The "liberal sandbox" philosophy - Orientation for future education
At the celebration, Van Lang University introduced the "Liberal Sandbox" educational philosophy - the foundation of the school's identity and the strategic orientation for the new development stage.
The three core values of Ethics - Will - Creativity have been maintained throughout 30 years of operation and continue to be the "compass" of the school. According to Associate Professor - Dr. Tran Thi My Dieu - Principal of Van Lang University, this philosophy aims to train well-rounded people who know how to learn for life, have the ability to adapt and create positive values for the community.
In the context of technology and AI explosion, the traditional education model is no longer enough to meet the needs. Van Lang University aims to build an open academic ecosystem like a "sandbox", where students learn through experience, experimentation, creativity and acceptance of failure. This is an environment that helps learners develop critical thinking, adaptability and autonomy - the necessary skills to become global citizens.
