In the report titled “Science and education policy in the integration period”, Prof. Vu Cao Dam – Chairman of the Science and Training Council, Institute of Policy and Management proposed 3 steps for reforming science and education in our country:
The report “Overview of Vietnam’s science, technology and education policies in the trend of international integration” by Prof. Nguyen Van Khanh – Director of the Institute of Management Policy, former Rector of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities said that some major trends of the world are changing such as: rapid transition to a knowledge-based economy; national innovation in the context of globalization; science, technology and education in the trend of economic globalization. In that process, Vietnam’s international integration is facing many major challenges such as state management; competitive pressure; economic growth coupled with hunger eradication and poverty reduction; international integration raises issues of protecting national security, preserving cultural identity; social differentiation; economic development requirements requiring high-quality human resources, etc.
Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Pham Dai Duong and Associate Professor, Dr. Dao Thanh Truong - Head of the Faculty of Management Science, Deputy Director of the Institute of Policy and Management (University of Social Sciences and Humanities) emphasized the weaknesses and existing problems as well as proposed some solutions for science, technology and innovation in Vietnam in the context of international integration. Some remaining problems in science, technology and innovation in Vietnam were mentioned such as: although the quality has been improved, the facilities are still lacking; the quality of research is not high; the system of science, technology, education and training services is still weak; the market for technology is not developed; enterprises almost do not have research and development departments; universities mostly focus on teaching, the quality of scientific research is not high. The two scientists proposed the need to re-establish the relationship between training - research - production, in which the role of stakeholders is effectively promoted and attention is paid to the issue of international integration.
