Can Tho University branch officially established in Soc Trang

Soc Trang provincial leaders hand over facilities to Can Tho University.

According to the decision, Can Tho University is responsible for reporting to the Ministry of Education and Training on the conditions to ensure educational quality to allow the school's branch in Soc Trang to carry out training activities in accordance with the provisions of law.

Previously, on October 10, 2024, the People's Committee of Soc Trang province held a temporary handover ceremony of facilities of Area A and Area B of Soc Trang Provincial Community College to Can Tho University to establish a branch in this province.

Mr. Tran Van Lau - Chairman of the People's Committee of Soc Trang province, said that education and training work is always prioritized in the province's socio-economic development programs and plans. The Soc Trang Provincial Party Committee has issued an action program to implement the Central Resolution on human resource development in Soc Trang for the period 2021 - 2025, with a vision to 2030.

In addition, along with socio-economic development, the demand for university and postgraduate education of students, people, officials, civil servants and public employees in the province is increasing. In the 2023-2024 school year alone, the province has 10,000 high school graduates; in the 2024-2025 school year, there will be over 11,000 12th graders.

The biggest difficulty of Soc Trang is that there is no university-level training facility to train highly qualified human resources; there are very few cadres, civil servants and public employees with high professional qualifications (postgraduate) in many fields.

Meanwhile, Soc Trang has a great need for high-quality human resources to serve Tran De deep-water port, logistics zones, industrial zones and clusters, and to shift the labor structure to gradually meet the requirements of the industrial revolution. Therefore, the establishment of Can Tho University branch in the province will contribute significantly to meeting this urgent requirement of the province.

Based on the above, Soc Trang province and Can Tho University have agreed on the need to establish a branch of the university in Soc Trang province. The goal is to solve the need for on-site learning, shorten the travel distance for students, people and officials, civil servants and public employees. Thereby, it also creates conditions for students after graduating from high school to have more opportunities to study at university, contributing to increasing the proportion of highly qualified resources for the province.

According to the plan, when it comes into operation, the Can Tho University branch in Soc Trang will train masters in the following majors: Information Technology, Agricultural Systems (majoring in climate change and sustainable tropical agriculture); Crop Science (majoring in smart agricultural engineering).

In the 2025 school year, the branch is expected to provide full-time university training with 3 majors: Accounting, Law, Logistics and Supply Chain Management.
