners also needs to be transparent and clear. Teachers need to promptly answer questions for students so that they can return to school with peace of mind. Online classes must still be implemented on schedule; the technology platform for online learning must still be guaranteed.

In February, the School will also hold a thematic conference to discuss the organization of an annual international scientific conference for PhD students and undergraduates. This annual scientific conference is expected to bring high scientific quality, be a forum for PhD students inside and outside the school to announce the latest research results and aim to publish international scientific proceedings.

Principal Hoang Anh Tuan also mentioned the major orientations that the School will pursue in the coming time to promote the creativity and capacity of the team; build a quality staff team, meeting the development requirements of the School in the new period. "All policies will focus on direct and high-level investment in people and staff. The resources invested in people will be very large but will also be very strict in terms of regulations". That is the issuance of a number of official documents related to support for international publications, scientific research, staff regulations, etc. The quantity and quality of the staff team will be oriented to be distributed and developed evenly in all training sectors/specializations, avoiding causing imbalances between basic science sectors and applied sectors.

In the context of gradually achieving university autonomy and financial autonomy, units in the school will have to be truly proactive and join hands in upgrading, innovating, and expanding training programs that are attractive to learners; innovating teaching methods and approaches to meet social needs; promoting quality assessment as a foundation for building technical and economic standards for training programs according to Decree 81/2021/ND-CP... Finally, to have such breakthroughs, it is necessary to have an open management and governance mechanism with standardized administrative management processes in all areas. The school's modern governance spirit must be promoted this year.

Concluding the meeting, Prof. Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan hoped that the above innovations would be successfully implemented on the basis of solidarity and consensus of the whole team; organizational stability and humanistic values ​​spread through all activities of the School.
