The event not only welcomed new members but also affirmed the School's policies and strategies in training, attracting and employing talents, building a team of high-quality, dedicated and internationally integrated staff and lecturers.
Attracting and utilizing talent - the key strategy for sustainable developmentSpeaking at the meeting, Prof. Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan emphasized: “
Humanities is not only a place to nurture knowledge and nurture personality, but also a place that creates the best conditions for each individual to promote their capacity, develop their career and assert themselves.During more than 80 years of tradition and 30 years of development, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities has always considered human resource development strategy as a key factor. The school has determined the goal of training and attracting scientific talents to form excellent leading experts, a community of excellent and dedicated lecturers, and a team of good managers, professional administrative staff, and high service spirit.
2024 is a breakthrough year in recruitment and attracting human resources, with 12 lecturers with PhD degrees, including 3 Associate Professors working at the school. Personnel of the units have been reviewed in general, quotas have been allocated, and recruitment priority has been given to difficult and specific positions. As of October 2025, the whole school has 507 staff and lecturers with 06 Professors, 57 Associate Professors, 280 Doctors, and 156 Masters.
Prof. Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan shared at the meeting with 40 newly recruited staff and lecturers working at the School.
The achievement of PhD qualifications has exceeded the set targets. The promulgation of Decree 50 has strongly impacted the decline in the number of lecturers with scientific titles. Recruitment has been accelerated but has not been able to supplement the number of highly qualified staff retiring en masse. Along with the drastic and close direction of the Party Committee, the participation of the government and trade unions, solutions and support policies have been issued and implemented. Therefore, despite difficulties due to mechanisms and policies, the School has succeeded in maintaining a quality teaching staff, among the highest in the country, with 20.4% of teachers holding the title of Professor, Associate Professor, 81% of teachers holding a PhD. The current staff development strategy has shifted from achieving academic qualifications to achieving academic titles in the period 2025 - 2030.
These figures demonstrate the school's long-term vision and strong determination in standardizing and improving the quality of its academic staff, moving towards building the University of Social Sciences and Humanities into a leading research and training center in the region.
High-quality human resources are the driving force for innovation and integration.Prof. Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan expressed his joy when the school continued to attract many teachers from universities and research institutes at home and abroad to work at the Faculty of Humanities. The principal affirmed that attracting human resources does not stop at numbers, but more importantly, it is to create the most favorable environment for each individual to develop their capacity, creativity and dedication.
In recent times, the school has invited and received more than 25 scientists and lecturers who have studied and worked abroad to return to teach. Many prestigious scholars have been collaborating closely with the school, contributing to spreading knowledge and raising the level of Vietnamese social sciences and humanities research to the world.
The principal affirmed:
“The school expects young staff to complete scientific research tasks on time, maintain professional standards, proactively integrate internationally and contribute to the school's common mission.”
Developing specific fields, promoting national missionsAs a unit with a long-standing scientific tradition, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities has a national mission in promoting Vietnamese archaeology and philology - a unique field of strategic significance in preserving and developing the country's culture.
Currently, the school is the only institution in Vietnam that simultaneously trains and conducts in-depth research in the fields of ancient studies, with key subjects such as Han Nom, Archaeology, Ethnology, Religious Studies, Cultural Studies, Philosophy, etc. Although there is still a lot of room for development, investment conditions are still limited, making the results not commensurate with the expectations of the Party and the State. Principal Hoang Anh Tuan emphasized that this is the time to have correct awareness and take more drastic actions to promote this unique strength.
The school is focusing on developing a team of experts in archaeology and philology in both specialized and interdisciplinary directions, linked to the national needs of cultural research and preservation, promoting research on Vietnamese history, culture and ancient knowledge in the context of global integration.
Dr. Ngo Thi Kieu Oanh introduced the organizational structure, development orientation as well as policies and regimes for staff and lecturers of the school.
