(HBO) – The Continuing Education Centre of Hoa Binh province was set up in 1997. Thanks to the support of the provincial People’s Committee and Department of Education and Training, the centre has overcome numerous difficulties to develop strongly. On the occasion of the centre’s 20th founding anniversary, Hoa Binh Newspaper’s reporter had an interview with director of the centre Le Nam Thanh.


Reporter: What are outstanding achievements that the provincial Continuing Education Centre has obtained during the past 20 years?

 Mr Le Nam Thanh: Over the last 20 years, the centre has opened 127 classes for 4,224 students, including more than 1,500 officials, public employees and members of armed forces and 3,550 ethnic minority people. It has coordinated with 23 universities, colleges and academies to offer 46 classes of higher education specialising in 30 majors that enrolled over 4,200 students.

 In terms of informatics and foreign language training, the Continuing Education Centre is the first educational establishment allowed by the provincial People’s Committee and Department of Education and Training to provide training and grant certificates in informatics and foreign language skills at A, B, and C levels. After 20 years, the centre has effectively implemented assigned tasks. It has offered training and granted informatics certificates for nearly 4,500 students while working with universities to provide undergraduate IT and informatics courses for 316 students.


 The board of directors of the provincial Continuing Education Centre regularly talks to students and lecturers about key tasks that are being implemented.

 The centre has offered training in civil electricity, industrial electricity, civil tailoring, industrial tailoring, informatics, motorbike repairing, and gardening, enrolling nearly 3,800 students.

 It has also coordinated with departments, sectors and universities to open training courses for 15,000 students and granted certificates to about 1,000 students. The centre’s most outstanding task is training and granting certificates in ethnic minority languages. The centre has given training and certificates to nearly 1,100 students since 2010.

 Reporter: To bring into play the achievements obtained over the last 20 years, what has the centre been doing to improve its quality and effectiveness?

 Mr Le Nam Thanh: The centre will continue making efforts to fulfill the overall task: providing the best, friendliest and most effective study opportunities with a view to improving people’s intellectual standards and training and nurturing human resources.

 In particular, the centre will focus on five key tasks. Firstly, it will continue concretising the Party, Government and provincial People’s Committee’s directives and resolutions on education and training, as well as instructions given by the provincial Department of Education and Training.

 Secondly, it will improve qualifications of teachers and managers. Thirdly, the centre will diversify forms of training and proactively learn about needs for human resources. Fourthly, infrastructure will be built or upgraded. The last but not least task is to increase coordination with agencies, sectors, organisations, local authorities, families, trainees’ workplace, and partners to manage and comprehensively enhance the centre’s educational quality.

 Reporter: Thank you very much!
