The core of educational philosophy
Comments on Vietnamese education in general and the development program of the University in particular, Prof. Phan Huu Dat - former Principal of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities - emphasized three issues: educational philosophy; building a staff team; and university democratization. According to Prof. Phan Huu Dat, on the issue of educational philosophy, the University needs to identify the central figure as the teacher, the teacher must be exemplary and the students must respect the teacher. And the most correct educational philosophy of that education is "an education of the people, by the people, for the people". Along with that, building a staff team is the core issue, the number 1 priority, so it is necessary to ensure the material and spiritual life of teachers. Emphasizing the issue of university democratization, Assoc. Prof. Nguyen Truong Lich said: the core is still the teacher and democratization in the university means that the decision-making power must be from the Faculty level to the Head of the Department. To do this, the Dean must not only be good at management but also good at professional and academic aspects.
Continuing to affirm the importance and position of educational philosophy in the current school, Associate Professor Do Van Khang suggested: in addition to the role of the teacher and the responsibility of the student, the school needs to pay attention to and encourage creative people, enroll those who surpass the threshold, constantly seek and create knowledge. Discussing the issue of innovation in Vietnamese education, Professor Ha Minh Duc emphasized the situation of university inflation, currently the number of universities is too much, the spontaneous tendency is getting stronger. Therefore, innovation in education means having discipline and rebuilding discipline. In addition, the professor also suggested that we need to pay more attention to the lives of the current teaching staff, this is not only a problem of the past but also the present and the future are still issues with many concerns and worries... On behalf of the school leadership, Professor Dr. Nguyen Van Khanh - Principal of the school - thanked the valuable contributions of professors and veteran teachers. And express deep gratitude to the veteran teachers who have been attached to the School, contributing to the construction and development of the School over the years. At the same time, the Principal expressed his hope that the veteran professors and teachers will continue to care, support and help the younger generations of staff to continue the tradition, continue to firmly build and develop the School.
