Figure 0.1 TVU educational philosophy
Tra Vinh University believes that education and training are the foundation of society and that their results promote not only personal development but also the development of society as a whole.
TVU’s training programs are designed and developed to enhance learners’ capacity for necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes. All involved parties (including enterprises, employers, skilled workers, scientists, lecturers, students, etc.) are consulted to ensure learners are well-equipped to enter the labour force.
It is also believed that developing the Student-Centred Learning and Teaching System will create the most favourable conditions for learners to specify their appropriate learning plans towards maximizing their potential and strengths and their responsibility for studying, thereby fostering awareness about lifelong learning.
Tra Vinh University provides the skills and training for learners based on the following principles:
Learners’ capacities will be gradually developed through professional skills, coupled with practice at laboratories, experimental fields, camps and practical experiences at enterprises and agencies within the scope of the ‚ coop training model (CO-OP). Additionally, to promote the learner’s abilities, the university offers students favourable conditions via lecturers’ and general- and financial support so that they can carry out projects as well as scientific research related to the approach of contemporary societal issues and engagement in community activities.
In addition to professional development, soft skills, professional ethics, and social responsibility play an essential role. TVU believes these are essential tools for helping learners interact with society and apply their professional knowledge and skills to practice. Therefore, these elements are also integrated into the university’s overall training programs.
