In terms of nature, Vietnam is a country with high biodiversity, which is a favorable condition for developing a green economy. Digital transformation and green transformation combined will be an opportunity to promote sustainable development.

Socially, Vietnam is a country with a young, intelligent population with a eagerness to learn. With the qualities of Vietnamese people, accessing STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) is very convenient.

Through data connections and networks, research collaboration is also getting better and better; opportunities to access funding sources and advanced scientific knowledge; exploit the traditional culture of other countries to contribute to the development of education and directly apply it to actual production and management… In addition, Vietnamese universities have the opportunity to participate more into cooperative projects, better access to funding programs of the World Bank (WB), United Nations Development Program (UNDP), UNESCO and other organizations. Accordingly, opportunities also open up to participate and integrate with international associations and forums to learn from experience and improve position.

Third, with the rapid development trend of big data, artificial intelligence, automated industrial production, new materials, renewable energy… the labor structure according to new occupations appears and needs resources. With high-quality labor, schools have the opportunity to adapt and contribute to social development. The spirit of creativity and scientific entrepreneurship will also be a trend among young people. At that time, universities will participate in nurturing and developing talent.

Fourth, in the digital economy and technological society, businesses and universities will certainly aim for close cooperation. Universities focus on building a “foundation” of knowledge; spirit and will to innovate and especially create a digital culture foundation. Enterprises cooperate for practical training, and at the same time provide a practical environment for discovering problems, inventing inventions, and innovating. Domestic and foreign businesses will contribute to universities in investing in research, learning environment, and updating the needs of the labor market. When supply and demand meet, opportunities for each other increase, contributing to competition in an open market and promoting mutual development. Only scientific knowledge and cultural foundation can position businesses and people in a volatile world context.

Need a solid foundation from general education

To sustainably develop the country on the basis of balancing the three goals of economy, society and environment, the quality of university education must be really good to provide high quality human resources. To have good quality university education, the general education system needs to be built on a fundamental basis. To have a good general education system, there must be a force of professional teachers. And to achieve that, it is necessary to have a system of appropriate pedagogical universities, etc. Therefore, approaching the system to innovate education and training is a key issue in the current context.

First of all, it can be said that for undergraduate and graduate training to be truly quality, it is necessary to clarify the mission of higher education institutions, clearly distinguishing them from the vocational education system. When the direction is clear, the training program, the organization of teaching and research, and the implementation of assessment and measurement of quality will ensure consistency and aim for true quality.

Second, to have good, outstanding and elite quality of university training, the input quality of universities must be truly high. That also means that the general education system needs a fundamental and comprehensive transformation. The general education program has focused on developing capacity and qualities, but the current implementation process is not really unified.

High school teachers are people who have the ability to inspire students to access knowledge, practice skills, plan and choose careers…

And so, training at pedagogical schools will not be complete, but requires lifelong learning, learning along with teaching. Teachers need to participate in regular training courses to improve their professional capacity, pedagogical skills and ability to apply technology in teaching. This helps them not only do their current teaching job well but also adapt to new educational trends and requirements. High school teachers also need to exchange and study in international environments to expand their vision to innovate and improve the quality of teaching.

Facilities at pedagogical schools must be truly modern, including laboratory systems, high-tech learning equipment, and information technology infrastructure (computer rooms, educational software). Only then will students have a favorable learning environment and lecturers and teachers will have better conditions to apply new teaching methods; Research and develop technologies and teaching techniques to meet the requirements of educational innovation.

Libraries and learning materials must ensure the best, especially digital learning materials and open resources… to support students' self-study and research process. For pedagogical schools, providing up-to-date and in-depth learning materials is important to help future teachers grasp the latest educational trends.

There should be policies to support financial and working conditions for teachers in general and pedagogical university lecturers in particular. Obviously, the requirements for pedagogical lecturers must be really high, so it is necessary to have specific and attractive remuneration policies to attract talented people to work and contribute. First of all, it could be postgraduate training policies, investment in educational scientific research and specific allowances…

Fifth, it is necessary to invest in developing research thinking from high school to university. At both the high school level and students of pedagogical schools, it is necessary to promote the scientific research movement and encourage pupils and students to participate in creative research projects. This not only helps pupils and students practice critical thinking but also helps future teachers know how to stimulate and develop scientific thinking in students. The government and educational organizations need to increase financial support for educational research projects, especially those that apply technology to teaching and educational management. This is a very important field in the current digital transformation context.

Connections between universities, especially pedagogical schools, with businesses and social organizations, help students have opportunities to practice, learn practical experience and develop the necessary skills to meet their needs. meet the needs of the labor market. Pedagogical universities can cooperate with businesses in the field of technology education to develop digital education solutions and advanced educational technology products, helping to improve the quality of teaching and learning. practice.

Comprehensive investment in general education and training at pedagogical universities will create a solid foundation for the development of higher education. This not only improves the quality of human resources but also contributes to the sustainable development of the country in the context of globalization and the 4.0 industrial revolution.

In short, in the history of human society's development, historical records have also proven that when the country takes advantage of opportunities and operates according to the rules, it succeeds and vice versa. The digital era needs to apply the right principles and proactively go one step ahead by investing in the quality of human resources, that will be a fundamental choice. When investing in human resources, it is difficult to see immediate results in a day or two. Therefore, it is very necessary to be steadfast in goals, persistent in implementation and resolute in innovation… only then can we hope to realize the aspiration of a strong and prosperous nation in the new era.
