These schools operate according to the organizational regulations of Hanoi National University of Education and according to the school's own regulations.

At the same time, the establishment of affiliated schools is also a step to implement the spirit of Resolution 71-NQ/TW of the Politburo on breakthroughs in education and training development, associated with the implementation of the new National Target Program on modernization and improving the quality of education in the period 2026-2035; prioritizing investment in key pedagogical universities. This is also an important content in the Development Strategy of Hanoi National University of Education to become Hanoi National University of Education in the coming time.

The Rector of Hanoi National University of Education, Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Duc Son, said that these are the first steps of the school in its journey to become a university. The establishment of affiliated schools helps each unit focus on an academic field, fully demonstrating its own characteristics and strengths.

Previously, when there were no affiliated schools, training programs in the same field were scattered in many units; the team of lecturers and experts were also scattered in different faculties, mobilizing human resources to implement special programs, especially interdisciplinary and joint programs, encountered many difficulties. The formation of affiliated schools therefore created a clear orientation, enhancing the ability to promote resources in each specialized field.

Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Duc Son emphasized that this change is not only an organizational adjustment but also a shift in management thinking. Those in charge of the fields will have a more complete and comprehensive view, thereby improving leadership and management effectiveness.

According to the Principal, there is still a lot of work to be done in the near future, from shaping and operating new schools, to stabilizing the apparatus, ensuring smooth coordination between units, creating connectivity, and using human resources more effectively. He also expressed sympathy for the teachers who have just taken on new tasks, because with big changes there are always certain concerns and worries. However, the highest goal of this innovation is to focus on learners, creating a new future and position for the school.

“Each teacher taking on the task today will have to shoulder many great responsibilities. The Board of Directors and departments will always stand side by side with the new schools, accompanying teachers to promptly resolve difficulties and handle arising issues,” Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Duc Son affirmed.

Assigned as Principal of the School of Early Childhood Development Sciences (Hanoi National University of Education), Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Thi Lam said: The establishment of the schools is not only to meet the demand for high-quality human resources in related fields, but also to contribute to leading and orienting the development of specialized science according to international standards, contributing to realizing the development strategy of Hanoi National University of Education.
