There must be specific outputs for each school.

At the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Le Tien Chau stated that higher education in the capital city must play a leading role in training high-quality human resources, nurturing talent, and serving key sectors and fields of the capital and the country.

The Deputy Prime Minister requested that the project clarify current baseline data, redefine the gap with the target, and outline the annual roadmap to 2030. Based on this, specific targets, tasks, solutions, and outputs should be set for each school, and an implementation roadmap should be developed for each year.

Regarding the group of 12 leading higher education institutions, the Deputy Prime Minister requested a unified principle of focused and targeted investment, avoiding a scattered approach. The Ministry of Education and Training must ensure that the selection process is open, transparent, and well-founded.

However, it is also necessary to study and clearly classify: which institutions aim for overall university rankings, which aim for rankings by field, and which serve as centers for elite training, research, or innovation. Simultaneously, research should be conducted to establish mechanisms for periodic evaluation, supplementation, adjustment, or removal from the leading group if they do not meet the requirements.

Regarding elite training and strategic technology, according to the Deputy Prime Minister, the plan needs to shift strongly from an investment mindset focused on "schools" to one based on "problems": national problems, capital city problems, business problems, defense and security problems... Areas to focus on include semiconductors, artificial intelligence (AI), big data, quantum computing, new materials, biotechnology, modern railways, smart cities, and dual-use technologies.

Notably, AI needs to be approached simultaneously as a strategic training field and as a tool for innovation in university governance, teaching, research, assessment, open educational resources, and personalized learning. Therefore, the Deputy Prime Minister suggested adding a provision that the 12 selected training institutions must be leading and pioneering in the application of AI in training and scientific research.
