Before officially taking on the current position as principal, Mr. Le Hieu Giang was assigned to be in charge of the school from June 2022; acting principal from November 2023.

Since May 2021, when the previous principal retired and the new principal was not recognized by the Ministry of Education and Training, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education has been continuously vacant in many important positions such as principal, Party Secretary, and Chairman of the school board. The recognition of Mr. Giang as Principal of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education ends a period of ups and downs in the leadership apparatus after 4 years.

Mr. Nguyen Van Phuc, Deputy Minister of Education and Training, requested leaders and lecturers of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education to unite and innovate management and administration.

“The school’s leadership reform has taken a lot of effort and is a profound lesson for the school’s leaders, staff and lecturers on the journey of development. What has passed is past, from now on the school must open a new page in history,” said Mr. Phuc, asking Ho Chi Minh City University of Technical Education to complete its apparatus and seize the opportunity to develop.
