Heads and their deputies of member schools of the Ho Chi Minh City National University and other universities in the south are gathering in HCM City for a training course on tertiary school management.

The 12-day course which kicked off on Oct. 12 is jointly organised by the HCMC National University and the US Loyola Chicago University.

During two days in HCM City, participants and US professors will discuss issues relating to Vietnam’s universities and point out weaknesses in tertiary management in the Southeast Asian nation in order to research and come up with effective management models from elsewhere in the world.

The participants will spend 10 days in the US to learn management models that US universities have applied successfully in terms of strategy, finance, quality-control and personnel management.

Speaking at the opening, Director of the HCM National University Phan Thanh Binh stressed that the course aims to help university heads uncover problems in management and find solutions in order to build training programmes on tertiary management for universities nationwide./.
