That is the notable content in the draft Resolution of the National Assembly on a number of specific mechanisms and policies to make breakthroughs in education and training development, announced by the Ministry of Education and Training to collect public opinions.

Proposal to have 3 more university management departments

According to the draft, continue to arrange and restructure public universities and vocational education institutions (except those under the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of National Defense) in the direction of reducing focal points, linking professional management with organization, personnel, and finance; eliminate intermediate levels, ensuring streamlining and efficiency.

The Ministry of Education and Training directly manages key universities and colleges, while ensuring comprehensive autonomy in organization, personnel, and academics for higher education institutions, regardless of the level of financial autonomy.

Assign the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to manage a number of specialized and specific facilities. At the same time, transfer the remaining facilities to localities in line with the need for local human resource development; research on merging research institutes with university education facilities, ensuring a unified and modern system.

According to the Ministry of Education and Training, it is appropriate for the Ministry of Education and Training to be the focal point for managing key universities and higher education institutions; for the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to manage specialized specialized schools; and for localities to manage the remaining higher education institutions, ensuring proper implementation of the Party's guidelines and policies.

The above content of the draft has new points compared to current regulations. Currently, higher education and vocational education institutions are under the management of many ministries, branches and provincial People's Committees; they are being identified as public service units under the direct management agency with the authority to establish. According to the Law on Higher Education 2012 (amended and supplemented in 2018), the Ministry of Education and Training is the state management agency in the field of education and training, including higher education. Higher education institutions (including key institutions) are under the general management of the Ministry of Education and Training and other competent agencies.

According to the draft Resolution of the National Assembly on a number of specific mechanisms and policies to make breakthroughs in education and training development, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is proposed to manage a number of specialized and specific facilities.
