Rolling out 1 billion VND carpet to welcome Professor, Assoc
Prof. Dr. Do Duc Thai, Dean of the Department of Mathematics and Information Technology, Hanoi National University of Education, said that in Vietnam, there are two forms of gifted secondary schools, namely special schools at universities and special schools in provinces. The ultimate goal that Prime Minister Pham Van Dong set in 1966 when he founded Vietnam’s first special class was to build a team of highly qualified scientists for the country.

“If the professor teaches at a special school in this angle, that’s great. Can teach face to face or special lectures. For example, 2-3 lectures of Professor Ngo Bao Chau will be very effective because he understands how to train a top scientist. People like GS Chau will instill inspiration and confidence in students to strive to become great scientists of national and international level. Good managers can also teach in special secondary schools, said Professor Thai, taking the example of two special schools in Russia, where good managers often come to give lectures. It is also a school that has trained great scientists for Russia, including at least 2 Prizes in Mathematics.
In 2021, the People’s Council of Bac Ninh province passed a Resolution on “Prescribe a number of regimes and policies for Bac Ninh Middle School for the Gifted, 8 major secondary schools and remuneration for managers and experts. , teachers and students participate in fostering and training to take part in the national competition. Therefore, teachers with the rank of GS, Associate Professor or Doctor from outside Bac Ninh province who are accepted to teach at Bac Ninh High School for the Gifted and have a long-term commitment (at least 10 years) will receive financial support for their education 1 billion school worth Talking to reporter Tien Phong, Mr. Nguyen Nho Hoa, Principal of Bac Ninh College for the Gifted, said that currently, there are no professors and professors who return to school to work.
However, according to Professor Thai, it seems that this special school is now a place to practice to win national and international awards. “If you only look at the preparation of the exam, I believe that professors are not as good as teachers who teach directly. Because the professor doesn’t have any tips for taking the test,” said Professor Thai.
According to Professor Do Duc Thai, it is meaningless to train “racing chickens” to compete for national and international prizes for provinces and countries. Because he himself has also won international awards, was in charge of leading the national team to international competitions. Therefore, it cannot be set as the ultimate goal for evaluating and organizing special school activities. The Thai professor said that he had watched someone twice get a gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad, studied Mathematics but after completing his doctoral thesis, he drowned, and did nothing for Mathematics anymore.
However, a professor who works at Ho Chi Minh City University of Education said that a professor cannot become a permanent teacher in a high school. Since a professor’s job is to conduct research in a very narrow area of expertise, the general education requirements are completely different from the higher education requirements.
Special schools are just like high quality schools
Prof. Dr. Le Anh Vinh, Director of the Vietnam Institute of Educational Sciences, Ministry of Education and Training, admitted that bringing professors and associate professors to special schools currently faces many problems. According to him, in order to do this, Vietnamese special schools must go beyond the current “framework”, so it makes sense to bring professors and professors to new high schools for the gifted because today’s gifted schools are basically the same as high-quality secondary schools. The first problem is the arrangement of job positions. The 2019 Education Law stipulates that professors, assistant professors are the titles of teachers who teach and conduct scientific research at universities that meet the standards set by these universities.
Furthermore, at the time of salary in high school, professors submit degrees appointed by the university, while high schools are not authorized to appoint professors.
From the perspective of managing special schools at universities, Dr. Le Cong Loi, Chancellor of the High School for Talented Natural Science Students (University of Science, Vietnam National University, Hanoi), said: “The Prof. PGS degree is often more suitable for teaching at universities and tends towards scientific research. With the SMU in the provinces, I don’t think it will match the current reality because the tasks are simple, the development needs of special schools are not “close” to the tasks of professors or associate professors.
Speaking to reporters, Hoa Binh Education and Training Department Director Nguyen Thi Kim Tuyen said that this was only a draft submitted for public opinion. The aim of this policy is not only to train and teach special school students in the province, but also as a way to encourage teachers in schools to improve their professional qualifications. And a more important task, if there are professors and assistant professors, is to train school teachers and carry out scientific research tasks.
