Military Technical Academy wants to reopen civilian system, train semiconductor chip industry

This afternoon, December 13, Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son and the delegation of the Ministry of Education and Training visited the Military Technical Academy. Also attending the meeting was Senior Lieutenant General Le Huy Vinh, Deputy Minister of National Defense .

During the meeting, the Military Technical Academy expressed its readiness to deploy civilian training for a number of technical majors, and at the same time prepare to train semiconductor chip design engineers.

According to Major General Le Minh Thai, Director of the Military Technical Academy , the academy currently organizes 51 long-term military engineering training programs in 15 majors, master's training with 28 majors in 17 majors, and doctoral training with 23 specialized training programs in 15 majors.

In addition, the academy has 9 civilian training majors, but has stopped enrolling in the civilian system since 2019. With the training goal of "officers - engineers - party members", graduates of the academy must meet 5 output standards: professional knowledge, foreign languages, IT skills, command capacity and military style, health and physical training.

Regarding the direction and key tasks in the coming time, the academy sets out 4 main tasks, emphasizing the need to do a good job of preparing and being ready to deploy civil training for technical majors associated with basic technology, the 4th industrial revolution and priority areas of the State and the military.

At the same time, the academy will also prepare in all aspects to be ready to deploy training of semiconductor chip design engineers when assigned by the State and the Ministry of National Defense, contributing to the construction and development of the semiconductor industry ecosystem according to the State's orientation; especially the research and design of semiconductor chips and security chips for modern weapons and equipment, serving national security and defense.

Major General Le Minh Thai proposed: "Currently, the Military Technical Academy has enough capacity in terms of lecturers and facilities to participate in training high-quality human resources in the semiconductor chip industry. Therefore, the academy respectfully requests the Ministry of Education and Training to pay attention and create conditions for the academy to carry out the task of training in the semiconductor chip industry."

Regarding the above proposal, Ms. Nguyen Thu Thuy, Director of the Department of HigherEducation (Ministry of Education and Training), said that not only training human resources for the semiconductor chip industry, the Military Technical Academy also has strengths in other fields that are currently given priority for training, such as artificial intelligence.

As for semiconductor chip training, a field in which Vietnam does not have strength, the Ministry of Education and Training believes that the Military Technical Academy is one of the best training units in the current stage in the entire system.

"We strongly support and will present to the Minister to include the Military Technical Academy in the list of core training units in the plan to train human resources for the semiconductor chip sector (this plan will be presented to the Prime Minister in the near future - PV)," said Ms. Thuy.

Minister Nguyen Kim Son also expressed his support for the plan to reopen the civilian system of the Military Technical Academy. According to the Minister of Education and Training, with the current strong team of the Military Technical Academy (1,153 lecturers, including 499 PhDs and doctors of science, 81 professors and associate professors), if only a very small number of human resources are trained to serve the military, the resources will not be fully utilized. Therefore, expanding the training quota for the civilian system will give teachers more motivation to strive, and this will bring new vitality to the training and research activities of the academy.
