Looking back at the challenges when more than half of the University's training majors are basic science majors (majors that were once the pride of many generations but have now turned into competitively disadvantaged majors), Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Kim Son shared: This is a challenging and difficult period, with many issues that were unprecedented in the previous period, not yet raised or resolved, requiring the University to unite, focus, and accelerate in its development orientation.

"Only by developing can we survive, and to do that, the school needs to restructure and rearrange the majors to increase their competitiveness," Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Kim Son emphasized.

In addition, the School needs to find capital sources to invest in order to increase development resources. Such as building learning facilities, learning spaces, research, and practical training for students.
