Training on Institutional Accreditation according to Circular 12/2017/TT-BGDDT

As part of its 2018 work program, the Ministry of Education and Training, led by the Education Quality Management Agency, conducted a specialized training program focused on the assessment of higher education institutions according to Circular No. 12/2017/TT-BGDDT issued on 19/05/2017 by the Minister of Education and Training. The primary aim of this training, held from September 11 to 13, 2018, in Da Nang City, was to assist universities that have yet to be recognized as meeting the quality standards.

The training session was enriched by the expertise of speakers from five Quality Assurance Centers, including the National University of Hanoi, the National University of Ho Chi Minh City, the Association of Vietnamese Universities and Colleges, the University of Da Nang, and the University of Vinh. This event attracted over 200 delegates from educational institutions across the country, with Hoa Sen University notably sending three representatives from its Center for Higher Education Research and Accreditation.

Through the speakers’ practical insights, as well as the dynamic exchanges and group discussions, the training program was instrumental in deepening the delegates’ comprehension of the newly introduced standards and guiding documents. This, in turn, empowered them to more effectively execute Self-Assessment processes within their respective institutions.

Below are several key topics delivered by the speakers from the Quality Assurance Centers at this recent training session:

1. Topic 1: General report on university accreditation
2. Topic 2: Procedures and cycles of quality accreditation of educational institutions according to Circular 12
3. Topic 3: Guidance on Self-Assessment
4. Topic 4: Techniques for collecting evidence
5. Topic 5: Approach to assessment criteria
