Accordingly, the Ministry will reorganize by merging the College of Economics and Trade and the Hanoi College of Industrial Economics into universities under the Ministry.

Specifically, merge the College of Economics and Trade into the University of Electricity; merge the Hanoi College of Industrial Economics into Sao Do University.

According to this plan, the University of Electricity and Sao Do University will continue to thoroughly implement the Government's resolutions regulating the establishment, reorganization, and dissolution of public service units. In addition, continue to thoroughly implement the plan to reorganize public service units under the Ministry of Industry and Trade in 2024-2025 and the Ministry of Industry and Trade's instructions on the organization and reorganization of training institutions, research institutes, and colleges under the Ministry of Industry and Trade to all cadres, party members, civil servants, and employees of the school...

The Ministry of Industry and Trade assigns the functional departments and bureaus under the Ministry and the public service units under the Ministry to carry out the assigned tasks regarding the organization and arrangement of public service units under the Ministry of Industry and Trade in 2024-2025. In particular, the Department of Personnel Organization is assigned to continue to carry out the assigned tasks; Take the lead in coordinating with the functional departments and bureaus under the Ministry and schools to organize, direct and guide schools to develop merger projects, report, submit to the Ministry's leaders for consideration, and report to competent authorities for approval.

Change from the plan to merge colleges into colleges

The Ministry of Industry and Trade is known as the ministry with the most universities and colleges among the current ministries. Before the restructuring, among the ministry's public service units, there were 33 universities and colleges (9 universities and 24 colleges).

According to the proposed plan to reorganize the Ministry of Industry and Trade's apparatus sent to the Ministry of Home Affairs earlier this year, the Ministry of Industry and Trade plans to reorganize two institutes into two universities. Specifically, the Institute for Research, Design and Manufacturing of Agricultural Machinery will be merged into the Vietnam-Hungary University of Industry; the Institute for Research on Oil and Oil Plants will be merged into the Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry.

At the same time, the ministry plans to arrange 8 colleges directly located in Thai Nguyen, Phu Tho and Hanoi provinces in the 2024-2025 school year. After the arrangement, the number of colleges will be reduced from 8 to 4. Specifically, merging Thai Nguyen Industrial College into the College of Commerce and Tourism; merging the College of Technology and Industrial Economics into the Vietnam - Germany Industrial College; merging Phu Tho Industrial and Commercial College into the College of Food Industry; merging Hanoi Industrial Economics College into the College of Economics and Trade.

Thus, compared to the beginning of the year, the newly issued plan has adjusted the arrangement related to 2 affiliated public service units including: Hanoi College of Economics and Trade and Hanoi College of Industrial Economics. Instead of merging these 2 colleges, according to the new plan, the 2 colleges are expected to be merged into 2 other universities under this ministry.
