Attending the seminar were Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Thi Minh Hoa - Vice Principal of the School and more than 60 female staff, members of the School's Trade Union Executive Committee and departmental trade unions.
At the seminar, Associate Professor, Dr. Le Thi Minh Loan, on behalf of the School's Trade Union Standing Committee, presented a summary report on women's activities in 2013 and a plan for women's work in 2014.
Some papers presented by female staff in the discussion were highly appreciated by delegates such as: "Scientific research among female lecturers and the issue of international publication" by Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Thi Kim Oanh (Faculty of Philosophy), "Female lecturers and the issue of advanced study to meet standards: Reality in the Faculty of Literature and some recommendations" by PhD student Nguyen Thi Nam Hoang (Faculty of Literature), "Female staff and civil servants with scientific research and advanced study to meet standards" (Dr. Pham Thu Hoa - Department of Postgraduate Training).
The presentations and opinions all focused on analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of female cadres in scientific research and advanced study to meet standards, especially the difficulties in completing the postgraduate program. The opinions all pointed out that female cadres in science and study often have more difficulties than men and need more support from their families and units.
In recent times, the Party, the State and the School have paid attention to and created favorable conditions in terms of time and material for cadres in general and female cadres in particular in studying to improve their qualifications, but in general, there has not been a breakthrough policy. Therefore, female cadres themselves need to set specific goals and strive to overcome all challenges to strive to successfully complete the tasks of research and study to improve their qualifications.
To create more favorable conditions for women to successfully complete their graduate program and help female staff quickly reach their qualifications, the discussion proposed to the School to apply some solutions specifically for female graduate students.
Speaking at the seminar, Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Thi Minh Hoa highly appreciated the activities of the School's Women's Union and the efforts of female staff in the past time. The Associate Professor believes and hopes that in the coming time, the team of female staff and civil servants of the School will continue to promote the achievements they have made, strive to excellently complete professional tasks as well as social activities, actively contributing to making the School a research university and quickly joining the ranks of advanced universities in the region and the world.
