On the morning of November 14, UEF held a Conference on the Review of Quality Assurance Activities for the 2020 - 2025 Period and Strategic Directions for 2026 - 2030. The event provided an opportunity for the University to reflect on its 5-year journey of developing and strengthening its education quality assurance system in alignment with national standards while progressively approaching international benchmarks. It also served as a platform to define key goals for the upcoming phase.

The conference was attended by members of the Board of Directors, the Board of Presidents, as well as leaders, faculty, and staff responsible for quality assurance across various units of the University. Representing Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HUTECH) were Dr. Do Thi Hoai Van - Director of the Center of Accreditation and Quality Assurance; Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Phuong, M.A. - Deputy Director; and Ms. Van Thi Thanh Tuyen, M.A. - Deputy Director of the same Center.

The Conference on the Review of Quality Assurance Activities for the 2020 - 2025 period provides a foundation for UEF to continue achieving higher goals.

Over the past 5 years, UEF’s quality assurance efforts have achieved significant progress. These outcomes not only reflect the sustained commitment of units across the University but also reaffirm its determination to build a quality culture that is learner-centered and oriented toward sustainable development.

Delivering the opening remarks and outlining the vision and strategic directions for UEF’s quality assurance efforts in the coming years, Dr. Kieu Xuan Hung, Chairman of the Board of Directors, stated: “Quality assurance is a major area of work in a university and a prerequisite for evaluating quality. In the past 5 years, all necessary and assigned tasks have been fully completed and effectively carried out by the Office of Quality Assurance in collaboration with the units. Quality assurance must be ‘translated’ into improving the quality of UEF’s operations, enhancing the quality of training services and student support services, and strengthening management quality; these are the deeper goals we aim for. Throughout this period, each phase has had different goals and tasks, and we have achieved at least the set targets; it is expected that in the new phase, we will reach higher goals. In addition, digital transformation in education is highly important, and quality assurance also needs to be digitized. During this period, many fundamental foundations have been established and a relatively complete system has been developed; in the next phase, higher targets will be set, with more professional and more comprehensive operations, aligned with international orientations to enhance the brand and standards, thereby affirming the University’s position”.

Dr. Kieu Xuan Hung, Chairman of the Board of Directors delivered the opening address at the conference.

Dr. Kieu Xuan Hung also expressed his sincere appreciation to faculty members for their significant time and efforts in advancing UEF’s quality assurance work and achieving notable accomplishments. These achievements provide a solid foundation for UEF to further excel in quality assurance and reach new heights in the coming phase.

At the conference, UEF’s quality assurance activities over the past 5 years were reviewed across the following areas: internal quality assurance, stakeholder surveys, educational quality accreditation, quality assessment under QS Stars, quality improvement and dissemination of quality culture, and international cooperation and integration.

Faculty members also looked back on the 5-year journey of building and developing UEF’s educational quality assurance system.

Through sustained efforts and a clear development strategy, UEF has achieved breakthrough progress, proactively promoting international integration in quality assurance, and gradually translating its commitments into concrete and commendable outcomes.

In UEF’s quality assurance work, the units play an indispensable role by contributing to the University’s overall development. The conference also served as a platform for units to connect and share experiences in implementing quality assurance and accreditation activities. Accordingly, Dr. Ha Thi Thuy, Dean of the Faculty of Finance and Accounting, and MSc. Huynh Tu Anh, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Marketing, shared their units’ experiences in carrying out quality assurance and accreditation activities for collective development.

From the existing foundation and by incorporating new trends, the University also set out directions for the development of quality assurance activities for the 2026–2030 period with multiple objectives, based on the collective’s objective contributions.
