Deputy Miniter Le Tan Dung speaks at the siminar

Appreciating the support from the UK over the past time, directly from the British Council in support activities on TVET, Deputy Minister Le Tan Dung welcomed the proposal to develop and sign a Government-level Memorandum of Understanding on GDNN. In particular, in the context of the development of TVET is one of the key areas for human resource development in Vietnam.

Deputy Minister Le Tan Dung said that the proposals stated in the draft MOU in the field of TVET between the two Governments are completely consistent with the orientation and priorities for the development of TVET in Vietnam.

Responding to Mr. Steve Smith's question about proposing activities that the UK could support and promote the development of TVET in Vietnam, Deputy Minister Le Tan Dung shared that in Vietnam, TVET is often underestimated compared to other countries with other educational programs. Vietnam's social psychology in general still attaches importance to degrees, not properly assessing the importance of TVET; The work of career guidance and streamlining of students after high school graduation has not been really effective and has not entered social awareness. Therefore, the enrollment rate in TVET institutions is still low compared to higher education.


“Currently, the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs is developing and submitting to the Government for approval the Vocational Education Development Strategy for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2045, focusing on synchronously implementing 9 solutions. In which, the solution focuses on perfecting and improving the quality of institutions, renovating mechanisms and policies for TVET development; promote linkage of TVET with enterprises and the labor market; strengthening the conditions to ensure the quality of vocational education is the key solution in the coming time”, emphasized Deputy Minister Le Tan Dung.

In addition, according to Deputy Minister Le Tan Dung, strengthening cooperation on issues related to quality assurance and quality accreditation of TVET is also the content that the two sides need to promote cooperation in the coming time, because the UK is one of the countries with the strength of the education and training quality assurance system.

The Deputy Minister hopes and believes that the Memorandum of Understanding between the Governments of the two countries will be the basis and premise for promoting cooperation between the two sides in the field of TVET.

At the seminar, the two sides agreed to establish a Working Group at the technical level to develop a cooperation plan and supervise the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding after the signing. At the same time, the Working Group regularly discusses and communicates (through different forms: email, online meeting, face-to-face meeting...) to effectively implement the Memorandum of Understanding after signing and in a timely manner. advise leaders of the two sides to propose appropriate activities and remove difficulties in the implementation process.
