Incentive policies from Resolution No. 71-NQ/TW create momentum for higher education

GD&TĐ - Resolution No. 71-NQ/TW is expected to be an important boost for higher education institutions to grow.

Expectation of comprehensive innovation

Resolution No. 71-NQ/TW of the Politburo on breakthroughs in education development has set out many important strategic directions.
Notably, preferential policies for educational institutions and comprehensive investment incentives for educational development are considered a boost for higher education institutions to grow and become a key driving force in developing high-quality human resources and the national innovation ecosystem.

One of the key contents of Resolution 71 is to invest in modernizing technical infrastructure and expanding development space for universities to operate effectively.
Through synchronous and in-depth investment in facilities, laboratory equipment, and research centers, a sustainable foundation for teaching, research, and knowledge transfer is created.

Groundbreaking ceremony of Thai Nguyen University construction investment project step III phase 2021 - 2025.

According to Dr. Pham Thi Tuan Linh - Lecturer of the International Faculty (Thai Nguyen University): "The investment strategy to modernize technical infrastructure for higher education institutions is a breakthrough for schools to effectively perform their tasks, contributing to improving the quality of human resources for the economic and social development of the locality and the whole country."

Upgrading and expanding infrastructure not only serves learners, but also creates a favorable environment for lecturers to promote their professional capacity and improve the effectiveness of scientific research.
Dr. Linh emphasized: "This will certainly be a 'push' to create a strong change in thinking and action throughout the entire university education system."

Incentive policies contribute to motivation

A highlight of Resolution 71 is that there are specific mechanisms to develop 3 to 5 elite universities, following the model of international-class research universities, thereby training national talents.

Notably, the resolution also sets out the priority of allocating the state budget to education, especially postgraduate training programs, basic research and training of highly skilled human resources in engineering, technology, and key, strategic areas.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Thanh Long - Head of the Department of Science, Technology and International Cooperation, University of Industrial Technology (Thai Nguyen University) commented: “Investment in technical and technological fields and serving national programs is necessary. However, it is important that preferential policies must be accompanied by synchronization of technical infrastructure and technology transfer, while creating favorable conditions for human resources and output for research products.”

The equipment system at the University of Industrial Technology is invested with attention.

In addition to resources from the state budget, Resolution 71 also encourages State-School-Enterprise cooperation to create a close coordination mechanism and mobilize social resources for the development of higher education.

This model is not new, but with a clear, transparent and effective incentive mechanism, it will open up opportunities for educational institutions to attract more investment resources from the private sector and domestic and foreign enterprises.

Encouraging the planning and construction of university and high-tech urban areas is also a highlight, creating a space for educational development associated with innovation, startups and applied research. Universities will become centers of knowledge, technology and innovation for each region and locality.

Building excellent research centers, modern laboratories, financial mechanisms, scholarships, professional support regimes, etc. will open up a wider space for professional development for teachers.

“Preferential policies are not only about material benefits but also about an academic development environment, modern working conditions, learning opportunities and capacity building. When lecturers are properly invested, they will have more motivation to be creative, contribute and improve the quality of university education.” – Dr. Pham Thi Tuan Linh affirmed.

However, for preferential policies to be truly effective, there needs to be a systematic and transparent implementation roadmap, linked to quality assessment criteria and strict monitoring. Investment resources need to be allocated based on the performance, readiness and capacity of each higher education institution.

With specific, practical and synchronous preferential policies, along with efforts from educational institutions themselves, the expectation of a modern, integrated, quality and sustainable university education is getting closer.
