Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ha Thi Thu Thuy, Director of the Institute of Social Sciences and Humanities in the Mountainous Region under the Thai Nguyen University of Education, who is a Tay Ethnic participant shared: “I feel very fortunate to have participated in this training course. This is an opportunity for Ethnic Minority members like me to learn from international experiences, especially from Australia’s experience in higher education governance and management.
Upon completion of this course, I will apply the knowledge and skills learned to participate in the development of the University’s strategic plan for the period of 2021-2025. I will continue my research and community work to serve the community, especially to support the Ethnic Minority communities in a sustainable and inclusive way.”
The training course is focused on the introduction of international and Australian experience in university governance and management in the context of autonomy; advising leaders and managers on the development of strategy for the university development for the period of 2021-2025.
After the training, the participants will engage in the development of University’s strategic planning for the period 2021-2025, and will recommend change and improvement to the Thai Nguyen University of Education.
This AAGF-funded project will promote development cooperation with Australian universities, thereby creating a university governance model for the Thai Nguyen University of Education on its way towards autonomy.
