The project will support the financing of new facilities and equipment for teaching and research, as well as the strengthening management systems. Science and technology universities as well as research-oriented institutions will benefit, so that lessons can be generalized to inform policies on autonomy and quality assurance for the universities.
Additional objectives of the project include support for the strengthening of the key components of higher education – such as the national accreditation system as well as efforts to share the lessons learned by the beneficiary universities. The project will also support policy analysis for sustainable financing and autonomy and the development of an information management system and a shared e-library system.
Vietnamese universities which will be involved in the WB fund investment are Vietnam National University of Agriculture, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, and Industry University of HCMC. More than 150,000 students and 3,900 members of faculty will benefit from the investments. Some 600,000 students and 27,000 lecturers from other higher education institutions will also broaden their learning resources by gaining access to a digital library at the National Economics University.
