The Deputy Prime Minister urged the Ministry of Education and Training to urgently finalise relevant projects to achieve the target set out in Resolution No. 71-NQ/TW by 2030, with the goal of having at least eight higher education institutions to be ranked among Asia’s top 200 universities, and at least one institution to be placed among the world’s top 100 in certain fields, according to prestigious international rankings.

All projects must be completed no later than the end of June.

Among the three selected institutions, the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City and the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City have already specified their development goals.

The Deputy Prime Minister also stressed the need to clearly define ranking systems and applicable criteria, ensuring consistency across all projects to avoid the use of differing standards.

The Ministry of Education and Training was tasked with reviewing and assigning specific responsibilities to relevant ministries, sectors and localities.
