Vietnam, Europe strengthen higher education cooperation
Vietnamese students should equip themselves with IT skills in a bid to effectively engage in international integration, delegates suggested at the Vietnam-Europe Higher Education Forum in Hanoi on November 3.
The Vietnam-Europe Higher Education Forum, which was jointly held by the Ministry of Education and Training and the European Delegation to Vietnam in Hanoi on November 3, was attended by representatives of about 80 domestic and foreign education institutions, embassies and international organisations.
Addressing the event, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Bui Van Ga said many European countries have granted scholarships to Vietnamese postgraduates in the recent years. The Vietnamese Government has also sent students overseas through projects, he added.
However, the official said, educational cooperation between Vietnam and the European nations has not yet matched their potential.
The forum aims to help universities, educational managers and scientific researchers study opportunities for bilateral and multilateral educational cooperation, thus developing joint projects and programmes, and reaching agreements, the deputy minister said.
Tom Corrie from the EU Delegation to Vietnam said the European nations are helping leading Vietnamese universities implement 18 projects in such areas as energy and agriculture.
The EU has also assisted other ASEAN member countries in enhancing higher education management, he added.
The European countries provided 28 scholarships to Vietnamese students in 2016, Tom Corrie said, adding that close to 50,000 Vietnamese students are studying abroad with around 15,000 in Europe.
The official expressed his hope that the figure would increase in the future.
Delegates at the forum suggested Vietnam improve English language skills for local students, helping them access scholarships offered by foreign universities.
Vietnam should improve the quality of training and scientific research in order to attract more foreign universities to invest in, they added.
In addition, Vietnamese students should equip themselves with IT skills in a bid to effectively engage in international integration, according to the delegates.
The Hanoi University of Science and Technology will organise an exhibition on European higher education on November 4 with the participation of 22 international educational organisations.
