The Government approved the Project on training human resources to serve high-tech development.

Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long has just signed a decision approving the Project on training human resources to serve high-tech development in the 2025-2035 period and orientation to 2045.

The government will strengthen investment policies for STEM education .

The general objective is to prepare human resources in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) with high professional and technical qualifications to meet the needs of expanding investment in developing high-tech fields; create national competitive advantages in attracting investment from large technology corporations in the world, contributing to the economic restructuring and sustainable development of the country in the new era.

The specific goal by 2030 is to rapidly increase the scale of high-level training in STEM fields, especially basic sciences and fields related to digital technology, artificial intelligence and biotechnology. The proportion of people studying STEM fields will reach 35% at each training level, of which at least 2.5% will be in basic sciences and 18% will be in fields related to digital technology.

The number of people graduating from training programs on information and communication technology reaches 80,000 people/year, of which at least 10% are awarded engineering, master's or doctoral degrees. The number of people graduating from specialized training programs on artificial intelligence reaches 8,000 people/year, of which at least 20% are awarded engineering, master's or doctoral degrees; 100% of bachelor's, engineer's and master's training programs in STEM fields are integrated with knowledge and skills in data analysis and artificial intelligence...

This target for the 2030-2035 period continues to be raised. By 2045, high-quality, highly skilled STEM human resources will become Vietnam's core competitive advantage in attracting investment in high-tech fields, especially strategic technology fields.

Vietnam's higher education system is ranked among the top in Asia in training and research in STEM fields, especially in digital technology, artificial intelligence and biotechnology.

To achieve the set goals, the decision clearly states 6 groups of tasks and solutions, the top of which is to strengthen investment policies for STEM education and provide financial support for STEM students; study and amend regulations on preferential credit for students in the direction of expanding the subjects and conditions for loans, reducing interest rates, increasing loan amounts and repayment terms, and providing special incentives for STEM students.

The Government will also implement talent training programs linked to scientific research and technology development, deploy 100 programs to train talented engineers and masters and 100 programs to train talented PhDs in STEM fields linked to the development of strong research groups in priority strategic and high-tech technology fields...
