"Thirsty" for high-quality human resources, the field of environmental resources is "hot"

Speaking at the workshop, Prof. Dr. Tran Duc Vien, Chairman of the Science and Training Council of the Vietnam Academy of Agriculture, said that currently, the country has nearly 100 universities and colleges training in natural resources and environment (accounting for about 20%); of which there are about 20 institutions training masters and doctors.

Of the 100 facilities mentioned above, about 30 have faculties, institutes and research centers; 70 facilities only open one or several majors in training in natural resources and environment such as geology, minerals, geodesy, cartography, land management, remote sensing, meteorology, hydrology, environmental management, water resources management, climate change response, etc.

Prof. Dr. Tran Duc Vien, Chairman of the Science and Training Council of Vietnam National University of Agriculture; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Trong Phuong, Head of the Faculty of Natural Resources and Environment (Vietnam National University of Agriculture) presented commemorative medals to the conference sponsors.

These facilities have annually trained hundreds of masters and doctors, thousands of engineers in the field of natural resources and environment, meeting part of the human resource needs of natural resources and environment in a number of fields: land, environment, geology and minerals, meteorology, hydrology, surveying and mapping.

However, according to Prof. Dr. Tran Duc Vien, training in the field of natural resources and environment is still unbalanced between sectors and training levels. Many new management areas of the sector have not received timely attention from training institutions; the system of training institutions is not synchronous and does not have high connectivity and connection; the staff with high academic titles and degrees in universities, institutes and research centers has not been prepared to replace the previously well-trained staff and meet the needs of training and scientific research; there is no planning for the network of training institutions for sectors and majors of natural resources and environment; investment in facilities, materials, curriculum innovation, and standardization of teaching staff is still fragmented and spread out; there is no policy to attract students to study majors in natural resources and environment that are difficult to recruit.

"The number of students enrolling in the natural resources and environment sector has tended to decrease in recent years, leading to the supply not meeting the demand for high-quality labor in the natural resources and environment sector," said Prof. Dr. Tran Duc Vien.

Mr. Quang Van Huong, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly's Council of Ethnic Minorities, spoke at the workshop.

Sharing the same view, Mr. Quang Van Huong, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly's Ethnic Council, shared a reality he noted in a commune with many difficulties but there were many university students. Unfortunately, none of them were studying environmental resources.

Promoting green economic development and sustainable growth is a consistent goal of our Party and State. Therefore, Mr. Huong believes that universities such as the Vietnam Academy of Agriculture need to continue to innovate their training and attract human resources for the environmental resources sector, meeting the requirements of green economic development in the coming time and responding to the unpredictable fluctuations of climate change.

Meanwhile, Prof. Dr. Tran Duc Vien said that training institutions need to be autonomous in education and training to promote creativity and flexibility in adapting to all situations. Modernizing facilities creates a favorable environment for developing high-quality human resource training. Innovating and improving training quality according to national and regional standards, with regular inspection and evaluation of training programs to improve and enhance quality. Increasing the application of information technology in education and training. Strengthening vocational training connections with production and business establishments with activities related to the field of natural resources and environment.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Trong Phuong, Head of the Faculty of Natural Resources and Environment (Vietnam Academy of Agriculture) delivered the opening speech at the workshop.
